Acadia - HS Senior Portraits - Victor HS

Acadia is a Class of 2017 HS Model Rep. for Luke Photography from Victor HS.  Prior to her senior portrait session we discussed going outdoors in the snow during her session, and she said that she was "up for anything".  Little did I know this meant I was going to get hit with a snowball.

Cadi, as her friends call her, brought in several changes of clothes in her typical "BoHo" style, which all photographed really well.  As we usually do, we pick the backgrounds for the session based on the clothes the senior brings in.  You can't plan on pre-conceived ideas if they won't match the color or style of clothes that the subject is going to wear.  Fortunately, she brought in a royal blue blouse which really made her eyes "pop".  By using a plain white background, it lets her eyes take center stage....they are the first thing you see in those images, and it's difficult taking your eyes off of hers.

Cadi has a nice, easy smile which looks amazing in those photos, but take a look at the more serious look she shows.  Just a little bit of sass, just a little bit of confidence, just a little bit....of Cadi.

High School Senior Pictures- Payton's Outdoor Session

Payton, a senior from Victor High School, is one of the studio's Model Reps. for the Class of 2016 and wanted to incorporate ballet photos into her 2nd session at the studio.  We explored a couple of lighting scenarios in her ballet outfits, going for dramatic lighting on a black background for the red and white outfit, and a softer light and white background for the light blue outfit.

Following the dance photos, we walked outside around the Village of Fairport and picked several locations that accentuated Payton's beauty and clothing choices.  The orange tank top reminded me of the sun, and her white and blue shorts looked like the sky and clouds.

High School Senior Pictures - Victoria, Victor HS

Victoria is an amazing young woman who is heavily involved in singing, dancing and acting programs through Victor HS and other local programs.  Much to the delight of young girls everywhere, she dresses up as Cinderella and Elsa from the Disney movie "Frozen" at events all over the Northeast and gets her picture taken a bazillion times a day with little kids.

So she is obviously used to being in front of the camera, and I merely asked her to be herself, which she found quite easy to do.  She was very comfortable during the session, and we talked about her induction into the Tri-M Music Honor Society, an international music honor society for school-aged kids.  Her goal after high school is to work in the Disney college program and to eventually work at Disney World and be a role model for younger kids.  I'd say she has a pretty good start with all that.

High School Senior Pictures - Payton, Victor Class of 2016

Payton is a cheerleader and dancer from Victor HS and is a Model Rep. for the Class of 2016 from Victor HS.  Her mother teaches ballet, and that is why Payton became very accomplished at dance herself.  She added cheerleading to the mix a couple of years ago, and although she was pretty quiet and focused during her session, she describes herself as very talkative.

She is one of two girls whose sessions were shown in the studio's behind-the-scenes promotional video that was produced this year.  Her big dream is to go to nursing school and to become a neonatal nurse, but I can bet that meeting Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio probably finished a close 2nd to nursing.

Payton's next session early this summer will involve some ballet and dancing photographs, but please enjoy these from her first session.
