The senior portrait season is basically over for this year, though we still occasionally get frantic calls from parents who say they need a rush portrait done right up to yearbook deadlines. We're looking back at the past year and we're picking our favorite shots of 2011 and as we do this we're working on what sort of specials we'll offer in 2012. Last years specials gave us a great opportunity to meet several very great young people who have bright futures ahead of them. When I see the seniors I've photographed I feel almost a family connection to them and I am genuinely interested in what they going to do with their lives. I see Alyssa quite a bit and I'm impressed with how nice she is to me and seems to go out of her way to say hello to this old photographer who took her picture last summer. Gives me faith that maybe the world is really not so bad afterall! SayerMotter Photographs by Richard Sayer! Can you pick which of these will make it into my favorites of 2011?
