I did a boyfriend/girlfriend senior portrait session to start out the week. It was hectic bounce between one person and the other for their individual shots and then a few together photos as well. We really didn't rest much during the shoot and we found some nice locations to make some images. We did some shots in studio and outside looking for those right combinations of expression and light and gestures.
I was also try hard to not make the exact same pictures for them, although we did do several of the same locations and styles of shots. I felt it was important that they each had their 'own' senior picture experience and then also make some pictures that showed their love for each other. I think in senior portraits we try to capture something within the personality of the individual. We try all sorts of things from smiling to serious, attitude and reflection. It is hard to know the person as a whole having only just met them recently before the shoot or in this case a few small encounters from when I photographed them in the athletic endeavors, Meghan as a MASH Cheaarleader and Colton as a baseball player. We did a lot of things this day in the hope that we found a combination and a set of pictures that will tell a little part of the story of their life as a senior.
