Senior Portraits....Again?

We probably aren't the first ones to do it.  I hope we won't be the last...in fact, I am hoping this will become a trend: senior portraits for college seniors.

My youngest daughter is graduating from Lindsey Wilson College in Kentucky this year.  Since she was an athlete, she had to stay for a fifth year to be able to complete her internship once she finished her athletic eligibility.  She is bursting with a kind of energy and excitement about her future that I have never seen before.  LWC has more than prepared her to face the world and become a premiere force in her field.  So why not celebrate that and show that face to the world through portraits?

It took a while to get her to actually do the session. We had been talking about it since the beginning of her senior year.  One day while she was home for spring break, the mood just struck her and off we went. Ah, the benefit of having mom as a photographer: just grab her and her camera and go! In her case, the session was really small. She is a bit of an enigma--- a huge personality trapped in a body that sometimes reverts to its 8 year old painfully shy mode.  Fortunately though, she has a great eye and she knows her own style very well, so that short session was pointed and full of just-right shots.  We had very few discards.

In the end we have this great selection of photographs, an afternoon of fun memories, and a compare and contrast album with high school to college pictures.  I hope all college seniors will begin booking these kinds of sessions!



On a side note, one aspect of the before and after is that the change in my photography is quite evident! :)
