Alice : Senior Portraits

Even when she was little, Alice has always been a fun kid to be around... nice to all people, a lover of animals, and incredibly smart. Now a high school senior, Alice is anticipating graduation, deciding which college to attend, and ready to embark on the next chapter of her life! I have no doubt that Alice will be successful at anything she puts her mind to accomplish! I was honored to photograph her senior portraits.
While most seniors love doing their sessions somewhere urban or funky, Alice chose to do her session at her home and personalize her session. (I looooove when clients do this.) Her father is an amazing horticulturist, and their backyard is beyond beautiful with trees and flowering plants. A truly perfect backdrop to Alice's natural beauty!

Becky: Class of 2010

In November, I was up in Atlanta for Thanksgiving and had an opportunity to shoot Becky's senior portraits. Becky and I have known one another for a while (almost 10 years, in fact)... she happens to be my sister-in-law. :) I was so excited when she finally got old enough to graduate, because I knew she'd come calling for portraits. We had a blast walking around downtown Stone Mountain together. Here are some of my favorites from our session together.

He did it...

... he graduated high school. I'm officially old. Officially old because I remember when he was born. I heard his first scream as he entered the world. I remember his phases growing up... Barney, the Power Rangers, his fascination with the Buffalo Bills NFL football team, his love of Japanese animation. And now he's an adult. Wow.

This weekend I took a trip up to Atlanta for his high school graduation. The event was at the hockey arena where the Atlanta Gladiators play. 700 graduates. Amazing. The entire bottom level seating was almost full. And the graduation itself was actually interesting! Amazing.

As the official photographer for the family (hahaha) I obviously brought my camera to capture Brian's big day. Here are my favorites from the collection... not only of the actual graduation, but the obligatory family pictures too. Goodness, I sound like a wedding photographer. :)













I managed to get a few portraits after his graduation party. I'm amazed that he actually cooperated. Usually he runs when I put my camera to my face... that, or gives me a funny face.
