Seniors

I had the opportunity to photograph Campbell’s Senior Session in October. He is a senior at Oberlin High School and is in their Marching Band!

Alyssa is amazing. She is this pint-sized girl who just believes in herself and it really shines through. She is gorgeous, no doubt, but she has a whole lot more going for her that looks alone. I had a great time getting to know her and capturing some incredible images of this important time in her life. Alyssa wanted to start her session at Cascade Park in Elyria because it holds a special place in her heart because it has been an important place for her family for years. We found all kinds of great spots there and then headed back to my studio. On the way back to town, I suggested we stop in a field and do some softball shots.

Sarah is so cute! She is just super bubbly and easy-going. We wanted her senior session to capture her spirit and we started with hair and makeup with Marissa at Adeva Salon and Spa in Oberlin and went super natural – like Sarah.

Rachel is a recent graduate of Oberlin College and she is leaving town soon to move off into the world. She contacted me because she had never had a senior portrait taken in highschool because her choices had been the traditional cheesy background shots that you see at the generic photography studios. That hadn’t appealed to her at all. But Rachel is smart enough to realize how important it is to document yourself at a young age and what better way than to commemorate the important moment of graduating from college.

So, we started out in my studio and took advantage of my fun fabric selection as backdrops, then we headed out into nature to find some cool locations. We selected an amazing abandoned farm, a beautiful field and a cool fence.
I love offering a variety of images for my seniors and their families to choose from. Everyone is happy and it is super fun as well.

I was happy to create images of Hannah. She is fun and free-spirited and has a great sense of style. She wanted something classic, but was willing to play around with some of my ideas. I think we hit it out of the park. The images I got in my studio (which was my first official session in my new space, btw) are gorgeous and remind me of Brigette Bardot on the one hand, and Doris Day on the other. Just classy and gorgeous.

I had the pleasure of capturing Jackie’s Senior Session today. Jackie is a sweet girl. She loves to read and to sing and we tried to incorporate those elements into our photo shoot.

Hannah was referred to me through Mia. She is a gorgeous girl and has a great sense of self. She and her mom were up for anything and we chose a variety of locations around Oberlin.

I met Mia at a cookout shortly after we moved back to Oberlin. Her neighbor (the sweetest woman on the planet) had adopted us since we were new in town and wanted us to meet some folks.
