Madalyn ~ Featured Senior {Mid Michigan Senior Photographer}

Meet beautiful Madalyn!!

Madalyn came all the way from Airport High School to have me capture this special time in her life.  I am always beyond honored when seniors travel so far to have me take their senior pics....but with that also comes a bit of pressure...lol.  Madalyn has family close by so her and her mom planned to stay for a weekend when they came for her senior pics.  There first trip here ended up being a rainy weekend...I mean not 1 clear day of good weather...and of course the rain was NOT in the forecast!  So sadly...we had no choice but to reschedule.  Once again they made the long trip here and no sooner is she in my studio and we are picking out her clothes and it starts down pouring...again and again this was NOT in the forecast. Thankfully this time it passed quick and the rest of the day was happy rain free shooting!   Madalyn loves clothes and fashion so it was really fun picking out her clothes...however narrowing down the outfits was a challenge because she brought so much amazing stuff!

I knew from talking to her this first location would be perfect for her! I love this shot!

 

 

A little fun with some old records :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Had to add this "OUT TAKE" from the session. Mom was so kind to stand behind and hold the door for this :)

 



This is one of my absolute faves!!  Love it when these little wildflowers bloom. Shortly after this session though, they mowed them all down :(

till next time

Featured Senior ~ Kara {Mid Michigan Senior Photographer}

Next up is Kara from Fowler High School. Kara met up with me here in Alma and we did some at my loft and also made our way to the Saravilla Bed and Breakfast. If you have not ever been there... you need to check it out. Very beautiful!!

I was thrilled that they selected this first photo as one of thier faves. Sometimes when I take shots like this I know the chances of them being selected are a bit more slim but I loved it and was hoping they did too. It was one of their faves. I just love that it's a "moment", nothing posed about it, I just caught her looking at something.

This next one is my very fave of the whole session. Love it so much!

This one is from my loft, love the old doors :)

And last another of their faves...

Till next time...

Featured Senior ~ Alyssa ~ AHS {Mid Michigan Senior Photographer}

Alyssa is so beautiful yet as you can see from that volleyball pic you probably aren't going to want to be on the receiving end of that coming at ya :) I love that volleyball photo, turned out perfect!

But this first one... absolutely love! The little pop of yellow and her beauty just gorg!

Alyssa plays Varsity Volleyball for Alma High School.

Love this one too... oh who am I kidding, I love them all ;)

We ended the session at the wheat field. Actually was able to do quite a few senior sessions this year in the wheat...

And last, I am sharing a sample 10x20 storyboard I did of her session because it's one of my faves of the year. I love how the background photo works perfect in this set.
