I'm pretty sure I don't have enough good things to say about McKenzie... Well for one she's my cousin, (and that makes her pretty awesome, right? :) ) and she wanted me to shoot her senior pictures when we were at the lake for our family reunion. I was thrilled! The lake is tucked full with beautiful places to shoot. We scouted locations on Tuesday morning, but we decided to go out to the closest town- still a good 30 minutes away- to search for old buildings and neat places. We went to Ft. Donaldson, and found the gorgeous field and other backdrops. On our way back, we took a wrong turn, got pretty lost, but found the most gorgeous scene- wildflowers and trees and wild nature area. We were finally ready to head back as the sun was sinking, and right before we were home we stopped at a spot we had picked out earlier that day, wooden steps built into a hillside covered with purple wildflowers. It was perfect. And that was just day 1. So we were thrilled with our shooting and our location finds, but McKenzie had more outfits to go through, and I had more places I wanted to shoot! So the best part about vacation is staying 30 feet from one another and shooting again the next night! McKenzie was amazing at every pose I gave her! She could totally be a model. I had SO much fun shooting these and editing them too! Thank you so much for letting me shoot your senior pictures, McKenzie! Have a great senior year. :)

I think the second shoot was even more amazing then the first. (http://brianaowenphotography.weebly.com/1/post/2012/11/ambers-senior-summer-shoot.html If you don't know about Amber's 1st shoot!)
The light was gorgeous, the weather was perfect, and Amber's outfits were just so fall! Loved it all. I love shooting at places my clients pick. I love how much more personal and special it makes the whole shoot. Amber, you picked the perfect spot! I was beyond excited when Amber asked me to do her senior pictures and even more excited when she said she wanted to get in on the 4 seasons special!
I love the idea of getting to come back together and shoot 4 times during the course of your senior year. I created this for a couple of reasons. For one, it's hard to decide when you want to have your senior pictures made! Each season has something special to it. Another thing is having too many outfits to choose from! I love that with the seasons you get to have 8-10 different outfits with different looks for each season. Love the versatility. And another reason is how much we all change within the course of a year. Maybe we've lost braces and weight or changed our hair cut, but you get to see that progression over the course of your senior year. So fun. Back to Amber! Ok, Amber is seriously one of the sweetest, kindest people I know. We've become good friends from shooting together often! She's super stylish and gorgeous, so gorgeous shots came so easily! Here's her summer debut. I'm trying something new!! In order to get more people to come check out my website, I'm only posting a few pictures to my facebook. The rest will be here in my blog where I can tell the story of the day! I may or may not always do it this way, but I'm going to try it. :)
Brooklyn found me through another senior's pictures that I took. She messaged me, interested in having her own photos done! We set the date and time and met up at Montgomery Bell. Brooklyn brought along her sweet Dotson named Daisy May. How cute is that?! As we were shooting, an older couple came walking by with their dogs, and one was a Dotson colored just like Daisy. The lady called to her dog, and we found out the dog's name was the same exact thing! 2 Daisy Mays with 2 nearly identical Dotsons. It was so funny! Brooklyn is very sweet and beautiful. She's funny and willing to try anything. We had a great time at our shoot because she wasn't afraid to get dirty! She laid on the ground and anything else I wanted. She was so great to work with! Now...for the pictures! Enjoy and please leave me a comment!! |
