Tara and her mom had photos taken at the school, but were less than happy with the results. The biggest complaint seemed to be that they didn’t take enough time making sure that the results were going to be the best.
At TLC, we call it “cookie cutter photography,” and what that means is that everyone is treated basically the same as any other senior. Same lighting, backgrounds, an approach to their images. Quick in and out, keep the line moving. It’s not the way WE work, because we allocate plenty of time for each senior… and sometimes we go over that. 🙂
We had a great time with Tara, and her mom.
This is the more playful side… she was happy about putting her feet up on the furniture. 🙂

First, a story. You like stories, right?
Ashlyn came to one of our senior consultations, along with her mom. Most of our seniors come to the consultation to get information about our process, how we work, and to learn what makes a great portrait. We also show them around our studio so that they can get ideas for their senior portraits (or just rely on our creativity with them, of course).
Well, there was also another senior at this consultation; a young man, from a different school. He was pretty animated, and we also discussed a couple of special images he wanted to create. In all, we had great fun and everyone left looking forward to their senior portrait sessions.
What we DIDN’T know was that once Ashlyn left, she went looking to find out more about this young man (isn’t Facebook a great tool?), and was determined to find him. And she did. And now they are dating. And I think it’s just another happy thing that happens in our studio.
Please note: We aren’t starting a dating service. This was just fate at work, we think. Or one very determine young lady. 🙂
It should be said that Ashlyn, who wears glasses, was not so sure about taking them off for photos. She’s worn them and likes wearing them and prefers her face with glasses. When we convinced her to take a few without glasses, she was very pleased with the results.
She’s also quite lovely with the glasses… beautiful smile.

Originally, the focus was on her athleticism (quite the volleyball player; witnessed myself not long ago). But once we really got right down to it, Kortney wanted something more reflective of her personality.

Our Facebook followers will know Miss Naomi already, as she’s been featured there in several photos and product displays. Naomi is the daughter of a good friend of ours, Kristen, who also happens to be our graphic designer… the one that developed our new logo, and many of our upcoming marketing pieces.
Enough blabber… here’s Naomi.
You ever see someone’s face and immediately think “wow!” There are times when I’m so glad I spent so much time studying faces and lighting them. Kelsey is a prime example of the best in classic facial structure.

Sometimes people just have an eye for style.
And a cute doggie. 🙂

Oh yeah… in the midst of all these seniors, we’ve been photographing some babies (and weddings, and… well, you get the point). This little lady had quite the time, warming up almost immediately and posing at every turn.
What’s your high school hobby? Xbox? Skateboarding? Model airplanes?
How about drag racing?
That’s what Megan does on the weekends. She drag races at speeds up to 160 miles per hour, then waits her turn for the next round. And she loves it. When I asked her what she wants to do when she “grows up,” her immediate reply was “go to drag racing school.” “Why,” I asked? “So I can go faster.”
Megan is also a big fan of Playboy.
And you know me and eyes… wow.

I didn’t know what to expect with Alex… but his father’s humor really got Alex to relax and enjoy himself. We only did one outfit with Alex, but he was particularly proud of the cap & gown shot, so we’re using it for his blog post. 🙂
Funny kid… really. Her mom and sister and I laughed most of the day while taking Sam’s pictures. It was a great time.
