Just a week after this session with the Killinger family, their oldest son, Walt was leaving for his 2 year mission. Instead of heading to college, like many graduates in his class, he would be traveling to a different country where he knew no one. During his mission, the only communication he will have with his family is written letter.

Senior Shoots are never boring. I do my best to offer a fun and unique experience that shows the senior’s personality and energy, and sometimes, that is not easy. There is something about that big black box (a.k.a. my Canon) that stiffens people. This was definitely not the case with Molly. There were quite a number of times when she broke out into song…

I was so excited when Erin’s grandma, Rosa Ann, told me that she wanted to do a night shoot for our mini session this weekend. Erin wanted to do something creative, so I used my flashes and used the Christmas lights on the trees that line Queen Street to get some unique shots.

A morning walk through a meadow is definitely a nod to Elizabeth Bennet, and it is a refreshing start to the day – especially when it involves a Senior Shoot. Abby’s shoot was postponed from an afternoon to a morning because of all this crazy rain we’ve been having. (See her night shoot sneak peek here.)

Abby had her heart set on doing a night shoot for part of her senior portrait session, so we weren’t going to let a few summer DOWNPOURS stop us from getting out into the streets. We just hopped over the puddles we came across (and scheduled 4 rain dates – haha – that’ll teach em!). The daytime shoot had to be put on hold (see her day shoot sneak peek here), but I’m so excited to show you my faves from her night shoot!
