My senior portrait involved a piece of scalloped velvet that was clamped\u00a0on around my\u00a0shoulders, and a single unretouched studio portrait–location shooting was not on anybody’s radar back in 1995. \u00a0Check out my totally 90s senior portrait here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Thank goodness that has changed (unlike my haircut, which is quite similar), as evidenced by these location shots of the gorgeous Tasha M below. \u00a0My job in these shots was to capture Tasha’s essence– she’s a beautiful, easygoing, fun, kind and natural young woman–and also capture her confidence\u00a0and elegant maturity.<\/p>\n

Senior portraits are a time to showcase talents and personality! \u00a0Tasha is passionate about dance, and with very little direction from me, she\u00a0confidently danced and leapt around\u00a0the field, creating a series of rhythmic and lyrical\u00a0shapes for me to photograph, mingled with the\u00a0light and colors of the summer\u00a0setting. \u00a0I always encourage seniors to schedule their session for summer (beautiful sunsets and summer clothes seem to be popular with this age group),\u00a0so March-April of Junior is the ideal time to book.<\/p>\n

While this white dress on Tasha’s beautiful skin was amazing, she\u00a0also wanted to experiment with having her wear a vivid print. \u00a0You guessed it–also amazing.<\/p>\n

I’ve written on this blog how nice\u00a0it is to fold family and cultural\u00a0traditions\u00a0into family portraits, and this group shot of the women in\u00a0Tasha’s\u00a0life\u00a0is a beautiful\u00a0example of that. Originally from Africa and world travelers all, Mom, Grandma and older\u00a0sister–her\u00a0greatest role models and mentors–graciously\u00a0agreed to pose for a group photo. \u00a0(They came along as her cheerleaders, but were not expecting to be photographed that day!)<\/p>\n

I wish Tasha the best\u00a0as she goes on to college with the goal of studying to become an MD.<\/p>\n
