Senior Portraits

Anne’s Senior Portraits…

There’s just something about being a senior that makes them light up in front of a camera… maybe it’s the fact that they only have a few weeks till they graduate, that they are going to college in the fall, the upcoming trip they’ll take days or weeks with their closest friends after they walk across that stage, or maybe, they are just having a great day… I’m not sure what it is, but I LOVE IT!!  I never know how a shoot will turn out, but I always love sitting in front of my computer and seeing the outcome of each session.  I love seeing the smiles, the laughs, the maturity (the attempt at being serious), the honesty and at the same time that child like wonder and genuine feelings that come through in the pictures (especially in senior pictures).  That’s how I felt with Anne’s pictures… she was being her (true and genuine) and it shows!!  We (Anne, her mom, and I) had a lot of fun last weekend during Anne’s shoot.  I had only met Anne once and it was a very brief introduction so I was very excited to get to get to know her better during the session.  Anne is an amazing young lady… she loves life, she’s who she is and it’s awesome!!  Anne, I’m so glad I finally got to know you and not just hear about you!!  Good luck with school in the fall and thank you so much for letting me capture you with my lens.

Here’s a few shots from our session…

I was standing on a porch in Highlands last fall, watching the fog roll down over the mountains while a bride got her veil pinned in by her mom. Nobody was rushing. There was coffee going cold on a side table and somebody’s grandfather telling a story in the next room. And I remember thinking: […]

Some of my favorite photographs from a wedding weekend are taken with everyone in khakis. I’ve been thinking about that lately. After almost twenty years of photographing weddings, I’ve learned that the moments my couples come back to years later are not always the ones you would expect.  The first look matters. The vows matter. […]

Rachel & Ben were married on an incredible fall weekend in the upstate of South Carolina.  The weekend started out with family and friends celebrating these two at the Greenville Country Club for the rehearsal dinner.  The included hugs, the most beautiful toasts, and Ben grabbing his guitar and playing/singing for guests.  That evening set […]
