SuperGeorge & His Guitars

Earlier this season we shot senior portraits for George. George is a practical kind of guy, and didn't want to go traipsing all over the city for different locations. He wanted us to find one location with multiple backgrounds in one general area. We suggested the Highland area, which George agreed to. We ended up at the Poet's Garden and the flower conservatory.

Here are some of our favorite shots from the day:





George is a really tall guy, and I wanted to emphasize that in this shot:



At one point during the shoot, George and his mother, who had joined us, began to whisper conspiratorially with each other. Melinda and I were a bit nervous, but we had no need to be! George wanted us to do give him some super-hero treatment, and we were only too happy to oblige!

Here is the raw image with no touch-ups:



And here is the photo that George was envisioning, that we created for him, after the fact, in post-production:







The angle and composition of this photo made it perfect for an artistic effect:









George is a musician, and he wanted his senior portraits to reflect that. He brought both of his guitars to shoot with:













The reflection of the sky and the silhouette of the trees in George's guitar were so lovely, I had to give this photo a select color treatment:





For the last photo of the day, George gave us his best Captain Morgan pose:



We had a great time, we had GREAT WEATHER, and George and his mother loved his photos. All of George's friends loved his photos too - especially his Superman photo!

Angela's Senior Portraits (part 1)

This weekend we shot Angela's first senior portrait session. We had a blast! Angela loves nature and the outdoors, so we were able to have a lot of fun with our locations.

Angela really wanted to shoot at a barn, so that is where we started:









There was a corn field near our barn, so we stopped there on our way to our next location:



I loved the vintage feel in this photo, so I worked on the colors in the photo to better reflect the mood I was going for:



Then it was off to the banks of a canal:





We left the canal and went to the Flower Conservatory:







This photo is even nicer with a sepia tone:



We then went to the Poet's Garden:





The arch complimented Angela's features very well, so I used a select color treatment to emphasize her pretty blue eyes:



We found a big tree in the garden, and Angela climbed right up it! It made for some great shots:





This shot was perfect for showing off Angela's very unique, very cool class ring:



We finished off the day at the Sunken Gardens:








It was a very successful and productive day, and for once the weather was on our side! We can't wait to shoot with Angela again at the end of August!
