I enjoyed making Challen's senior pictures because she pictured a location that meant something to her, part of her families property. I think it adds a story element to the photographs that can't be manufactured in front of a generic park scene or even inside of a studio. Don't misunderstand me, i think we can achieve a true portrait anywhere, but to add elements of a personal story just simply adds so much to the experience and ultimately the meaning of the image.
