I have to go ahead and admit something right from the get-go. The very minute Hannah and her family walked into the studio I was struck with serious "hair envy". Hannah, her Mom and her sisters all have these gorgeous tresses in varying shades of brown and blonde. We fine-haired gals notice these things and turn quietly green with envy. Hannah's hair is so thick and luxuriant that we had to put the fan really close to her face and on full-blast mode to get her pretty hair to flow for the pictures! But, all hair envy aside, look how awesome they turned out:
We had a lot of fun with this guitar, too. Hannah is an aspiring player and we used that to add a little something extra to her portraits. Capturing the personal interests of my subjects is very important to me, especially in a Senior Session.
We headed out from the studio and in to the city to grab some cool urban backgrounds.
I was in such a hurry to get to our next location that I inadvertently gave Hannah's parents the slip in traffic. Embarassing! I really have to learn not to drive quite so aggressively. It's hard when I'm all full of picture ideas and the sun is setting quickly...aaaahhh!! :-D
Again with the hair! How cute is this!? I say, if you've got it...work it!! And Hannah definitely worked those gorgeous locks for this shot. I LOVE it!!
We zipped down to the railroad tracks and took some more cool images with the guitar. While we were there, a funny little incident took place. A lady passed by walking her adorable little white puppy. Something startled the pooch and he immediately slipped out of his collar and went tearing down the tracks with the poor lady in hot pursuit. The little doggie was fast, but the little lady was amazingly faster and scooped up the errant fluff ball before he could get too far!! I was looking at Hannah through my camera the whole time (not noticing anything going on around me) when suddenly this woman appears in the background of my picture tearing up the tracks after this wildly running floofy white puppy. Naturally, I took a picture of the action. Hey, don't judge me...YOU would've taken the picture, too. That's just funny stuff!
Our final stop was the cemetery (no pun intended...well, okay, maybe a little!). We took advantage of the fall colors and the final golden rays of the setting sun to create some really scrumptious images
These are just a few of the many beautiful picture we created of Hannah. All-in-all it was an eventful and successful Senior Portrait Session. Hannah was sweet and cooperative and just a pleasure to work with. I am pleased to have had the opportunity to meet her and her exceedingly nice family. Have a great Senior year, Hannah!!
