It was a huge compliment to me to be able to photograph Stephanie as her dad is a photographer as well. He was a travel photographer who now does some movie work. We had a sweet moment together when he told me how much Stephanie loved her session and that photography is 90% personality, and that based on that I was really headed somewhere with my work. I could totally tell that Stephanie is an artsy girl, even before her mom told me about the great drawings she does. She has a plan for her future, taking a similar route as I did before she makes her big leap. I had a really great time with Stephanie!
This year were offering new wall pieces with great creative names: the Sequence, the Star, the Series, the Story, and the Masquerade. This is the Series. It has 3-5×7 photos in it. I think its fun to have a Series because it helps to see progression second by second. I shoot a lot of frames-a-second, and it’s amazing to see the moments you can get when you shoot like that. I wanted to feature that. I love how one piece of art can stand alone but also stand together with other pieces.
I had such a great session with Jen! She brought the most adorable dog you’d ever imagine with, her King Charles Spaniel named Lolly. It was clear that her parents loved her and doted on her, and Lolly. She was such a sweet girl who is excited to go away to college. She made her own decision for school, not going to either of her parents’ alma mater. She was a super sweet girl who I enjoyed spending time with!
Her parents will tell you Stephanie took after her sister for her shoot; she was very fashionista for her shoot, maybe more so then she would be a normal day, but that’s what your senior session is about: being yourself but also showing another side of you. Her mom Olga was so cute; I could really tell she loved her daughter. I absolutely loved her blue dress! The first photo here is one of the shots that I just love! It feels like everything just came together perfectly for it: the way her body bent in a geometric shape, the perfect way her hair fell, the blue dress being a complementary color to the orange wall, the way the light hit her face and the dress, perfect. It was so fun and just in the moment. Love it. Check out the Facebook Fan page for more of the amazing photos with her blue dress!
As soon as I saw Kim for her session, I knew I recognized her. She was in the Glenbard Fashion show that I photographed bit ago. It was super cool to see her again and photographer just her this time. Her boyfriend’s mom gave her the gift card for her session. I loved her colorful outfit with the backdrop in the studio; I thought it just looked awesome. I could tell she loved the second make-up look that Anna did; she was just beaming with joy and beauty. She was such a nice girl, and I had an awesome time with her.
Alexa’s session was so much fun! She is such a happy girl, super busy and super talented. She’s very sporty! I love her shoe choice too; they were awesome and totally showed off her great legs. Her mom was amazing as well. I had a great time with them.
