Eva | FCHS | 2017 – Charlottesville Senior Portraits

Tonight on my blog we have Eva, a senior from Fluvanna County High School’s Class of 2017. I photographed Eva’s older sister Mary Garner a few years ago so I was really excited to work with this family again. They are so friendly and outgoing and I knew I’d have a wonderful time during the session! We started out in my studio so I could take Eva’s formal yearbook photo. In no time flat we had a fantastic yearbook photo and then we were ready to move outside. That’s one of the many things I love about outdoor sessions! While Eva looks beautiful in her photo, her lifestyle session really let her personality shine through!

We started in the downtown Palmyra area where Eva and her family many fond memories. During Mary Garner’s session, I took a photo of her sitting in a tree. For Eva’s session she climbed up into the same tree but she put her own spin on it by bringing a book with her! As you can tell by the photos, Eva loves to read and loves books! It’s so awesome that some of the books she brought with her are the same classics that I read when I was younger! Nancy Drew, Laura Ingalls Wilder…she even brought Heidi and Little Women!

We finished up the session at their family farm. It’s such a gorgeous place, and they have a bunch of horses running around! Thanks so much for a great afternoon! I had the best time spending the afternoon with you guys! Eva, enjoy the rest of your senior year and good luck with your future. I know you have an amazing life ahead of you!

Apparently the horses didn’t feel like any close up shots but you can see them in the background. There were a ton of them!

Hannah | Albemarle High School | 2017 – Senior Portraits Charlottesville

Tonight on my blog we have Hannah, a beautiful senior from Albemarle High School’s Class of 2017. I first met Hannah & her mom Jenni at Starbucks one afternoon in September. I’m sure it can be a little nerve-wracking to have a portrait session when you’ve never even met the photographer before! That’s why I love having in person consultations before the actual session date. We went over hair, make-up & outfit choices for the session. I also showed examples of the different areas we could use for the session.

The day of the session, we met at my studio. My make-up artist Sydney, talked with Hannah about the style of make-up she wanted and then worked her magic. She does an excellent job of making you look polished but still yourself! Since we were having her session after school, we had to keep it short and sweet. Hannah was a quick change artist and managed to squeeze four different outfits into the hour-long session! It worked out perfectly and we were able to capture both the beautiful golden light of the sun as it started setting and the amazing tones that occur just after it’s dropped below the horizon.

Thanks for a fantastic afternoon Hannah & Jenni! Hannah you are so beautiful and are such a joy to be around! I really enjoyed spending the afternoon with you both and look forward to the rest of your session in the spring!

Lily | KGHS – Class of 2017 – Senior Portraits Charlottesville

I hope everyone is having a wonderful New Year! I’m playing catch up with adding senior portrait sessions to my website and one of my goals is to get it updated as soon as possible. Last fall was my busiest season ever and I am honored that so many people have chosen me to take their senior portraits in the Charlottesville area !

Tonight on my blog we have Lily, beautiful senior from King George High School’s Class of 2017. I’ve been close friends with Lily’s parents for over 20 years and first saw Lily when she was about a week old. It blows my mind that enough time has gone by for her to be a senior! I still remember her as a crazy wild little kid with a fantastic fashion sense. She still has an awesome sense of style. Check out the two photos below of her in the hats…she rocked it at six and at sixteen!

Over the years I’ve taken a bunch of photos of Lily. They have ranged from some quick snapshots before I became a professional photographer to having actual sessions after I started my business. She’s always been totally at ease in front of the camera and I’ve loved watching her grow up in to the gorgeous young woman she is. Plus she loves old records and music…she’s a girl after my own heart!

We had her session at a shopping complex here in Charlottesville. I’d never had a session there before but always thought it would make a great location because it has lots of interesting textures and colors. It was overcast and looked like it was going to rain at any second so I actually shot this whole session without using my lights. This is a big deal for me because I love my lights and use them at every session! It was actually a good thing that I wasn’t using them because we were able to move in and out of the different areas very quickly. Lily is so beautiful and I love the way her eyes just pop out of the frame!

So in love with this shot of Lily!!! She always does a fantastic job with her makeup, I swear if she lived closer to me, I’d hire her as one my makeup artists for my sessions!

We finished up her session at Darden, one of my go-to locations in Charlottesville. Man oh man Lily…you are absolutely gorgeous!

Thanks so much for a wonderful session Lily. I always loved spending time with you and hope you have a wonderful rest of your senior year!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful New Year! I’m playing catch up with adding senior portrait sessions to my website and one of my goals is to get it updated as soon as possible. Last fall was my busiest season ever and I am honored that so many people in the Charlottesville area have chosen me to take their senior portraits!

Tonight on my blog we have Toria, one of my senior spokesmodels from Fluvanna County High School’s Class of 2017. We had her session at the Keswick Club in Charlottesville. I’d never been there before but the place is absolutely gorgeous!! Beautiful buildings and landscaping, flowers everywhere and don’t even get me started on the view…totally breathtaking!

It was unbelievable humid on the day of Toria’s session but she handled it like a pro. Humidity and flawless hair don’t usually work well together but luckily Toria’s mother Christiane is a fantastic hair stylist and she saved the day. Toria, I love how your hair looks with both sides pulled up…so elegant! You also have some of the most beautiful blue eyes I’ve ever seen. It may be hard to believe that I didn’t edit them but those of you that know Toria, know that’s her real eye color! Thanks for another fabulous session Toria. I look forward to the next time!

Tyler | FCHS | 2017 – Senior Portraits Charlottesville

Tonight on my blog we have Tyler, a senior from Fluvanna County High School’s Class of 2017. Nothing makes me happier then when seniors personalize their senior portraits and Tyler sure did that! She wanted to have part of her session in the FCHS weight room where she lifts on the Power Team, part on the a softball field, and part outdoors. I was super happy to accommodate her! While I’ve photographed both softball and baseball players, this was my first time photographing someone lifting weights!

We started out in the weight room…I was blown away by how much equipment there was! I guess that lets you know that I never go to the gym! 🙂 Tyler was right at home though and is in such amazing shape! Seriously, she was holding that 40 lb weight like it was nothing, all the while looking like a super model! The time in the weight room flew by and we headed outdoors to one of my favorite spots in the county. Even though it was mid-September, everything was still green and the light spilling through the trees was so beautiful! While we’re on the subject of beauty, let me take a minute to gush about Tyler’s eyes…they are so gorgeous! Sometimes they looked blue and sometimes green. I know that happens to a lot of people with blue eyes but you can really notice it in her photos!

Finally we took a quick trip back to FCHS to finish up the softball portion of the session. We timed it so perfectly and were rewarded with the most incredible sunset at the very end! It was the perfect end to a perfect day. Thanks so much for a wonderful afternoon Tyler & Michelle! I really enjoyed spending the afternoon with you guys! Enjoy the rest of your senior year!

Tyler also plays volleyball so this photo was a nod to all three sports! It almost looks like an ad for Nike!

Tonight on my blog we have LaMaya, a beautiful senior from Fluvanna County High School’s Class of 2017. Portraits in August are pretty hot & humid but we were fortunate enough to have an absolutely gorgeous day. We started her session in the downtown Palmyra, VA where we took advantage of the glorious sunlight that was streaming through the trees. We even managed to find a few flowers that were in bloom!
