Senior Portraits with Ryan

Ryan is a high school senior and aspiring photographer. One of his favorite places to shoot is Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, which is why we chose it for our destination senior photo shoot. We couldn't have asked for better weather or for a more beautiful time of the year.

As for the shoot itself

We began the shoot in the early morning to take advantage of the beautiful light. We had two wardrobe changes during the shoot which helped maximize our shooting time, but still yielded some different looks for Ryan. I also made sure to include some photos of him in his element, shooting photos with his camera and having some fun.

Posing

I like to start the shoot by suggesting some poses and giving direction until the everyone is a little bit more relaxed and engaged. From there, I always let the subject get comfortable in the pose, crack a joke or two and get some candid shots in between the more posed ones. Ryan's mom Diana was a huge help in getting him to laugh and catching some of those candid moments.

But don't take my word for it, see the photos for yourself!

Senior Portraits with Laura

Last year, Laura and I took a trip up to Rock Run in Ralston, PA for her senior photo session. Growing up in Williamsport, PA, summer wasn't summer without at least one trip up to Rock Run to hike along the boulder-strewn banks, take in the scenery, and jump in the icy-cold waters of this remote mountain stream.

Since moving to the Harrisburg area, making time to get up to Rock Run has been difficult, which is why I was so excited when Laura asked me to take her photos there. With a little planning and some good weather, we were able to tap into this beautiful fall setting and produce one of my favorite senior photo sessions to date! We completed the session on a high note by including Laura's boyfriend in some shots near the homestead in Williamsport.

As you can see below, fall is a great time to schedule your senior photos! If you would like more information on scheduling your senior photos this fall, you can contact me here.

Enjoy!
