Formal Senior Portraits

Norris Carden — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 03:30:37 +0000

Even though most schools have a contract photographer who takes formal yearbook pictures, I am often asked to create formal portraits as well. Some schools even allow my images to be included in their yearbook.

For a limited time, I’m waiving the creation fee for all formal senior portrait sessions. Don’t even bring your checkbook. If you don’t like my formal portraits better than the school photographer’s, there’s no commitment to buy anything.

Contact me ASAP to schedule your 30 minute formal senior portrait session!

Congratulations Katye Brock!

Gina and I recently created some new images for her performance coaching web site. Many of her clients don’t meet her face to face very often, so it is necessary for us to show that Gina is easygoing and approachable (…and she really is). Here’s one of my favorites.

The first game at the new Tullahoma High School stadium is tonight. This week’s pic is from the first senior shoot there.

Demonstrating a pose

One of the really fun things about creating images on location is finding all sorts of really cool and different spots to shoot. Sometimes it’s obvious how to place and pose a subject in a certain spot. Sometimes it’s not. It’s not uncommon for me to jump in and demonstrate.

Recently I was shooting on a farm and wanted to use a great looking hay barn. So to demonstrate just how I was envisioning the image, I climbed up and took the pose. Amanda, my assistant for the day, took a shot.

Then Rosalyn made it look good.

Great images aren’t just for h.s. seniors! Lindsey is a sophomore at Tullahoma High School.

The location is near Ledford Mill between Tullahoma and Shelbyville in Metropolitan Lynchburg, Tennessee. The prom dress was provided by Pearls and Pinstripes in downtown Tullahoma.
