Seniors






I absolutely love photographing seniors! They are such a blast!! And usually go along with all of my 'wild and crazy ideas' for photos.

Originally we had planned on taking photos of this lovely lady in a patch of sunflowers but sadly they were all wilted and just horrible looking. Guess we were too late!! So, we headed over to the Arboretum. What a beautiful park for photos!!!
Some people were setting up for a wedding. That photographer will have the opporutunity to get some amazing formals and candids too!! Not only are there flowers - but a pond and a little bridge, some wrought iron benches, etc... We spent an hour shooting there and still didn't exhaust our possibilities!! We will definitely go back for other shoots.


While we were there we were asked by someone if they did weddings there. Well, as we had seen them setting one up we were able to answer them AND give them our cards. The bride to be called us that evening very excited about our work and wants to set up a consultation. YAY! So, in the end I was very glad the sunflowers weren't looking their best. :)
