Seniors Seniors.....more Seniors

Megan


 Megan is a senior at Winlock High School and she has actually become a pretty good friend of our family. I was honored to work on Megan's ssenior photos late this summer.  Not only is she a good student, but she participated in Volleyball, basketball and track during her junior year.
Admittedly,  I have a relatively unique way of doing senior photos.  I don't believe that you can capture a person is in one shoot, and I have found high school students to have a short attention span for a photographer like me.  To keep creativity high and fatigue low, my pricing structure includes the possibility of up to three different shoots over a span of time.  It also gives the seniors a chance to change their hair and other looks to present a different part of them.  Some might call it customer service, but it is what I do.


Megan's first shoot took place at her house.  She had a beautiful new home with a porch looking toward the Cascade Mountains to the east.  After leaving the porch, she had a grove of trees in her back yard the loaned themselves to a lot of traditional possibilities. The viewer can see that it is Megan that makes these images.
 

 Megan has also requested her second shoot on a swinging tire from an old big leaf maple.  Well she wasn't that specific, but the photographer can see what she is thinking.  So far, no luck in finding such a scene.

Megan has requested that at least one of her shoots be in the autumn leaves so her final shoot may not occur until late-October.  If you are thinking about someone to do your senior portraits, take a look at the collection at GAP Photography.  Heed this warning, I will ask you what you want and expect an answer.  We work as a creative team!
