Megan | FCHS | 2017 – Charlottesville Senior Portraits
Tonight on my blog we have Megan, one of my senior spokesmodels from Fluvanna County High School’s Class of 2017. We met at my studio in Palmyra,VA so she could have her make-up done first (Thanks Sydney for the fantastic job!), then we headed outside. Sometimes the best locations are literally in your own back yard! 🙂 We have a ton of evergreen trees and when the light shines through them it’s absolutely gorgeous! Speaking of gorgeous, check out Megan’s eyes! I didn’t change the color at all…they are really that amazing light blue color!
We then headed over to her house for the rest of her session. I’d been there a few years ago to photograph her older brother but this time it was late fall and the landscape had changed a bit. There were tons of yellow flowers everywhere! We also had a fabulous dramatic sky to work with…it was awesome! Thanks for a wonderful afternoon Megan, I look forward to your Taylor Swift icon session!

Tonight on my blog we have Gabby, my senior spokesmodel from Louisa County High School’s Class of 2017. When discussing possible locations with Gabby, she mentioned she wanted to have some of her photos taken down by the river. I was more than happy to accommodate her. The river has become one of my favorite places to shoot! You never really know what to expect down there so each session is always a little different. The day of Gabby’s session there were tons of trees that had turned yellow and they made the background and the water look so cool! It was the perfect contrast to her awesome purple dress!
Before we went to the river though, we took a few shots in my neighborhood. I love having all of these evergreen and pine trees practically in my backyard! Then headed over to the downtown Palmyra area to add a slightly urban feel to a few photos. We’re so fortunate to have so many different locations in our little neck of the woods!
Gabby you are absolutely beautiful both inside and out and your eyes are out of this world gorgeous!! Thanks for a wonderful afternoon…I can not WAIT for your Beyonce icon session!!
This has to be my favorite outtake ever…Gabby you are adorable! 🙂

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!

Holy cow, the school year has flown by!! Fluvanna County High School just had their graduation for the Class of 2016 and the other schools in the Charlottesville area are coming up soon. It may seem hard to believe but it’s time for the Class of 2017 to start thinking about their senior portraits!
Did you know that you have a choice when it come to your formal senior yearbook photo? The schools in our area allow you to use whomever you’d like! If you allow me to take your yearbook photo, rest assured everything will be taken care of!
After you’ve selected the photo you love, I’ll edit and resize it to the precise yearbook specifications. I’ll also deliver the file directly to the yearbook adviser. You don’t need to worry about a thing.
I’ll be taking yearbook photos through out the summer but they are by appointment only so schedule your session today!
You have two different options for yearbook sessions.
Senior Yearbook Photo – $40
|
Senior Yearbook + Studio Session – $150
|
I understand that not everyone wants or needs the outdoor lifestyle sessions that I offer. Sometimes you just want a few great photos that you can send out along with your formal senior yearbook photo. That’s why I also offer the Senior Yearbook +Studio sessions.
Over the past year, I’ve added tons of new backdrops (and a few floors) to my studio so I thought it was finally time to photograph them all. Last weekend I had my 2017 models come to the studio to test them out. This way you can see the different options I have to offer when selecting your outfit choices!
First off we have Savannah and Lindsay modeling two of my favorite urban backgrounds. I love the fact that I can swap out the background and floor and get two different looks!
I also had Lindsay try out a new floor to see how it looked when shot from above…I love the results!
Cameron and Aurora tested out one of my newest backdrops. The pattern on the backdrop adds just enough interest without overpowering the photo.
Matt and Emily were next with another new backdrop of mine. I may be biased but I really think it looks like a brick wall not a fabric background!
Another example of how changing up my settings, totally changes how a photo looks! Emily and her awesome shirt really stand out against the bricks!
Megan and Gabby modeled another backdrop and floor combination. The pattern on this green is so subtle, it will go with both prints and solids!
Next up is Grace. Though I’ve had the backdrop for a while, both the floor and the chair I found at Goodwill are new. That chair was such a great discovery!
Charlie’s shirt went perfectly with this blue backdrop that I’ve had for while…that blue color really makes his eyes pop!
Kristen tried out both the blue backdrop with my new floor and this awesome black & white screen paired with my dark wood floor.
So glad we had the thought to photograph her on this floor while wearing this hat…such a fantastic look!
Another backdrop that I’ve had for a while. It’s one of my favorite colors for a backdrop and I use it all the time! It looks so great with Toria’s beautiful blonde hair!
The rich brown tones of this backdrop totally compliment Leanna’s hair and eye color…so gorgeous!
I love using this black background, especially for dramatic shots where you want your subject, in this case the lovely Sadie, to be the main focus.
Ema, one of my FCHS reps wasn’t available when I shot these so I saved one background out for her. I’ll be adding it to this page soon though!
I’ll be announcing the dates for my yearbook photo sessions in the new few weeks so stay tuned! I’ve also begun scheduling fall outdoor portraits, and my schedule is filling up fast! Have you scheduled your portrait session yet?
It’s never too early to get on my fall calendar, contact me today! | 434.906.0418 | photos@alijohnson.com
