Mini Session, Graduation: Bianca

Just in time for some beautiful weather, I had the opportunity to photograph the lovely Bianca! We photographed at the Illinois State University quad, exploring the back allies and secret pathways around Degarmo (the education building).  We had a fantastic time, and I'm so happy I had the opportunity to photograph these graduation photographs.  

Bianca, Thank you for choosing me to do your portraits.  Good luck at your graduation in December, and all the adventures to come!

Senior Portrait: Nate

Back in May I was up in Wisconsin participating in a huge fashion shoot, and I had some spare time to run to Waukesha to photograph my Cousin Nate.  It was really nice to get the chance to see him and his family, and he was so much fun to shoot. 

The main problem with our shoot was that he looked too much 

like a male model, which was just weird! 

But in the end, he was the same funny cousin that I remember him to be. 

Thanks for letting me take your senior portraits Nate, good luck in your senior year!

Portrait: Meg

 Meg is graduating this year at the semester mark, and with no graduation ceremony to celebrate her accomplishment, we did graduation photos instead.

52: Week 37

This has been an idea I've had in my head for quite a while.  A wiccan-magial scene, with the witch being caught in the act.  My roomie, Kaitlyn, was kind enough to come model for me in the heat and a velvet cape.  The books were checked out from the library, and the candle was one my roomie found for me.  After the shoot, we had fun in the rose garden!

A big thanks to Kara for helping me with this shoot, she was awesome!

Week 37

Kara as my assistant!

Seniors: 2012

Here is a recap of some of my favorite photos from my 2012 season!

All of you were amazing, thanks for making the season great!

Senior: Haley B

Meet my final senior of the season, Haley! Haley and I had an awesome time and she was a great senior to end the season with.

I have to say thank you to ALL of my seniors this year. You were all great, and I am very honored that you all chose me for your senior portraits! Good luck everyone on your senior year, and your future!

Senior: Haley

This cool chick is Haley. Haley and I met at UWSP to start off her senior session before moving on to the studio. Haley is a sassy chick with a great sense of humor, we had a fun time joking and taking pictures, even her mom was pretty cool!

Haley, I had a great time taking your portraits. You look absolutely amazing, your pictures prove it!

Senior: Hannah

Say hi to Hannah! Starting at the studio then moving to Pfiffner, we had a great time hanging out and taking some awesome pictures too! We never seemed to run out of things to talk about, and it was hard to believe how much in common we had!

Hannah, good luck in your senior year and in all your debate competition. I expect to see you in some big important position in the near future!

Senior: Jerek

This kid and his family are great! Jerek, I, and his family had so much fun messing with hats and talking about kittens! It was a really relaxed shoot, but I have to say we got some exciting photos!

Jerek, thanks for being such a great kid and bringing things that really represent you to your shoot. I really feel like someone could look at these pictures, and see how awesome you are.

Senior: Kelly

Say hello to Kelly! Kelly and I started indoors and then moved downtown to complete her senior portrait session. We had lots of fun exploring new locations, making funny faces and strange animal noises. We even saved some puppies! Thats what I call a successful portrait session!

Kelly, good luck in your senior year and in cheerleading. I expect a national title from you!

Senior: Gary

Meet Gary. I've known Gary since he was a little bugger, and I'm glad to see he grew up into a pretty cool kid! We explored down town and talked about what the most unique senior portrait shoots would be, when Gary said he wanted his pictures done in the back of a police car. As we rounded the corner, what did we happen upon, but a police car! With no officer in sight, we decided to snap a picture or two in front of the squad. Wish granted!

Gary, thanks for being so cool to work with. Sorry we couldn't fit sky diving and scuba diving into your senior portrait shoot, but I think we did pretty well anyway!

Senior: Shannon

Shannon and I met bright and early to take some amazing pictures over at UWSP, then headed back to the studio to continue Shannon's streak of modeling awesomeness! We had a great time sitting in wet grass and playing with windows, and especially with my new camera! Shannon was definitely a great senior to try out my new camera on! Although I'm sure she would have looked just as good with the old one ;P

Shannon, I had a great time photographing you. Good luck in your future dream job, I'm glad to see someone so lucky to get to do what they love.
