Senior Portrait Photography, My Top 10 and why I like them so much.

This may be my favorite Senior Portrait that I have ever taken. This image is not what it appears. It looks like Charis is pulling off a perfect glamour pose as the afternoon sun is shining over her left shoulder. Not so. It was actually rainy and cloudy. During a break in the weather, we dashed outside. I set up a Nikon SB800 camera left with no gel. I placed another Nikon Speedlight with a full CTO gel, camera right, slightly behind Charis. This is the result, a perfect sunset.

I love this Senior Portrait because Haleigh included her dog Clyde in her portrait. Her wardrobe matches the theme perfectly. 

One winter, a neighboring farmer planted rye grass in his field. This made for the perfect backdrop for this Senior Portrait. Amanda's blue dress looks great with the green background. The highlights in her hair are from the sun. 

This Senior Portrait of Jacob was taken in my living room. He brought his football uniform along for his session. I shot him on a black background. One flash in front of him and one on each side slightly behind him. My daughters assisted me by standing in chairs and spraying water to make it look like it was drizzling at a stadium. 

Caleb's parents behind him and out of focus show the strong unity of this family. I was glad he included them in his Senior Portrait.

Kate looks like a model in this Senior Portrait. Her connection with the camera is outstanding.

Color is the theme in Jacob's Senior Portrait. He pulls off the perfect pose in this all natural light image.

Here is Jacob again. This was another shot from Jacob's Senior Portrait session. I love the way the clouds and sun make Jacob a silhouette in this image. 
Meghan looks so happy in her Senior Portrait. I used the same field of rye grass at sundown and lit her with Nikon SB800 slightly camera right.

I call this Senior Portrait, the Corona commercial. Kate looks gorgeous standing on the boat dock. The boat house and single palm tree make the perfect background for this Florida themed shot. 

There you have it. My favorite Senior Portrait images from my portfolio. Feel free to comment and let me know if you would like to book a session.
