Madison's Senior Portrait Session

November 23, 2018 in Models, Senior Portraits

The other day I had a great time with Madison during her Senior Portrait Session. It wasn’t as cold as we thought it would be, but she toughed it out nonetheless. Her outfit gave her a very undercover spy vibe, very strong and elegant! We began our session on top of the courtyard, using the gloomy sky to our advantage. This helped us get some great moody ports.

The sun opened up just a bit to give us some warmer colors while she was sitting on the steps.

This is perhaps my favorite shot in the set. Her hair flying away, strong posture and super feminine!

Once we wrapped up the courtyard we went downstairs where a patio with these nice columns was. I really love these photos!

Suddenly, the sun came out and gave us an opportunity to backlight Madison and use our strobe giving us some very epically lit shots!

Why do I use strobes for these portraits? One reason is the catchlight I get in the eyes. Do you see it?

We ended our session capturing as much of the sunset as we could. Madison was a real trooper, dealing with the cold and making it happen!

It’s was AMAZING to work with @kelvinachapman again! She killed it. It was also fun to create a make-shift studio in my garage.

I had so much fun shooting this dress! The location was crazy epic and @lp24vswife does what Dru does… She absolutely killed it. My art has been in discovery as of late. I juggle between natural light and OFC. I think having a healthy mixture of both is needed. I’m finding that no matter how long I go without OFC I find myself going right back to it. I love using lighting. Check out @callasprom, love their dresses! .

Learning #offcameraflash has been a game changer for me. Have I learned it all? NO. Definitely not. But the exploration of what can be possible with lights is amazing. I’ve been doing photography professionally for a year and a half now. It’s all I do. I can’t imagine doing anything else right now. Are you chasing your dreams and desires? Are you stretching for what’s in your heart? You should! There’s only one life we get on our own. I say make the best of it and put your foot on the pedal. .
