Rachel. 2011 Senior.

This gorgeous young lady contacted me in the Spring of her Senior year.  I was honored to spend an afternoon with Rachel and capture a few memories for her before she starts a new chapter in her life.

I love when the personality of the Seniors really show through their clothing, prop, and location choices.  Best luck in the future, Rachel!

Chris. 2011 Willard Senior. {Springfield Senior Photographer}

Chris is a 2011 Senior at Willard High School.  He participated in JROTC for four years so we wanted to be sure and feature his uniform in his pictures.  A rare opportunity occurred at his session when the Japanese Stroll Gardens were open and free to use.  Great fun for me and lots of photo ops for him.

Digital Files now available on CD

After much thought, Captured by Sarah Photography is now offering CDs featuring digital files of the images featured in each gallery.  This is a professionally prepared CD.  The CD files will print in full resolution up to 11×14 images and a photographer’s release will be given so that you can have them printed.  These files are perfect for sharing in e-mails, on social networking sites such as Facebook, or to include in family newsletters or such.  When purchasing a CD, you’ll also know that you will have the images on file forever.  Perhaps five years from now you decide to work on a scrapbook or slide show, you’ll have the images stored and ready to go.  The cost will be

1 image $18.00
4 images $40.00

Eric ’10 Senior {Fair Grove Senior Photographer}

It’s always excitingwhen I’m contacted by new clients whom have been referred by former clients.  So was the case with Eric, a 2010 Senior at Fair Grove High School.  As with many Senior guys, Eric was not thrilled about his photo session but I think we made it work!  It was a new challenge for me when he decided to include his motorcyle but I love the results and I think they’re even better in black&white.

 

One of the reasons I love Senior photography is that it provides great opportunities to showcase young adults’ personalities, talents, and interests.  If your Senior photography session is still ahead of you, begin thinking now how you can highlight your personality, hobbies, and interests.

Drew ’10 Senior {Willard Senior Photographer}

There for awhile my calendar was full with Senior appointments so, introducing our next Willard 2010 Senior guy, Drew.  Drew is involved in Track and Baseball and many other things I’m sure.  I am thinking that American Eagle is wishing they could borrow a few of these images.

   

Reid ’10 Senior {Willard Senior Photographer}

I was honored to be able to capture a few photographs for Reid and his family.  Reid is a 2010 Senior at Willard High School.  Reid’s session included traditional Senior guy photographs as well as a few to show a more natural or “real” side of his personality.

 

Reid-Thanks for all the great smiles!  Hope I at least kept the torture to a minimum.

Introducing New Product {Springfield Area Senior Photographer}

Introducing the PicWithinPic design item now available and to be featured in future galleries.  This collage-type item combines two or more photographs in a creative way and can be personalized. 

Thanks for posing McKenzie, 2010 Willard Senior.

McKenzie ’10 Senior {Willard Senior Photographer}

I met McKenzie, and her crew, downtown for an Urban Senior session and it just all worked for us.  With her fab style choices, great weather and perfect lighting, we were able to capture a massive number of fabulous shots

I love McKenzie’s confidence and that she knows she wants to go into nursing in the future and is already working toward that goal.

During this session, I tried a few new locations which is always exciting for me.  It’s even better when they work!  Although, I’m sure I’ll be visiting some of these spots again, McKenzie had the privilege of being the first of my clients photographed at the locations featured below.

lovely Lindsay, Class of ’09

When I arrived at the park in Bolivar for this Class of 2009 Senior Session, I was greeted by a gorgeous young lady, her boy friend (a wonderfully willing assistant), and fabulous weather and lighting conditions.  It doesn’t get much better than a warm and sunny, 55 degrees in November.  So, a special sneak peek for Lindsay while she waits for the rest of her photographs.  I had a hard time deciding between my favorites so I’ll share my top picks.

Lindsay has very model-like features and she generally enjoys a more serious look.  However, we did also capture a few more casual poses.

A special thanks to all my Class of ’08 &’09 Seniors and their familes who continue to share my work with others.  When I first began shooting Seniors, I was anxious as it takes a different kind of talent and attitude than photographing younger children.  However, now I absolutely love getting to know these young adults at such an exciting time in their lives and trying to match their photographs to their personalities and interests.

Ashley, Senior ’09

Ashley called early last week and I am so glad we were able to squeeze in an urban Senior ’09 session.  Usually, by this point in the year the weather for outdoor sessions is beginning to get chancy but not this year.  We had a fantastic time exploring locations around the Square in center Springfield.  The area is definetly prime for seniors desiring a variety of looks with little travel.

There are many gorgeous photographs from Ashley’s session.  I realized that what I loved the most about them was the expression in her eyes.  Whether she is smiling or not, the sparkle always shows in her eyes.

When I began photographing Seniors from the Class of 2008, I had no idea how much I would love it.  With last year’s graduating class and again this year, their excitement is contagious.  Although they are a little apprehensive about the unknown that is ahead, they are also ambitious and ready for the challenge. 

Best of luck in the future, Ashley and hopefully the rest of your pictures will be ready for you to view within the week.

Be sure to stop by the Client Galleries, including the Ashley Snr ’09 gallery, to see all the photographs from each session.
