Sophie

I just attended my high school reunion last month. (I’m not giving away how many years it’s been since I graduated though!) But let’s just say it was back in the era of Benetton, rolled jeans and and A LOT of Rave hairspray! Looking back, I could have only dreamed of looking like Sophie when I was in high school – the killer blue eyes, great smile and carefree personality. She just lit up my camera!
Oh, and you might see us on the next episode of America’s Most Wanted. We broke a few laws trespassing on private property to get some shots in that amazing open grass area. (Sweet lighting courtesy of Mr Golden Sun). Oops. Anything for a pic, right?

Senior Session

Recently I offered a FREE session to the first 5 seniors who contacted me. I’ve done a few senior pics in the past, and would really like to offer a senior session as a regular part of my business. The thing I want to know is…what do seniors want? The reason I offered these free sessions is to get some feedback from the seniors and their parents to find out what kinds of products/pictures they are looking for. If you are an upcoming senior and looking for a photographer, leave a comment below and let me know what you’re looking for!

And now….meet Marla. She’s the carefree, beautiful, 2010 senior I got to photograph this past weekend. Luckily, her school doesn’t have any yearbook restrictions so she’s free to pick whichever photo suits her to grace the pages of her yearbook. Hopefully its a difficult choice. :) We headed to downtown Middletown for a few pics on Main St. and then over to Wesleyan University to get some shots on the beautiful campus. I picked the locations since she wasn’t sure where she wanted to do the pics and I think it turned out well. It’s fun to scope out new spots I haven’t used before! Shaun came along for help and, of course, got some great shots of his own. I think he’s a keeper.

Senior Portrait Session

My first post on my new blog! How exciting! I must say, don’t you just love the size of the pics on here?

We got very lucky the day of this session. We beat the thunderstorms! It was a beautiful overcast day which made the lighting great. K was an awesome model! She was up for traveling around to some great locations for her senior pics. We started out at the sunflower maze at Lyman Orchards in Middlefield. The great thing about this (besides huge sunflowers!) is they donate $1 from each admission to CCMC which is where my son had his cleft surgery. (You can read more about that in a previous entry )

Then we headed to the Barns at Wesleyan Hills and then to Wadsworth Manison. This is the first senior session I’ve done and I’m thinking about adding a package for seniors in the future. Teens are so much fun to work with! I will put a link here to a slideshow of her pics once they are all finished so everyone can see how the session turned out. Plus some more info if anyone is interested in senior pics. Hope you like the pics K. The rest will be finished soon.
