I’m really trying to stick to this Photo Tips on Tuesday commitment that I declared with my new site design a few weeks ago. I’m starting this post at 11:51pm on a Tuesday night, so though this won’t publish til the next day, I started on a Tuesday, so that counts for something, right? {And, I’m going to back post so it will LOOK like Tuesday!} And the photo tip is….senior picture posing ideas!
I had the opportunity to take some beautiful senior pictures of Kate tonight. I think I met her when she was 5, but I don’t get to see her too often, as she lives in our old neighborhood. Her mom was a great supporter of my new hobby back in the day, and let me experiment with my camera on her kids, quite a few times. I’m grateful to her for that support back then.
Kate made a guest appearance last year, though as Elsa for my daughter’s FROZEN birthday party, and I’ve been trying to help her get a blog started in the past year, too. Watch out world, Kate is coming your way! I wanted to give her a bit of a sneak peek on her senior pictures, so I chose a handful of my favorites to share here. In case anyone is confused, it’s a senior in high school pictures, also know as TEEN pictures, not of the senior citizen variety. I used to take a lot more teen portraits, but with my semi-retirement in people picture taking, I felt a tad bit rusty tonight. Luckily, Kate was VERY patient with me!
I wish this last one weren’t so small on account of being horizontal…I simply love the feel of it. Inspired by these family photos I snapped nearly 5 years ago in this same spot.
There you have it! Which image is your favorite? I kinda love the splashing water shot–anything with movement, too!
