Amber's Outdoor Senior Photo Session

Holding a photo session in the park is a wonderful option for your photo session. I do something that most photographers would never dream of, I bring my lights with me on location! I move the lights away from the camera so you are not blinded by the flash every time I take a photo. Then I turn you away from the sun or bring you into the shade and set my lights around you to get beautiful lighting without super bright backgrounds or accidental-silhouettes.

Amber was a junior this year and is getting her senior portraits done before her final year in high school. She brought a change of clothes and her flute to get a variety of images for her senior year and wanted her photos to be shot outdoors. We set up in a park near my studio, on the lawn, next to trees, and by this little creek that cuts through the park. I used two small lights on stands that I moved around Amber, depending on her position with the sun. I did this so we wouldn't have really dark shadows on her face while trying to keep the sun behind her.


I love the results of this photo session because it could literally be anywhere in America. You would never guess how close to a street we were or that there was a large playground 100 feet away from us. It could be on a farm, in the mountains, near the plains, or even a park in a big city. I kept the angles very protected to keep some anonymity to the location. I know where it is and how we got the shot, but I want you to see a beautiful portrait.

Thank you for taking the time to view and appreciate my photography.
I am always looking for new models to collaborate on new ideas.
