I am by no means a portrait photographer, as my primary focus is on photographing homes every day. However, from time to time, I find myself saying yes to the opportunity of taking portraits. A good friend of mine has asked me to photograph her niece on several occasions throughout the years, and when it finally came time for those special senior portraits, I was once again called to action and happy to create magic.
Capturing senior portraits involves a careful blend of creativity, timing, and an understanding of each individual’s personality. These portraits are not just photographs; they represent a significant milestone, celebrating a young adult's journey and achievements. Choosing the right location, whether it be a serene park, a vibrant urban backdrop, or a cherished family space, helps to reflect their unique story. Lighting plays a crucial role, enhancing the subject’s features and creating a warm ambiance that adds depth to the images. By encouraging genuine expressions and natural poses, the resulting portraits resonate with emotion, allowing seniors to look back on this pivotal moment with pride and nostalgia for years to come. This evening was incredibly special and memorable. The lighting was simply fantastic, illuminating her beautifully, and our locations worked out exceptionally well. Everything came together to create stunning and beautiful images of her.
Here are a few of my personal favorites from the session.
