Senior portraits should show you many different personality traits that describe their individuality. Its important to change wardrobe and location so it doesn't feel shoe-horned into a tiny location. I like to finish a set with formal portraits so they don't feel too stiff or forced. After shooting all the fun poses running around the park and river trails the formal poses fall together much more naturally.
Continuing Will's session, we used the surrounding areas in the park to change the look of his session. From the basketball court to the river's edge, each location brought with it a new perspective for his senior pictures. I don't like to limit anyone to a set number of poses but instead I encourage them to bring as many wardrobe changes and props as they can think of. My sessions run up to two hours and shooting 300 or more images is commonplace.
Fall has arrived and with it comes cold mornings and beautiful colors in the trees. I love shooting outdoors during this time where I can use nature as my backdrop. Local parks offer dozens of options for angles and every direction offers a new look for the photos. This is Will's senior year in high school and we were able to shoot a few hundred shots one Sunday morning in October. These are some of my favorites from his session.
Getting pictures to document the homecoming dance don't have to cost a fortune or be cookie-cutter style with generic backdrops at the school. I met these kids at the park where we got a variety of poses from formal to goofy all in the space of half an hour.
Revisiting this beautiful outdoor wedding from July 7, 2017. The engagement, rehearsal, and ceremony photos were all captured on the same day and all within twelve hours. I divided the day into four posts to share with you all here.

After the group photos, I took Kyndall & Dustin aside to get some closeup and intimate photos of just them. These make amazing memories especially to scrapbook or hang on the wall.
