Charlottesville Senior Portraits | Kara – LCHS – Class of 2015

Charlottesville senior portraits

Fall senior portrait season is going strong and tonight I’d like to introduce Kara, a senior from Louis County High School. She was interested in an urban session (I love all kinds of sessions all but urban senior portraits are my favorite!) so of course I headed over to my favorite Charlottesville location, the IX Art Park! I’ve talked about how every portrait session I have here is different and this proves it! One of the things I love about photography is how a few simple changes really switch up the feel of a session!

Kara is a dancer, tap dancing being her favorite…her mom told me they call her happy feet because she’s always tapping her feet! I was excited she was going to incorporate one of her dance costumes into her photos. When she showed me the masks she got in Venice, I almost started jumping up and down! They are just so cool!! I though they went perfectly with Kara’s outfit and the surroundings. Totally added a little extra drama to the scene!

I had so much fun with Kara and her mom during the session. When the session was over, I was shocked at how quickly the time had flown by! Thanks so much for choosing me to be your senior portrait photographer Kara! Good luck with your future and enjoy the rest of your senior year!

Charlottesville Senior Portraits | Natalie – FCHS – Class of 2015

Charlottesville senior photography
Next up on my blog is Natalie, a beautiful senior from Fluvanna County High School with some seriously gorgeous eyes!! She wanted her senior portraits to have an urban feel to them so we spent the afternoon in downtown Charlottesville. We visited some of my favorite locations and even found a few new ones. That’s one of the things I love about urban session…things are always changing so no two senior portrait sessions are ever the same!

After spending time in the downtown area (including the top of a parking garage which I always love) we headed over to one of my favorite locations, the IX Art Park. They are always adding new works of art to the park. Every time I go, I see something more awesome than last time. I mean, how cool is that book tower chair? If you’ve never been there, you should definitely check it out!

It had rained for several days before Natalie’s session, (it actually rained the day after it too) but we were lucky enough to have a break in the weather. We even took advantage of the situation with a few props. I love the photo of her jumping in the puddles! I had really enjoyed spending the afternoon with you and your mother Natalie! Enjoy the rest of your senior year and good luck with your future!

Charlottesville Senior Portraits – Kate | FCHS – Class of 2015

Charlottesville Senior Photography

Fall is always busy with senior portraits but I love every minute of it! The cool weather is a much welcomed change from the warmer summer months and the changing leaves make for an amazing backdrop. I’m having so much fun with the Class of 2015 and Kate was no exception! She goes to Fluvanna County High School, is a cheerleader, has won a few pageants and is an absolute sweetheart!

I took Kate’s yearbook photo over the summer and was super excited to take her lifestyle session too. Yearbook photos are nice but the outdoor senior portraits are where you really let your personality shine through! Kate brought along an entourage with her to her senior portraits! I didn’t mind one bit though. It’s always fun to have a good friend with you, plus you get some great photos of the two (or in this case four) of you together! Plus I put them to work! They helped me out by carrying gear, holding reflectors and of course making me laugh!

Thanks for a super fun afternoon Kate (and Shay, Lauren and Lexi)! I really enjoyed spending time with you and wish you the best of luck next year!

Charlottesville Senior Portraits | Erin – FCHS – Class of 2015

Charlottesville senior portraits

I love this time of year! The weather is getting colder, the leaves are starting to change and I get to spend my time taking senior portraits! Erin is one of my senior reps for Fluvanna County High School’s Class of 2015 and has been my assistant since she was a Sophomore. This is my third time photographing her and as usual I loved every minute of it! You should check out her urban mini-session and her studio ballerina session. One of the great perks about being an AJP senior rep is all of the extra session you receive!

Since we’d done both the urban and the personalized sessions, we went to the Board’s Head Inn in Charlottesville for more natural senior portraits. I hadn’t been there in years but it is such an awesome location! It was a little cold and crazy windy, but Erin looked amazing! I absolutely love color in my senior portraits and hardly ever show black & white photos but something about Erin in these surroundings called out for it so I included a few!

I’ve been stressing out about who will assist me when Erin leaves for college next year (It’s going to be so sad!) but I’ve finally found her replacement! Well, no one can replaceher but you know what I mean. 🙂 Since Erin was in front of the lens for a change, Savannah came along to assist me. It worked out great and I’m really excited about the prospect of working with her next fall when she’s s junior!

Charlottesville Senior Portraits | Charlie – FCHS – Class of 2015

Charlottesville senior portraits

I have been looking forward to taking Charlie’s senior portraits for months! He’s a senior at Fluvanna County High School and wanted an urban feel to his senior portraits. He suggested we head to Carytown in Richmond, Virginia and I jumped at the chance! I’ve taken senior portraits in Charlottesville, Fluvanna County, even Fredericksburg but this was my first time having one in Richmond!

We spent the first part of the session wandering around Carytown, looking for interesting backgrounds. There were so many great spots! It was a gorgeous Saturday, the first real day that felt like fall so the place was pretty crowded. We decided to head over to Canal Street, another first for me. This location was even better than the first! I could not believe how much cool artwork there was painted on the walls!

Another first, was the awesome outfits Charlie brought for his senior portraits! The cat shirt and sweatshirt, the fast foot sweatshirt, even the hashtag sweater were all so awesome! The only negative of the day was that I didn’t have enough time to photograph all of his amazing outfits! I had a fantastic time with you and your mom Charlie! Enjoy the rest of your senior year and good luck in the future!

============ How exciting! Charlie’s session was featured on the Senior Style Guide blog! ============

Charlottesville Senior Portraits – Shay – FCHS – Class of 2015

Charlottesville Senior Portraits

Meet Shay, from Fluvanna County High School Class of 2015! A few years ago I was honored to take her brother Blake’s senior portraits, so I was thrilled when their mom contacted me about Shay’s. We had to cancel her session once due to rain but it turned out to be for the best. The day of her senior portraits was beautiful…just like Shay!

During the session, I found out a few things about Shay. Some of her favorite musicians are Usher and Beyonce and she listens to Steve Harvey most mornings. She loves chocolate and has a pet Cockatoo named Sunshine. I think Shay could have been named Sunshine too because that describes her personality! She is such a sweetheart and so much fun to photograph.

Thanks for a great afternoon Shay & Kim, I really enjoyed spending the time with you both! Thanks for choosing me to take senior portraits for both of your awesome children! Enjoy the rest of your senior year Shay!

Charlottesville Senior Portraits – Cara – FCHS – Class of 2015

Charlottesville Senior Photography

I love this time of year! The weather is getting colder, the leaves are starting to change and I get to spend my time taking senior portraits! Last Saturday I photographed Cara, a senior from Fluvanna County High School. We started out at Beaver Dam Baptist Church where Cara’s father is the Pastor. There we found the a tree that was absolutely beautiful! The leaves had turned yellow and the sunlight coming through was just gorgeous! Speaking of gorgeous, how awesome is Cara’s hair?

We then moved on to a nearby farm. What an amazing location! There were so many wonderful spots to use, and I am in love with the flower garden they had there! Cara is good friends with my assistant Erin and she also brought along another friend Abbey. I love it when seniors bring friends along to their senior portraits. It’s always fun to have a good friend with you, plus you get some great photos of the two (or in this case three) of you together! I had such a wonderful time with the three of them…I spent most of the session laughing! I’m really looking forward to photographing Erin & Abbey in a few weeks.

Thanks for a great afternoon Cara, I really enjoyed photographing you…enjoy the rest of your senior year!
