As a photographer who specializes in photographing high school seniors, I can tell you that there's nothing quite as rewarding as capturing the moment when they're about to leave home and embark on the next phase of their lives. For many of these young adults, these images will be the last professional photographs they take before starting their adult journey.
Of course, outdoor photography comes with its own set of challenges. There are so many things to consider before you can even push the shutter button: where to shoot, the time of day, weather conditions like wind or clouds, and many other factors. But when everything comes together just right, the results can be truly stunning.
Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing a charming high school senior for her senior portraits. Before we began, she was pampered in our studio with a full model experience that included perfect hair and makeup. Her parents have a fascinating backstory: her mother is a stunning Russian immigrant, while her father is a second-generation Coloradan who bears a striking resemblance to George Clooney. As I captured her stunning blue eyes, I couldn't help but wonder if they came from her mother's side of the family. (Fun fact: she was recently accepted into Brown University!)
For her senior photo session, she brought along her boyfriend, and I couldn't resist taking a few shots of the happy couple. They made such a cute pair, and it was clear that they were truly in love.
In the end, the young lady's parents purchased a foliobox plus an image of the happy couple. It was such a joy to be a part of their special moment, and I know that these photographs will be treasured for many years to come.
