I love shooting senior portraits in the fall, especially if it means hiking through the woods in order to best take advantage of the leaves… and climbing on top of bridges… and over waterfalls… well. We wanted to make sure we got interesting shots, and I think we lived up to that!

Congrats Isaiah, best of luck for the rest of your year!

We took a lovely sunny evening with the last of the fall leaves to take her senior portraits at the park. Emily had a lot of cool outfits & ideas, we definitely had a good time. Of course we get the standard yearbook shots, but I love when seniors bring outfits & ideas that really represent their personalities and interests- it gives us a chance for really unique portraits.

Emily hopes to go to Gettysburg College to major in history. (Yeah, I’m a little jealous.) That’s such a great opportunity. Congrats Emily, and good luck in all of the adventures still ahead of you!

To say that we were going for nontraditional senior portraits might be putting it mildly. As for the accordion? He’ll tell you it’s my fault, but I don’t know. I may or may not have been responsible for setting him up with an amazing accordion teacher one day. But it’s absolutely not my fault that he took like two classes and and wound being stupidly good at it. That accordion actually has a history to it- it was my great-grandfather’s, who played it at my parent’s wedding; Ian worked at it & played it at my brother’s wedding last year. Good stuff. And everyone knows that the accordion is the sexiest instrument alive, anyways.

Sara asked if she could bring her dog, Ralphie, along for some shots… Of course I said yes! I absolutely love animals- for a while, the house I grew up in had: three rabbits, two cats, one large dog, and fish. After that, taking pictures of one dog is easy! Anyway, I love it when people choose to document their pets as part of the family. I’m happy to work with them anytime.

Of course, we did end up getting the one day that was 90+ degrees and sunny and humid.  But Ralphie was a good sport and Sara, of course, looked chic and beautiful the entire time. She has such a great sense of style.  This first shot looks like she walked out of Sex & the City.
