Sarah’s Senior Pics

Konny’s Senior Pics

Allison came with some requests, like many of my seniors.  Her mom wanted tight head shots and she wanted lots of black and whites.  I always appreciate these requests, especially if you want black and whites.  Doing a simple desaturation is often not enough.  Good black and whites often need photoshop tweaking to get the contrast right.

And, the other chose to take advantage of the iStock discount.  So here are some of the iStock files from that shoot:

This particular photoshoot was a senior photo session and an engagement photo session all in one.  I had a ton of fun!  Chris and Ronae were great and I wish them all the happiness in the future!

The weather was still rather cold so we went to a local coffee shop and to the downtown library.  To be honest, I often feel limited when doing indoor shoots, but both locations offered a lot of interesting backgrounds and flare.

Here are a few that I picked out from that shoot…

The thing is, If you don’t get them done in the summer or fall, by the time winter rolls around, you’ve limited your options to indoor portraits.  This is not necessarily a bad thing, but if you want the freedom of outdoor shots, you do need to think about the weather.  By the time weather warms up again in the Spring, you’ve limited the time you have to make use out of your photos.  In April and May, you’ll be preparing for graduation and everything that entails.  This is not to say that you can’t hand your pictures out around this time, but after your friends have been handing them out all year, you’ll feel a little behind the curve.

So, take it from someone who photographs seniors year round.  Get them done now.  You won’t regret it.
