Senior portraits

Well, High School Senior Portrait season wound down toward the end of November with Dec. 1 as the deadline for most yearbook photos to be turned in.

I clearly remember my own senior portrait session almost 20 years ago. I remember going to a photographer that other kids recommended hoping and praying that I wouldn't look like a GEEK in my yearbook photo. I think that experience has helped me in photographing high school kids even today. I have two goals during a session. 1) Create an accurate portrait of a high school senior that the parents will love, one that has a pleasant expression and a twinkle in their eye. 2) Make the session fun, assuring the guy or girl that they are looking like a model, and showing them some of the cool, fasionable and edgy portraits we are creating along the way. Let them know they don't look like a geek! If I can pull this off it really shows in the photos. The kids have fun, I have fun and the parents always love the photos. I'll post several of my favorite senior portraits over the next few days. Keep posted for some exciting offers for the class of 2011!
