When it comes to Senior pictures, many guys just aren't as comfortable with the process and for many of them they would rather take a snap shot and use that then spend an hour or 2 taking photographs. Mike was no exception, his Mom called us for help because she really wanted photographs and didn't know how to get him excited about it. As we talked on the phone, I suggested that someone who is close to Mike come with him instead of her to help support him. On the day of the shoot, Mike's girlfriend came with him and she helped him relax and even joined him for a photo. Whether a male or female, it is definitely something to consider, sending someone to come along who will help to encourage relaxation and laughter. Here is the video from that day!
This week we got to go to Denver to photograph Kim's high school senior portraits. She greeted us with such excitment I knew this was going to be a really fun day. We walked all around downtown and along the river.Kim was a natural! She tired positioned herself often how she felt comfortable which madethe pictures looknatural. As we got towards the end Kim said I have been dreaming about how this day would go and it was exactly what I wanted! Here is a video for kim's photos:
For a while it looked like Abigail's portrait session would called on account of rain but the rain subsided and we had a great session. The cloudy sky along with the addition of our softbox for natural lighting yielded amazing results. Check these out. Thanks Abigail for a fun afternoon.
Senior portraits are meant to portray a sense of who the individual has become, their interests and their attitudes. Kathryn was the latest senior portrait session and attitude. We spent time taking photos around Kathryn's house because they are going to be moving soon and she wanted to capture some memories there. Once Kathryn got comfortable with us following her around, we photographed her with her dogs, her trombone, her letter jacket and her class ring, all things that were important to her.
