I recently had the opportunity to help Shannon create her unique senior portrait session. Shannon really does not like having her photographs taken but we had a blast. It must run in the family! We also had the opportunity to photograph her sister’s wedding. Shannon is part of the Class of 2010 at Eldred Central School.
It was a perfect day seeing as though it was November and we should have probably had snow on the ground! The sun was out and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. It was an on location shoot and we used her backyard in Yulan, NY as a backdrop. She lives right on a lake and we were able to get all different types of shots. Enjoy
Recently, I packed up our mobile studio and headed over to Carleigh’s house to help her create a custom portrait session unlike any she had experienced before. Carleigh is one of our Class Of 2010 Senior Ambassadors for Minisink Valley High School.
It was a perfect day for a photography session because, for once, there was no rain in the forecast! I arrived at her house at about 1:00PM and helped her choose her first outfit. Since I wanted Carleigh to be comfortable for the first set of shots, we tried the ensemble below and headed outside into the tall grass they had in the yard (and we were careful not to step in any gopher holes).
With the summer sun kicking in full blast, we soon decided to head inside and use the mobile studio for some shots. The setup was in their living room and was soooo much cooler than outside! I started with some White-On-White and Classic Black and White shots to add to her portfolio …
Because no session is complete without sunglasses, we added them to some of the high-key photos we took. With her favorite music blaring, the great photos kept coming …
For the shot below, I wanted to try something that I saw in another photographer’s portfolio (who’s name completely escapes me right now). Because Carleigh loves shoes (and what girl doesn’t??), we took what she loved and added some of her style to get this great shot!
Wanting a grungy look, we started looking around for something that would work. Because we were working in the middle of farm land and not the city, we knew this might be a difficult task. Carleigh’s house had some stairs around back that seemed to work well with the clothing she had on …
As the session neared the end, I decided to have Carleigh put on her prom dress and run through the tall grass like a little kid would on summer break. This is one of my favs!
I know that I could go on forever about how much fun Carleigh, her mom and I had on the session – but I figured it would be best to just post her slideshow instead! Carleigh is going to make a great Class Of 2010 Senior Ambassador for Minisink Valley! Enjoy!

As a follow-up to our last post about Kris, here is a cool slide show of some of our favorite images from his Senior Portrait Shoot …
Kris, a 2009 High School Senior from Goshen New York, was looking for something different for his final set of school photos. After seeing us out on the football field numerous times for Kris’ little brother, his parents gave us a call to setup a Senior Portrait Session.
Since Kris’ favorite activity is skateboarding, we headed to a secret spot that he knew about behind the school. There, we found the perfect railing and set of stairs for skateboarders. We set ourselves up and had Kris show us some of his moves. Since the sun was fading fast, we only captured a few shots … so we setup another appointment to meet Kris at a skate park in Washingtonville NY.
It was a cool, cloudy day for the skate park shoot … but there was absolutely no one around. Loretta was out photographing this session and had Kris show her some of his tricks again while she captured shots from different angles. Thankfully, Mom didn’t come to the shoot as there were a couple close calls!
Our final session with Kris was setup to capture some formal and casual shots as well as some shots with his girlfriend, Lauren. He actually got his hair cut really short for this session … so he looks like a completely different person! Here are some shots from each of the sessions … and more will be posted on our homepage and within our Senior Portrait Portfolio. Check them out!
