Senior Style ~ Ally

We had beautiful sunshine the first morning of our senior sessions with Ally.  The sun was in her hair,  and the temps were just right for spending time at Palmer Park and downtown Janesville.  I typically do my sessions in the evenings, and this was my first in the morning this summer, so I had some new locations in mind since the lighting is different.  We had a great time!

 Downtown offers some great lines and textures, and I knew her funky denim and Converse shoes would work perfectly for this location! Ally has great style, and it was fun to capture her laughter throughout the session.

Our second morning featured very different weather!  We met at Riverside Park, and the wind was really blowing -- not to mention the temperatures felt like a chilly fall morning.  I am amazed that we captured what we did, because many times her hair was blowing everywhere!  The willows and Devil's Staircase at the park offered such serene views, which paired well with her simple style that day.

Next we went to a terrific textured warehouse, and an ivy covered wall, and the neatest HOT PINK doors and windows to really pop with her black and white stripes.  Thanks, Ally, for trying these new locations with me that day!  It was super fun!  I hope you have a wonderful senior year.  I just know you have a bright future ahead of you!

Senior Style ~ Maggie Session 2

A few weeks ago I had session #2 for this sweet senior! We had some fun trying the new props I brought along, such as a suitcase, a stool, and an antique wooden folding chair I painted bright blue.  Maggie was so relaxed -- even in 90+ temps.  I just love her smile.  This girl is going places, just watch!

Tonight was the first time I had done any sessions at these locations, and I want to thank Maggie for allowing us to try some new things.  I keep learning and growing so much as a photographer, and a lot of it is due to taking risks with the right client.  Maggie, you are amazing!

It has been a busy few weeks with seniors and babies, so I'll have much more for you to see very soon.  Please stop back!

Senior Style ~ Bryce

I recently had the special treat of working with this young man for his senior portraits.  Bryce was a natural, and followed me around downtown Janesville to find some cool spots without complaint!   Thank goodness we waited out the rain, because we had such a good time.  We have another session soon, so be watching for more.

My senior sessions this summer are booked, but if you still need a session in September, I do have limited availability before the schools need your yearbook photo.  Just send me a message!

Family ~ Legan

It was such a great opportunity to work with this extended family!  I've never worked with a group this size before, and I was a little bit nervous, especially knowing there would be six children all under five years old! But the kids did a wonderful job staying in a good mood!  Smiles from the little ones were a bit hard to come by at times, but I think the overall family photos turned out pretty nice.   Beckman Mill in Beloit, Wisconsin, was a beautiful setting, on a gorgeous sunny morning.  Doesn't everyone look great in their shades and patterns of blue and white?

After the extended family shots, we had requests for individual families to be photographed.  Once again, the mill offered a wonderful variety of places to pose.  The waterfall was so sparkly, that bridge has great lines, and the historic buildings have so much character. 

 

 I hope I have the opportunity to do some photos at this location again sometime.  I also very much appreciate Alie giving me a call to set this up, and organizing the large group to get together that day.  I learned so much from the experience, and I thank you for that very much!

Find me at my Facebook page to message me about family or senior portraits at this location or elsewhere.  I'd love to work with you!
