October is not only the season of football and Halloween, but a great time to add color to your Senior Portraits. With the colors of red and gold you get warmth to your portrait you will not see in a studio or in any other seasonal portrait session.
I had the joy in photographing a girl who I had not seen since she was 2 or 3 yrs old. When I got a call from her Mom that she wanted to have her Senior Portrait taken, I almost fell off my chair. It is hard to believe that 15 years or so had passed by that fast.
This session took place at the Marion Square and the ally across the street. When I take outdoor portraits I like to choose area that has character and complements the subject. I feel that I have achieved this with the round of portraits above. It was hard to choose a favorite portrait so I put the three that has caught my eye so far. Even with the pressure of an audience of her Mom and boyfriend she performed flawlessly giving me a lot of great smiles and always flashing her expressive eyes. The fall colors are rich and the poses are simple and that is what draws me to each of these portraits. I don’t like to work with a complex lighting set up, but instead I like using the background light, shadows and a reflector to capture the subject in the portrait.
I had a lot of fun taking these portraits and love the way they turned out. She has grown up and changed from a cute little girl to a beautiful young lady. If want to see more take a look at my web site and see more examples of past and current seniors that I have taken.
