St. John's High School Senior Photography - Jordan

I photographed Jordan and his family several years ago and I was shocked to see how much he had changed in 2 years. Jordan and Will (see post below) are best friends we got some fun images of both guys in Okemos the other day.

St. John's High School Senior Photography - Will

I had a great time shooting Will's senior photos the other day along with his best friend Jordan. In the short time I spent with them, it was obvious they are both really great guys (sorry ladies, I forgot to ask them if they are single) and I wish them both the best during their senior year!

DeWitt High School Senior - Sarah

It was great to see this family again. This time it was for a senior session. I can't believe Sarah is a senior already...mostly because it reminds me how old I am ;-)

The evening was filled with bugs. I think I have about 50 mosquito bites, about 10 of which are on my face. I hope Sarah and her parents didn't get bitten as bad. We saw a huge swarm of ants (I am sure there is a better word than swarm, but that is what it looked like to me), a slug on Sarah's flip flop and two gigantor bees....well, getting buzzzzzzy if you know what I mean. I wouldn't have paid that much attention but they were right where I wanted to stand.

Okay, back to the reason for the post. Sarah is a senior this year at DeWitt High School and she rocked this session. Check out those eyes! Congratulations Sarah on your senior year, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

I am always happy to attempt photos with animals but they rarely turn out. I consider this one a success.



I love primary colors. Red barn, blue eyes, green sweater...check!



This might be my favorite though.

Also a big fan a golden yummy light. Maybe this is my favorite.

I saw this patch of Queen Ann's Lace when I drove in but I forgot about it until Sarah's mom reminded me. Thanks Kathy! Sarah, please crawl into the muddy, bug infested patch. Fortunately for me, Sarah is a photographer as well and she knew the good spots before I even suggested them and happily obliged.

East Lansing High School Senior - Ali

Have I mentioned I love photographing seniors? Ali was so fun and such a trooper. I dragged her all around town until the sun went down and then some.

We started at East Lansing High School where Ali plays lacrosse. When I asked what other hobbies or interests she had, I was told her beautiful dog Boog....the Great Dane. Everyone we passed asked about him, wanted to pet him, etc. He was a really good boy but didn't care much for the feel of the metal bleachers under his feet.

Ali is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. Congratulations on your upcoming senior year Ali! Have a safe trip to Uruguay. I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

Matt - Senior Session

We just escaped the rain yesterday and had fun shoot with Matt who is a senior this year and drove all the way from a town close to the Ohio border (that is how is sister explains it...and I don't think I had ever asked her the name). One of Matt's interests is skeet and trap shooting so we tried to incorporate his hobby in the session. Can senior pictures have guns in them? Hmmm....well, these do.

I also finally forced myself to experiment with some off camera lighting. I thought this would be a cool day to try it to give the images a more dynamic edge and also the skies were a little dreary so I wanted to give the images some punch. I hope it worked. Thanks for making the trip Matt, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

Sarah - The Slideshow

I probably won't be able to check email this weekend, so please be patient with me to get back to you early next week if you have contacted me.

Sarah

The other night I met up with Sarah and her mom for a senior session in downtown Lansing. I work downtown, so I kind of forget what a pain it is to navigate around the construction and detours that are on almost every street. They were determined to find me amidst the chaos though and I think we got some really fun stuff.

Here's your sneak peek Sarah...thanks for being open to all of my crazy ideas. I hope you enjoy them!

Yep, she's gorgeous!

And she has legs that go on for miles....I am SO jealous!


I love the lines in this shot.


Posing in front of a scrap yard...check!

Dan + A note about email

Wow! It has been a busy weekend. A wedding with my friend Abby and a senior session with one of my favorite people, Dan, and a trip to visit my parents. We have not had internet service since Friday (I haven't been near a computer since then anyway.) and upon opening my email in-boxes (from a couple different addresses)...I have about 50+ emails to wade through. Who knew I was so popular! It's probably all spam ;-) I may not get through them all tonight so please be patient with me and I will get back to everyone as soon as possible.

Thanks to my husband for helping me on this session! Not only do I like spending time with you...but you're a pretty awesome photographer too!

Hope you like your sneak peek Dan! Sorry ladies, he's already taken.
