Last Saturday was a great day for being outside, and Jenifer was definitely at home in the outdoors. While we had a great studio session, Jenifer’s whole persona changed when we started the location shoot. I’ll admit, trying to feel comfortable inside a studio is hard, but I’m glad I usually start there, as the ice begins to melt between myself and the senior. We all have to warm up – and Jenifer was no exception. Although somebody flipped the switch on the sun about 4:30, we had a great time and I think we have some awesome images from our time. Thanks again Jenifer!
What can I say about Keleigh…besides that the way she spells her name absolutely rocks… Well for one, she rocked her session! Between stirring up little white seeds in tall grass to kicking around in a puddle, we had a blast.
She was also really patient.
On almost every shoot, I’m experimenting with something in hopes that it makes that particular shoot unique. This time, I pulled out *gasp* TWO LIGHTS on location. The picture above was shot after the sun had gone down, so I had to create my key and fill without the help of nature. So I put my big softbox right next to Keleigh and had a blue gelled speedlight shooting at the wall so it would spill on to her without being direct. Okay, it looks like I’m getting in to nerd talk here, so I’ll shut up and let you look at the pics. Thanks again Keleigh for the great shoot!
A 72º day in November is always a good day – but it was made even better by a great shoot with Jessica. Another cousin of mine, I’ve watched her grow up and am staggered that she is already a senior. With the leaves barely hanging on to the trees, it can be difficult to find great locations. As you can see, one tree still held on to its autumn gold – right in the middle of town. Lighting wise, I’m still trying to get used to the daylight “savings less” time. It seems even the quality of light changes when we hit that mark. However, despite the “odds” Jessica turned it into a great shoot. Thanks Jessica!

David’s Senior session was one of the most fun shoots ever. A fellow photographer, I got to talk shop and somebody was actually interested! David is a really nice guy who photographs really, really well – and takes great pictures to boot. I’d like to take full credit on how well these images turned out, but I have to give a lot to David, who completely rocked the shoot. Thanks for the great session!
Normally, I only post 5-7 pics on the blog…but I honestly could not narrow it down…so here’s eight!

If I were to describe Serena’s shoot in one word, it would be, “unpredictable.” From the very beginning, Serena was lit up with personality, and I was working hard to keep up with her pace. From climbing trees to balloons to balloons bursting and sounding like a drive-by…it was an exciting shoot through and through. And now I present a few of the highlights from the day – enjoy!

This past Saturday, I was finally able to have another Senior shoot. With all the rain we’ve had recently, I was unsure if we would be successful or not. But, luckily, we were blessed with fair weather – a bit chilly with clouds, but thankfully dry.
Madison’s session was fun. I finally got try “hair whipping, ” which I think turned out pretty cool (shown in a pic below). We found a couple new nooks and crannies to shoot in, which resulted in some very nice backgrounds.
You can check out a few of the highlights below!

Well the first Senior shoot of the season has come and gone…actually it was two shoots due to the weather. However, this played into Samantha’s favor. We had a good studio and location shoot resulting in some very nice pictures. Last Saturday was hot and muggy, but our location shoot turned out great…she was a real trooper!
Check out the shots below!
