Class of 2012!

I love Senior season, and how each student brings a different feel and perspective to their session. I also love how Senior Portraiture has changed over the years, running from the muslin backdrops, black velvet drapes & pearls, and embracing individuality, creativity, and freedom.

Because if a Senior Portrait can't accurately express an individuals personality, what can? Isn't that the point? Isn't it now time for the child to grow up, know who he or she is, and step forward into a new role, and embrace what they love?

Yes, a portrait is intended to freeze time, to remind you of what you were at a certain time, where you've been, but senior portraiture is just as much about celebrating the future, and where you're going.

So to the class of 2012: Thank you for telling me what you love, thank you for teaching me, and for letting me into your world. Most of all, thank you for being you, and for not letting anyone else tell you who to be. Enjoy Senior Year! :)
