I have what you want in Senior portraits!

Your senior portraits are the most important photographs you will ever have taken!  I know you want them to be the best they can be.  This is your once in a lifetime chance to feel like the model for the day!  Even boys have fun!













 Great senior pictures should have 5 things to look for:

1. The background should coordinate with your outfit and your style.
2. Posing that looks natural and flatters your body type, yet looks spontaneous.  It takes a professional to make you look your very best.
3. There should be beautiful light in your eyes.  My work stands out because of the extra time I put into my lighting technique.
4. Beautiful skin tones that have been retouched to perfection that don't make you look plastic or fake.
5.  Always look for the

Clothing tips:

• Think about having one of your outfit selections repeat your eye color.  Navy and gray are popular colors, but tend to photograph a bit dull.  Look for stronger, richer colors.
• Have at least 1 or 2 outfits with long or medium sleeves unless you want to feature your armpits and elbows.
• Darker clothing, especially pants make you look slimmer.  Avoid horizontal strips!!!  Shoes with heel will lift and slim.
• Shorts show a lot of leg and plaid can add bulk.  Short sleeves emphasize the upper arm.

• Bring an outfit that is classic that won't be outdated soon.  Bring an outfit that makes a statement about you and your style. Bring something that has fall colors in it for outdoor shots.

Make-up tips:

• Use both SPF free moisturizer and foundation to prevent reflection and to enhance skin's natural glow.  Use a translucent powder to set.
• Well groomed eyebrows are a must.  Enhance eyelashes with a BLACK waterproof mascara.  dark brown eyeliner is a natural alternative to heavy black eyeliner and compliments all light shimmery eye shadows.
• Don't be afraid to have a little color on the apples of the cheekbones(petal pink).  It will really brighten up the appearance of the face.
• Use glossy shiny color on the lips!  Lips are best in reds, berries and browns.  No frosty pink.  Buy glosses in any berry color.

20th anniversary

This week I had an opportunity to photograph a couple for their 20th wedding anniversary.  To commemorate this event, they wanted some intimate studio shots and some outdoor fun shots with their pride and joy, Abby.  It's heart warming to know there are still people who believe in the institute of marriage and have stayed together thorough all the ups and downs.  I enjoy photographing couples as they celebrate these important milestones of their lives!
