Senior Portraits – Sydney I FCHS – Class of 2015 (Charlottesville VA Portrait Photographer)

Last week I photographed Sydney, another wonderful senior from Fluvanna County High School’s Class of 2015. She wanted her senior portraits to include downtown Palmyra and Pleasant Grove, both beautiful locations. I’ve had many sessions at these locations but every time I seem to find something different! This time the leaves were just starting to turn red on a few bushes and the sun coming through them was absolutely gorgeous!

We then moved onto Pleasant Grove where we were lucky enough to find a field full of yellow flowers. Sydney was so much fun to work with and was totally at ease in front of the camera. Both her serious looks and her brilliant smiles were perfect! Her parents and boyfriend came along to her session and there was no shortage of laughter….I had the best time with them!

Thanks so much for a wonderful afternoon Sydney. Enjoy the rest of your senior year and good luck with your future!

Senior Portraits – Lizzie I FCHS – Class of 2015 (Charlottesville VA Portrait Photographer)

Fall senior portrait season is in full swing and I am loving it! Last week I met up with Lizzie, a senior at Fluvanna County High School. Nothing makes me happier then when seniors personalize their senior portraits and Lizzie sure did that! She wanted to have part of her session down by the river and the other on a softball field. I was more than happy to accommodate her!

We spent the first half of the session taking photos down by the river. I’ve shot here a few times before, but Lizzie was the first senior to actually get all the way in the water! When I suggested she sit down and then lie down in the river, she didn’t hesitate. I’m so glad she did…she looks absolutely gorgeous! Then we moved on the the softball fields up at Pleasant Grove. Lizzie has played softball since she was 4 years old and it shows. Talk about some skills! We got that sliding shot of her after the second take! I swear, it looks like someone modeling how to slide!

Thanks so much for a wonderful afternoon Lizzie! I had a fantastic time photographing you and wish you the best with your future. Enjoy the rest of your senior year!

Senior Portraits – Alexis I CHS – Class of 2015 (Charlottesville VA Portrait Photographer)

Fall is my favorite time for photo sessions and I am so happy to be specializing in senior portraits! Maybe it’s because I have two teenage sons of my own but I love photographing this group! Last week I met up with Alexis, a senior from Charlottesville High School. She wanted to have some of portraits taken down by the river and I was more than happy to accommodate her. The river is becoming one of my favorite places to shoot. I love, love, love the shot of her tossing water towards the camera!

Due to the heat wave we’ve been having, it was ridiculously hot but it was a still a lovely day…tons of sunshine and golden light. Despite the heat, Alexis looked amazing in her photos, how could she not with that dazzling smile and beautiful eyes! After high school, Alexis plans on studying nursing. Her mom works in that field and and I think it’s awesome that she is continuing on with that tradition!

I really enjoyed photographing you Alexis! Good luck with your future and enjoy the rest of your senior year!

Senior Portraits – Courtney | OCHS – Class of 2015 (Charlottesville VA Portrait Photographer)

Last week I had the pleasure of working with Courtney, a senior from Orange County High School. One of the best things about being a photographer is all the new people I get to meet! Most of my clients are from the Charlottesville VA area but I’ve photographed seniors from Fredericksburg and Richmond…I’ve even photographed a senior from Kansas!

After a pretty mild summer, we really got slammed with the heat towards the end of August. No worries for Courtney though, I may have been a sweaty mess but she looked gorgeous throughout her entire session! I can’t get over how beautiful her eyes are!! We started out in downtown Palmyra and then moved onto Pleasant Grove here in Fluvanna County. Towards the end of the session, it started raining but we stuck it out and were rewarded with a rainbow! It’s the first time I’ve ever captured one in a portrait!

Thanks for a great afternoon Courtney. You were a natural in front of the camera and I absolutely loved photographing you! Enjoy the rest of your senior year and good luck with your future!

Senior Portraits – Olivia | WMHS – Class of 2015 (Charlottesville VA Portrait Photographer)

Fall senior portrait season is in full swing! Last Sunday I photographed Olivia, a senior from William Monroe High School. We met up in Charlottesville for her senior portraits. I’ve used this location may times before but this was the first time I’d seen these flowers, they were so gorgeous! Oh and speaking of gorgeous, check out Olivia’s eyes…she should always wear blue!

Even though it was hot and humid it was a great afternoon, full of beautiful golden sunshine. Right now everything is so green and lush, it’s hard to realize that in a few weeks it will get colder and the leaves will start to change. I for one am totally looking forward to it!

I had a great time photographing you Olivia and enjoyed spending the afternoon with you and your mother! Enjoy the rest of your senior year and good luck with your future!

Senior Portraits – Kiana | FCHS – Class of 2015 (Charlottesville VA Portrait Photographer)

School is back in session and it’s finally time for fall senior portraits! I’ve loved all of the yearbook photos I’ve been taking, but must admit I am happy to finally be taking portraits outdoors again! Last Sunday I photographed Kiana, a senior from Fluvanna County High School. I really enjoyed working with Kiana…she is so sweet and has the most beautiful smile!

We met up at Pleasant Grove in Palmyra for her senior portraits. The weather was kind of gloomy but I actually love shooting on days like that…it provides the most dramatic sky! Since Kiana plays basketball for FCHS, she brought along her jersey and ball. I’m so glad she did! The ones of her with the ball are some of my all time favorites! She’ll also be attending Lynchburg College in the fall and will be playing ball for them too!

I had a great time photographing you Kiana! Enjoy the rest of your senior year and good luck with your future!

Senior Portraits – Emily | PHHS – Class of 2015 (Charlottesville VA Portrait Photographer)

Last week I had the pleasure of working with Emily, a senior from Patrick Henry High School located in Ashland, Virginia. I’m so glad that she contacted me for her senior portraits, one of the best things about being a photographer is all the new people I get to meet! First we took her formal yearbook photo in my studio and then we moved outside for her lifestyle photos. That’s the great thing about lifestyle sessions, while the formal yearbook photos look nice, they lifestyle sessions really let your personality shine through and Emily’s is absolutely adorable!

We headed down to the river for the first part of her outdoor session. We hadn’t had a lot of rain in July but that worked in our favor. Because the river was so low it ended up looking totally different than I’m used to…I’ve never seen all those giant rocks exposed before! I could have photographed Emily by the river all day but we eventually moved on to the downtown Palmyra area to add a little variety to her senior portraits.

I want to give a special thanks to Emily’s mother who actually stood in the water and held my reflector for a few of the photos! Thanks for a wonderful time Emily…enjoy the rest of your senior year!
