This morning's senior session was a blast! We found some cool spots to shoot. I normally prefer to work in and around seniors' homes because that's where their stuff is, and I always find treasures out of what others might think would be trash. But Anthony wanted to be photographed at Regner Park to feature his baseball talents, so we did the whole session there. It's often a challenge to work in parks since there isn't much personality and certainly no places that would be 100% unique for that senor. But we did find a few nuggets of gold there today... like this one. It took the right lens, three flash units and the vision to put it together... oh and a handsome kid to be inspired by.

Wedding Portraits
When we photographed weddings, we bore that responsibility heavily as we knew the importance of that moment in people's lives. Unfortunately this bride's wedding photographer did not. It's a long story, and one that is all too common these days, but suffice to say I was pleased with the opportunity to create images for her one year later that she would be proud of for the rest of her life, and generations beyond.

Post Boomers, Generation X and Beyond
It's always a kick for me to photograph seniors of seniors I've photographed. I started photographing seniors in 1982, so I'm getting dangerously close to being able to do THIRD generation seniors!!!
I photographed this girl's mom in 1985. I remember it distinctly because I was trying something new for me at the time... shooting against a window. So as an homage to that, I did a similar technique for her daughter.
