Senior Portraits

Blog by:  Eve R.

As much as I love taking photos of maternity and babies, I just realized that I also love taking photos of SENIORS, as in going to graduate this year from high school and heading off to the college of their choice!  It's the time when your child reaches that age that is half child and half adult.  It's a cross road heading off to being independent.  It's a scary time for parents and an exciting time for these high school seniors.  What I love about the Senior Photo Session is that I get to capture the true beauty, the true individualism before they turn into adults.  It can turn into a fashion or beauty photo shoot,  it's a great way to express to others who you are, what you love and what you represent to the world.

Here is an example of Leslie's Senior Photo shoot.  She was calm and easy going.  It was great working with her.  I see she is an adventurous and fun person just by how she acted in the photo shoot.  She was not afraid to walk on water, get her feet wet or climb on top of a rock.  She is fearless (well, except for the bees and ants) and you can see the energy and confidence shining through this young woman.  I hope these pictures show that part of her.

What to wear:  Wear what is comfortable, flattering and in style.  I love colors or anything that makes the color pop in the photo.  Anything that express who you are.

What to bring:  Props can be a sport or a musical instrument you play.  It can be something that represent who you are.  You bring your own style to the photo shoot.
