so far this spring this was the first full week of no rain and great tempts which made for a busy time. One of my shoots was a Senior Portrait session with Katie. We choose the Town Square of Springfield to get a little of the old town casual feel. I shot natural light, ambient plus a reflector and for some images I used a profoto 500 with a beauty dish and sock (care to guess how I lit each image?). As Always I used a Nikond5 and the lens were Nikkor 24-70mm f2.8 and a Nikkor 85mm f1.8.
The sunny skies made Katies blonde hair pop and her natural beauty shine. We had a great time cruising the square and I think that comes out in her photographs.
Another sunny day, location Nashville, temperature HOT, so like other shoots we stop off by a fountain.This is SCHS Senior Tori and we have some shots from her Senior Portraits and we also have some outtakes! This pretty girl took to the heat with no problem unlike me and Josh (my grip, lightman, drink fetcher, etc etc. Regardless Tori mad it impossible to take a bad shot, she if you agree and stay with us for the outtakes cause we always have fun!
The outtakes!!!!
Time out from sports camps and practices that is! This young lady had a hard time finding the time between volleyball and basketball camps, clinics, practices and travel ball tourneys to get photographed. However, even with the climbing temps we got away one morning before it was to terribly hot to get some shots. We did not get the volleyball and basketball shots yet but those are coming soon and will have a post of their own. Allie is quit the athlete and quit the looker as you can see! Enjoy a few shots from her session and as always I hope you laugh at the outtakes, we did!
The storms pasted and help turn a steam bath into a cool senior portrait session for Lydia. This tall lean dancer was a pleasure to photograph! Her laid back attitude comes through in her photos in a way that is very easy to capture. I did say she is a dancer and we do have a second session scheduled for the near future. I have had some ideas about her dance session for awhile and can not wait to try them out! Her dancing shots will have a post of their own in the very near future. Below are some images from her senior portrait session but don't forget to keep scrolling for the outtakes. We had a great time and as always a lot of fun!
Last week we went to Nashville To get some Senior Portraits of this young soccer player (Soccer shots will be coming in a later post). We got off to a rocky start with mother nature throwing some lightning and rain our way! The storm was short and it actual cooled the temps and humidity down so we had a good shoot. Here is some examples of the shots we got and of course keep looking for the outtakes! Thx
The Behind the scenes outtakes (including some cell phone shots her mom shot and sent me)!
We offer representative programs fo high school seniors on a school be school basis that enables the rep to possibly earn a free Senior Portrait Package. You may have heard about this program, but incase you have not, I will explain. I started the rep program as a way to advertise my senior portrait photography to high school students by high school students. Basically I have photoshoots with my reps and supply them and their parents with low resolution web ready jpeg files that can be posted to social media. When they post the images they acknowledge me in the post so their friends and family can see my work. Hopefully the people that see the rep's post will ask them how they can get in contact with me to book a session and the rep gets a referral. If the rep gets 5 referrals they get a free senior portrait package. If they get 4 referrals they get an 80% discount, if it is 3 they get a 60% discount, and so on. If they get no referrals they get a 20% discount.
There are a few restrictions, you are agreeing to have your senior photographs made by me, you agree that you will not be photographed by another photographer during your high school career and you must have fun.
I do limit the reps to one or two per high school depending on the size of the school. Also, I must have a meeting with you and your mom so they are aware of what is expected of a rep and give their permission. I do have a contract that you and your parent sign. Usually the reps are selected on an annual basis and I begin accepting applications in the fall of the school year for the next years reps. If you have questions you may call me at 615-415-4601.
