Senior Pictures

 

I got to spend an evening with this fun, beautiful, and extremely talented young lady to take her Senior Pictures.  Honestly, she makes walking around in these ballet shoes look easy!  I think I might break my neck if I tried!  We had a lot of fun trying different poses.  I wish her all the best this year, and in the college years to come!

 

Teenagers, Teenagers!

Taking pictures of families with older kids is a whole different ballgame than families with little kids.  It was so nice to have people stay where I placed them, smile, and not break a sweat running after anyone!!  I did have to figure out how to make people smile without resorting to potty humor though, so I guess it's a tradeoff. ;) 

 

I love this picture with the Dad trying to push his son down so he could be as tall as him.  My oldest is almost as tall as me so I'm sure a picture like this is in our future!

All Graduated

This young man just got his Associates Degree (in Physics no less) and his Mom wanted to update his pictures and celebrate this accomplishment.  I had so much fun with this young man.  He is polite, smart, funny, and willing to do just about anything for a great picture - my favorite kind of photography subject!!  I know this young man is headed for much success...in school and in any endeavor he chooses to undertake.

I Hope They Call Me on a Mission

This young lady is going on a mission and I was very pleased to take some pictures of her (she said she wanted a really nice picture to put on her mission plaque).  We went to several different locations and just had a really fun time.  She is a very fun, nice, and amazing young lady, and I wish her all the best on her upcoming journey.

Down to the Wire Senior Shoot

This Senior shoot really went down to the wire as pictures are due on Friday!!  I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this shoot.  It's always nice to take a picture of someone who stays where you place them, and doesn't need a "song and a dance" behind the camera to smile.  And, it helps that she is GORGEOUS (makes editing pictures a breeze)!  Here's a few from today:

I hope you enjoy the pictures, and have a great Senior year!

I Like Silhouettes

I don't know what my fascination with silhouettes is, but I love them. Here are two from the recent senior shoots I did.

Another Peek!

I had the chance to take pictures of this beautiful senior today. She's only 17, but already has 2 years of college credit and has plans to go to BYU (a girl after my own heart)!! She also plays violin so I had her bring it for a picture. Shes' such a sweet, polite young woman and it was a pleasure taking pictures of her.

Okay, Three More

Here's three more from the shoot yesterday. Love them!!

Senior Sneak Peek

I took some Senior pictures tonight for my friend and her son. I have several from the shoot that I love but I am limiting myself to editing three for tonight. Here they are:

He's pretty handsome, huh? He is into photography and totally made my job easy. Plus, he was up for anything, and almost gave me a heart attack jumping and flipping on things!

To Mom: I hope you like these three - I'll get the rest done and get them on a disk soon!

A Few More..

Here's a few more from the shoot, just because I like them!

Oh To Be Young Again!

So, take a deep breath because this is going to be a long one. A girl in my ward asked me if I would take her Senior Pictures. Yeah!! I've never done that before. She was so fun, and up for anything! She was a natural for posing. I have so many pictures that I LOVE! I hope she likes them too.

The building had the word "joy" written on it. I wanted a picture with it. Check out this angle!

And, this is why I am an amateur photographer. This one was going to be my favorite shot of the day, but I got the focus point wrong. Her face is fuzzy, but there is a spot on the wall above her that is in perfect focus. Good thing, because that was a really cool building!!
