Matt from Quincy

I had a great time photographing Matt. He's a senior at Lexington Christian Academy. He's a star basketball player being sought after by many college coaches. He's now looking at offers from over 45 schools! Being the sports fan that I am, I could have listened for hours to his stories about all the championships he's won. But I did have take some pictures as his yearbook picture is due, well, now. Here's a sampling of Matt's senior portraits:
Lately the skies have been spectacular just after sunset - you can see the colors reflecting in the water.

Brittany from Plymouth South

It was a beautiful evening at the beach when I photographed Brittany last week for her senior portraits. Why can't the nice weather last into the weekend? Anyway Brittany is enrolled in the CAD program at PSHS in hopes of someday being an architect. But she's not so sure...she says CAD is hard...but CAD is her favorite class at school. I kind of look at photography like that...it's hard - so many things to know and pay attention to - lighting, posing, making sure the camera is set correctly, making sure I don't trip over rocks or my camera bag...but I love it so it hardly feels like work.
Anyway Brittany has lovely blue-green eyes - well they change color to match her surroundings or outfit. Here's her sneak peek:
Here's some more of my playing around...I really liked the graphic element of the shadows behind her, and decided it needed a black&white-like effect.

Ali from Bourne

Ali came to Scusset Beach for her senior portraits. She goes to Bourne High School. It was a little bit windy - in these cases I end up taking a lot of images to make sure hair looks good.

I do still like the wind-blown look, though..

Erin from Stoughton

Here's a sneek peak at Erin from Stoughton who came down here for beach pictures. After graduating from Stoughton High, she'll be going to BU study Broadcast Journalism. A good choice for her...she's outgoing, and the camera loves her!
I bought a new program for Photoshop and I've been playing with it...I like what it does to this wall.
Having some fun....

Hilary from Plymouth

Hilary is a senior at Sacred Heart. She loves to dance - her favorite is ballet. Her session was on Labor Day weekend...and I just so happend to have photographed her stepbrother Jay last year on Labor Day weekend, too. Here's a sneak peek at her session:

Alexandra from Scituate

Alex came down with her mom and sister for her senior portraits. They used to live in the S. Plymouth area until a couple of years ago. It was just a little breezy, and the clouds started to filter in creating my favorite lighting conditions.
After the perfect lighting conditions, comes a perfect sunset!

Nicole from Uxbridge

Nicole, a cheerleader at "BVT" came down from Uxbridge...well they first had to stop in Newton I think? Well it was a long trip for her but I'm hoping she thinks it was worth it!
Here's her sneak peek:

Cody - First early AM session of the season!

Cody is a senior at Plymouth South and she actually wanted to do a sunrise session! She had come along last year on her sister Amanda's early-morning session and decided she was up for the challenge too. Being August it wasn't too cold, but it was a bit windy. We managed to get onto the beach before the sun rose to take advantage of that 'sweet' light (though since it was slightly cloudy, we had to add a bit of flash):
Then the sun came up ...
And look at the beautiful sunlight on Cody - I can actually see the sunrise in her eyes when I zoom in!
Then we headed away from the beach - and the wind - to finish up her session.

Brendan's from Plymouth South too!

Here's another repeat customer - Brendan is Brad's brother who I also photographed last year. Brendan is a basketball player at South. I'm really excited to photograph a b-ball game or two at South this year!



I'm always honored to get calls from families of past seniors to photograph the brother or sister...or even cousins of a past senior. This seems to have been the week for it - it started with Kelsey and now Brendan and there's actually a couple more siblings that I'll be posting soon!

Kelsey from Plymouth South

Kelsey is a cheerleader at Plymouth South - and she loves science - especially biology. I also photographed her sister Shea last year. I see a bit of a resemblance...

Lan from Auburn

Lan was a lot of fun to photograph! She has a natural ability to 'pose' herself. And would you believe that she plays ice hockey!?! She says she's 'very competitive'. Don't mess with Lan! Here's her sneek peak....
