Last week I had the opportunity to work with Ben on his senior photos.  Ben is a lot like me, he doesn't want to be in front of the camera too long.  Mostly the reason I spend so much time behind it.  I don't mind having my picture taken, but not on an all-about me photo shoot complete with posing and agonizing over getting every shot spot-on perfect....great thing for Ben, that's not how we work.  We go out find some awesome locations and take some fun natural looking shots.  As you can see from Ben's shots below we were all over the place.  I think Ben ended up having some fun on the shoot and I think the results really reflect his personality.  Below are just a few of our favorites.  Congratulations Ben!

This past Thursday Ashley and I had the opportunity to photograph senior photos for Krystin.  We have been incredibly lucky with seniors this year.  I think we may have tapped into some local modeling talent because they have been awesome to photograph.  Krystin did a great job throughout the photo shoot and her photos really show it.  She was interactive and photogenic.  She was a great poser and made things flow very smoothly.  We did just a few photos indoors and headed outside.  We took some shots downtown in the court avenue area and then took a few out at Gray's Lake.  Below are just a few of our favorites.  Congratulations Krystin!

On Tuesday Ashley and I photographed senior photos for Rachel.  Rachel is a senior at Johnston High School.  We took just a few studio shoots and got outside quickly.  Outside photos are sooo much better than studio stuff.  We headed downtown and took some shots in the court avenue area.  We then headed out to Saylorville and made sure to get some shots at the lake.  Rachel was awesome to work with and the photos certainly reflect her fun attitude!  Mom and Sister even jumped in for a few shots.  We had a great time...below are just a few of our favorites.  Congratulations Rachel!

Last Saturday I photographed 2009 senior Nicole.  Nicole was a lot of fun.  Some people you photograph are real naturals and others take some coaching.  Nicole was quite the natural, and had a great natural smile.  We headed outside and took some shots near the river downtown.  The wind was quite fierce and gave actual meaning to "my frozen moment."  Congratulations Nicole!
