We had to reschedule twice due to heavy wind, but so glad everything worked out when it did. The day we finally met for Dariah’s senior portraits couldn’t have been more perfect!!

Dariah chose the Model for a Day Session Option and got several different looks throughout the session! Our first stop was a green/jungly theme with a softer look.

Finally, Dariah really wanted to incorporate her favorite hobby — yoga. We decided to try it out on the water. I have to say, I think she is super talented to pull these poses off in the swaying waves!

Many photographers have asked how I’ve shot this series of this gorgeous girl in the hat.

So, here’s a few of my favorite go-to poses for hats.

I positioned Katy with her back to the sun and positioned a reflector underneath her to create the dramatic catchlights and give it a “beauty shot” feel, as well as minimize the strong shadows that can be created by wearing a hat in full sun.

Just a couple of my favorites!

I recently attended a studio lighting seminar, where I learned a bit more about studio lighting. I can’t wait to add this option to the menu for my Senior Portrait and modeling clients!

Jen Bertrand was an incredible teacher and really was able to teach studio lighting in plain language. For me, it isn’t as easy as it looks like it should be, but I’m pretty happy with the results!
