That’s the first thought that came to my mind when I took at look at her pictures on my montior…something very powerful and determined in her eyes. Our session was one of the very, windy nights — and we did get that “wind in your hair” look!! She was so much fun, and I loved hearing about her college plan for next year! You’re looking at a D-1 Lax Goalie!!!!
Like many High School Seniors in the Albany, NY area – she needed to have the formal black drape and gray background for the yearbook. Took a bit of manuvering, but think we came up with something that worked! I guess I can kind of understand the simple look of everyone in the same thing…but when I think of what a Senior’s last year of High School is —- uniformed totally goes against the grain for me!
That’s such a pivital time for teens – you’re coming into your own – developing your confidence in who you are, what your style is etc. I truely believe that is something that should be embraced and celebrated!
So, for all you HS Seniors out there – or families of one 🙂 I strongly urge you to at least consider having custom photos taken. And if your yearbook committee is that “rigid” then I revert back to my favorite saying…
“LET YOUR YEARBOOK PICTURE BE A YEARBOOK PICTURE – LET YOUR SENIOR PORTRAITS BE YOU…”
There’s no reason why parents have to hang such a commercial shot up, and no reason these teens need to share those with their friends. Give me a call — I’d love to shoot your portraits, and I can guarantee you’ll feel more like yourself, love your photos, and be able to look back in 20 years and remember who you were during this time of your life!
