I’m so excited to show off Madison’s full senior session today! She’s been so much fun to photograph this year and working with her and her family has been a pleasure. Plus, we added a first to my list of animals I’ve photographed on session… Goats!!! And even better, BABY goats! So now animals on sessions have included goats, pigs, bulls (even though I’m randomly and irrationally afraid of cows), horses, cats, dogs, bunnies and a fish!

I am absolutely in love with Madison’s prom dress. So classy and sophisticated and I’m so glad she chose to include it on session for a little dressier look. She also braved a super early morning this fall to snag our sunrise session. Every Columbus day (which is one of the only school holidays in the fall) I work a full sunrise-sunset schedule. It’s a beautiful time of year and we make the most of the day off school! And the senior who gets up before dawn gets use of some unique locations that we rarely use that are best at sunrise.

Hey guys (like literally GUYS)… senior portraits are not just for the ladies! Sure, maybe you haven’t been thinking about your senior pictures for years (or maybe you have – we love that!).. maybe you think it will be uncomfortable or weird. I get it, for real… I have been a photographer for 15 years and with my husband for all 15. Luckily for him the annual photo sessions didn’t really start until after we got married and had kids but NOW I make this poor man have his photo taken EVERY SINGLE YEAR (I mean, he married a photographer, he should have known).

So what does that mean for you senior guys?!?! It means that not only behind the camera but also in front of it I’ve learned how to make you 100% comfortable… I’ll make sure you know what to do in front of the camera and then we’ll laugh and joke and hang out and make it way less stressful and boring than you may think it could be.

We do have to start with a plan, this is YOUR session and we need to design it to fit you and show off who you are. Love your truck? Bring it! Love your dog? You better bring him/her! Love your gun, bow, 4 wheeler, boat, sports, games, guitar, drums (you name it)…. BRING IT!

Reese has such a fun bold and retro style which made it so fun to photograph her and try to pull in a bit of the beauty and edge.

I love that in a generation where you can literally play ANY song in the entire world in seconds on your phone (come on guys, read that all again – it’s CRAZY) she’s still rocking the vinyl. While I didn’t really grow up with vinyl (I’m happy to have held onto my parent’s collection) I vividly remember Friday nights heading to the mall to hang out at the music store, flip through CDs and push the little sample buttons to play snippets of the songs we wanted to hear (from the CDs I couldn’t afford lol). It’s a great time to be a music fan ya’ll!

It’s Kolapo’s day in the spotlight on the blog! One fun things about senior guy sessions is that their wardrobe changes are typically a little quicker than our senior gals, so we tend to be able to fit a LOT of work into a single session! We kicked things off with Kolapo at his home (they have some gorgeous land with a fun red barn) and that’s always a great plan for the family pets so they are comfortable in their own space. And can I just tell you I fell in love with Winston.

It’s Jillian’s turn up on the blog today!! She was SO fun to photograph with her unique style, confidence in herself and comfort in front of the camera. All of this comes through in her images, made her sessions fun AND you can even see more of in her own youtube channel. What?!?! yup, that’s right. Check out this girl’s musical and creative talents on her channel HERE.

It’s so cool to me, that high schoolers (and younger) are growing up in a time where you can just create… want to be in music videos? Want to be a videographer? There’s no longer a barrier of hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of equipment to get to those goals. Your camera and recording device is right in your pocket. This is a key concept I speak about every time I speak to groups of young people who’d like to grow up to be creatives or entrepreneurs… you no longer have to ‘grow up’ to chase those dreams!

So while we took a more traditional path for Jillian’s wall art (to match those created for older siblings), I knew for her album I wanted to add a bit of modern and unique design and I’m excited to share not only some of her favorite images but also a few of those design pages today.
