2014 Allen High School Senior Portraits: Allison

A few nights ago, I photographed Allison at several locations around Allen. Allison will be graduating next month from Allen High School, my own alma mater. Heading off to Stephen F. Austin to study elementary education in the Fall, this beautiful girl will no doubt make a fantastic teacher. I'm always excited to photograph high school seniors. They're just on the cusp of so many exciting changes in their lives, and it's a perfect time to document who they are right now, before they head out on their own. Best of luck with everything, Allison! You'll go far.

Dallas Lutheran School Senior Portraits: Lara

Yesterday, I got to run around among all the Spring flowers with this gorgeous girl. She's graduating in about two months, making it a great time to knock out those senior portraits to include in graduation announcements. Here's a little look at Lara's portraits!

UNT Graduation Photos: Jared & Kristi

Tonight, I met up with Jared and Kristi for a little combo session to capture some new portraits of the two of them, but mostly in honor of Jared's upcoming graduation from the University of North Texas. Way to go Jared! We had fun romping around the Denton square, Fry Street and the UNT campus. Fun fact: these two were my first portrait clients ever when I started my business. I shot their engagement portraits almost four years ago. Definitely time for some updated photos!

Natasha's LSU College Graduation Portraits in Allen, Texas

Last month, I had a fun time photographing the beautiful Miss Natasha whom I've known since Middle School in our Great Dallas Youth Orchestra days. She's graduating from Louisiana State University this semester, and wanted some new portraits to include in her graduation announcements. I know that's the norm in this area for high school graduates, but what a great idea for college too! Plus it's always great to get beautiful portraits made of yourself. I know I need some new ones too!

Garret's Wakeland High School Senior Portraits

Last month, I photographed Garret's high school senior portraits for his graduation announcements. We met up at sunrise at the square in downtown McKinney, and the weather couldn't have possibly been any more cooperative for an outdoor shoot. It was perfect! Graduating from Wakeland High School in Frisco this month, he's heading off to Texas Tech in the Fall to study engineering. Congrats on your graduation, Garret, and the best of luck as you head off for the next big adventure: College!

Natasha's College Senior Portraits in Allen, Texas

Yesterday, I met up with Natasha, her mom, and one of her good friends here in Allen to shoot some portraits for her college graduation announcements (and because everyone need pretty photos of themselves, am I right?). Natasha and I have known each other since we were about 12 and 13. We played violin together in the Greater Dallas Youth Orchestra downtown. I can't recall if we were stand partners or what exactly made us gravitate toward one another, but we did, and soon started carpooling every week too. I quit that orchestra after 9th grade, but I talked her into coming up to Cape Breton to take fiddle and step dancing lessons with me one summer (we were fortunate kids to have such an awesome experience in such a beautiful place). Facebook has been our only means of communication since then, so it was wonderful to see her again in person!

Since facebook facilitates a little healthy stalking, we knew in general terms what the other had been up to, but it was great to catch up. We both started out at small private liberal arts schools before making the move to state schools, and she'll be graduating from LSU here in about a month. Proud of you, lady! I know you'll go far.

The weather was trying to be uncooperative for our "sunrise" shoot, but we dodged the raindrops, and the overcast skies made for some beautiful diffused light. Enjoy these first few photos!
