Port Huron Senior Spring Session

A Senior Photoshoot in studio and on location

Hiding among the Spring blossoms

   A sweet girl with fantastic hair and a sassy fur baby- all those things make for a killer Senior Photoshoot.
   Alex is Class of 2017. When most Seniors do their shoot in Summer or Fall, she waited for Spring and it was perfect!    We started the adventure off by doing some hair whips in the studio, then fanning out all those curls over her music sheets. I’m sorry, but when you come to me with gorgeous, thick locks like that you must allow me to 1- touch them 2- continue to talk about them 3- show them off.
   Next we drove 10 mins out into the middle of nowhere where we could get some nice grungy shots under a bridge next to the river and let her Huskey pup run wild! Angel, Alex’s mom, was there too. She was our lookout for when cars drove over the bridge, and to let us know we wouldn’t be dying, because when you’re UNDER the bridge and a car drives over, the sound makes you think you’re sure you’re about to die in that moment. haha She gracefully made her way in cute ankle boots over wobbly sharp rocks, which Elores, my assistant, would warn us if we were about to die on or not too, testing to see how wobbly they were before we got there! As I said before- it’s going to be amazing, I never promised it was going to be easy. And that’s why we call this an experience, not just a shoot.
   When we pulled up we opened our doors to the most beautiful overgrown bush I have ever seen, full of beautiful pink and white blossoms. Thank you mother nature- this will work stunningly for our black dress outfit with pink and silver balloons! And of course, we plucked off some blossoms and put them in her hair.
   We finished the shoot off tucked away in the trees just as the sun was setting. Alex’s adorable smile and easy going attitude made for the cutest casual shots I’ve ever taken. Just her, as she is in that moment, never to be the same again, captured in the sunset before graduating. So bittersweet.

Senior guy transforms from casual to model during his photo shoot

Class of 2017 Senior goes street performer.

Let’s rewind to 2 years ago when I was looking for a model for a personal project I was working on and got hooked up with Audrey. Since then we’ve done 2 personal projects together that remain in my top 10 fav projects I’ve ever created!
   She has a shy but adorably sarcastic boyfriend that she’s been with for 3 years. She recommend him to me and they ended up booking a last minute Senior shoot. To make things even more ironic he, his mom, and his younger brother walked through the door and I instantly realized I photographed his little brother YEARS ago when I very first got into photography. Now it had come full circle, back to him. Not it was Matt’s turn!
   We started out in the studio with a black leather jacket and side swept hair that totally reminded me of an Outsiders vibe, which between the laughs he totally nailed! We then ventured outside where we did everything from climb over downed trees, hide under wooded forts, walk down railroad tracks laid in the river, and even got desperate and had to bust out the trombone case and turn into a street performer to get us to the next location.
   There was a lot of laughing and silly sly looks but Matt totally pulled off 4 different looks that I think secretly showed off all his personalities he might hide away until the time is right.

You have to watch our Behind The Scenes film to fully appreciate Matt's personality. It makes me laugh and smile every time!

Senior Guy rocks that Natural Vibe

Senior works his natural look and it rocks.

Senior Pictures on the beach followed by Classic Fashion Portraits in the city.

You always tell people to be natural in front of the camera, which then makes being natural in front of the camera look like the most difficult thing they have ever done in their entire life.
   You tell people, yeah, it’s awkward but pretend like I’m not here. That never happens but people normally laugh.
   And then I met Troy, probably the first guy in the history of photography to get in front of the camera and just relax. I asked him if he could teach my future guy seniors how to be natural but I’m still waiting to hear back.
   Troy’s personality is adorable- and I mean that in the most mature way. He’s always smiling, easy going, and even when he’s not smiling he just pulls off that casual look that belongs in a magazine, without looking fake. He said he plans on going to school for stand up / comedy, which I also totally adore- it's outside of the norm of what I usually hear when I ask what their plans are after school, it's true to who he is, and more people should take what they love more seriously so they can live it.
   Keep living that natural life that comes easy to you Troy, you wear it well.

Chasing the Sun- a Senior Session at sunset

Senior Session at Sunset-
Old Hollywood Glam and Back Country Roads

   Adriana's Senior Session just made me fall in love with bright colors all over again! The vibrant pink dress, the amazing sunset, her bold red dress and lip- oh my gosh! 
   We were racing time this whole night and putting our trust in the sun to not set too early on us. We started at the studio, trying new things with sheets and back lighting, using complimenting colors to her dress. We then switched up the look from young and fun to dramatic and glam. We crept into a field that holds this beautiful, crumbling house and photographed Adriana looking oh so grown up and timeless. We turned around, realized the sun was sinking, and cruised to our last location which was simply a plowed bean field off a country back road and just melted over this look with the sun!
   Senior girls and Mother Nature- the beauty is overwhelmong!
