Lovely Senior Portraits

I received a phone call about Senior portraits from a family in Palmer, and I went up there on
Friday afternoon, the other most beautiful day last week! I was so grateful to have such beautiful weather, and even the trees and clouds cooperated with me.

This is Amanda, and she is a lovely young lady. This family just moved here from the lower 48, and from what I can tell, they already love it here! We did outside portraits, and also studio portraits, and had a really good time. Thanks to Amanda's sister and mom, we got quite a bit of use out of the reflector so lighting was *perfect*.

I think these turned out great... Amanda and family, I hope you love your sneak-peek, 'cause I sure do... and Gina, there's a surprise for you at the end!

A senior in the rain

I've been wanting to photograph a cute teenage guy who plays a guitar for a loooong time, and the opportunity presented itself last week. We got together on Saturday night at a local park on base, because he "likes nature". LOL

Now, his guitar situation is rather unique. He is left-handed, and plays left-handed, but had purchased a right-handed guitar. He strung his guitar to work upside down, and so for you purists who might point and say, "His guitar is upside down!" trust me, he knows how to play AND sing and he's really sweet.

His friend and her mom accompanied him on our shoot and so there was a lot of laughing. We were wondering if the rain was going to let up, and it almost did, and then it started to pour again! So we were singing in the rain and getting soaked! If you look closely, you can see the rain drops on his shirt... and towards the end you can see the rain zinging past him LOL.

Justin, I hope you love your sneak-peek. You were a trooper for hanging out in the rain for so long the other day! Thanks again for choosing HBP!
