What a sureal moment...when you take your own son's senior pictures. Here's a sneak peak at the first shoot for Danny; more to come when I am able to talk him into going back outside (the mosquitos were awful that night). Lots of locations I still want to explore and he's normally a willing subject. I also want to get studio shots of him with all his hockey gear (have this vision of an intense black & white of his eyes through his goalie mask). Let's hope my skills match my expectations (wink wink...I'm sure I can pull this off).
This is probably the most emotional shoot I will have all year...this and his graduation day. Seems just like yesterday that I was taking pictures of him getting on the kindergarten bus. Life presents opportunities to us for a reason. My photography business has continued to increase through the word-of-mouth of my wonderful clients just as my free time increases with Danny's independence. By this time next year he'll be in college and I'll be an empty-nester. But until then...I'm going to enjoy every single day that I still have him with me at home. Watch for lots of pictures of Danny this year...need to take'em now while I still have the opportunity. Enjoy!
And the season has begun...I'm deep into doing Senior shoots and finally completed Korey's over the weekend (after a couple of sneak peaks on FB). Korey is a long-time friend of my son (Danny) through hockey. I have always enjoyed doing senior shoots. Those who know me well know that I truly enjoy working with teens as they are so full of energy and creativity (they are also very opinionated with regards to their "style" and expectations). Senior pictures are not the same today as they were 25 years ago; gone is the formality and stuffiness of the senior pictures of my era. It's not uncommon for a senior to have a multitude of clothing and location changes. It's an opportunity for the senior to be "Prince" or "Princess" for the day and to truly be themselves. Korey deserves a badge of honor for putting up with me for two separate shoots (outside and in studio). Just had to test out all the new locations & photog opportunities around the new area and to test the lighting within the studio. Thanks, Korey, for a wonderful first shoot of the season! Hope you enjoy your pictures.
