Ollie - More Senior Portraits?

On Monday, I shot senior portraits for both Ollie and Hannah at the same time. Each really does deserve a separate post because of the different individual looks - and that's what I love about them. The pictures of both Ollie and Hannah were taken moments apart in the exact same locations, but its hard to know that just from looking at the photos. Also, Ollie's personality carries through very differently in the photos than Hannah's - and it should, they're two different people!

Hannah - Senior Portraits?

After three failed attempts for Hannah, Ollie and I to get together for a senior session over the past few weeks, we finally made it happen on Monday. I just finished Hannah's photos, but Ollie's will be up shortly as well. When Hannah and I first sat down to discuss how she wanted the photos to look, it became apparent that she trusted me entirely to work my magic (I love it when this happens!). Together we decided to go closer to a fashion look than a traditional "smile-at-the-camera" senior portrait--and it was an excellent choice. Hannah rocked these photos. We spent most of our time wandering around bridges and the river in downtown Mariposa, walking until we found the right place. I love the urban looks we were able to create in such a "scenic" part of the state.

More Seniors!

Last weekend I had the chance to work with three wonderful seniors in Mariposa. We brought out all of the studio equipment and really had some fun - especially with the white background. Many of you know that I normally work on locations, so being inside for an entire shoot was a bit strange, but I love the photos!

Ashley's Senior Portraits

Last weekend I had the chance to work with Ashley to create senior portraits. Since we were at Bass Lake, I felt the need to once again put my model in the water and she was a great sport! Together we created some beautiful images as the sun went down. I love the last shot of Ashley and her mother enjoying the sunset together.
