I don’t know where all the boys are but these senior ladies sure are making my job easy and fun! I love how even though I use the same backgrounds and posing and props (if any!), each session is so unique and all about the senior. I love to discover something new each time I shoot in a repeat location but it can be a challenge at times. Shooting at different times of day helps vary what those outdoor locations look like and the kind of light they produce. That is one thing you can look for when selecting a photographer for your own needs…how does he/she use light to create drama or set the mood. Does the photographer get varied lighting or is it all the same? Do the shadows in the image add to or detract from the image? Lighting really is the “magic” element that takes it from a snapshot to a beautiful portrait.

Ashley brought her mom and sister…and her grandmother all the way from Mexico…to her session. Even though I could not communicate with Ashley’s abuela (thanks to Dora, I know that word!)…it was fun to see her reactions to some of the things I had Ashley doing. I could tell when she thought I had her doing something silly or strange…and when she thought it was beautiful. Ashley is a gorgeous girl with amazing colored eyes…I love the unexpected features and her light hazel-colored eyes seemed to pop out against her skin tone. Makes this brown hair/brown-eyed girl a teensy bit jealous!
