Blue Valley Senior Picture: She’s a Lady, She’s a Ballplayer

Olathe Photographer — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 21:08:23 +0000

To be sure, taking senior pictures brings great joy to me. High school seniors love to experiment. And I love to help them. This young Blue Valley High School Senior came to me to help her with her senior pictures. I think she liked the fact I have had a tremendous amount of sports photography experience. When you blend sports photography experience with senior portraits experience you can come up with some fun photographs.

You’ll see more from this photo shoot in the upcoming weeks. But here is one of my favorite portraits. Mixing her softball playing (she’s a catcher) days with her black dress makes for a striking image. It shows two sides to her. It’s formal…and fun.

The best part of the photograph was when she was looking at our 31″ monitor at the proofs and hearing her reaction to this senior picture. Now, she hasn’t made her final selections yet. But I suspect we’ll find this senior photo in there. Don’t you?

As you scroll through the pages of Senior Photos Kansas City you may begin to get a sense of my style. I’m not much of a fluff or overly glamorous photographer. I firmly believe that you don’t want senior pictures that will look dated five, ten and twenty years from now. You will want senior portraits that reflect who you are, or more precisely, who you were at that time of your life. This young lady is turning into a beautiful woman. She’s also an accomplished softball player. It’s all there for her to bring smile to her face when she or her parents look back on this senior picture.

Sports Senior Pictures

Olathe Photographer — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 18:29:18 +0000

Sports can be a very important part of a high school seniors life. Today we photographed a young man from Olathe South who loves baseball. We also interviewed with a Blue Valley High School senior who plays/lives softball. And photographed below is a former high school senior from Olathe South who won a scholarship playing tennis. High school seniors are busy people. And their senior pictures should reflect that.

On that day that the picture below (on the left side) was taken it was cold and very, very rainy. We went ahead with the senior photo session. A couple days later the weather was beautiful. So I went out to the tennis courts at Olathe South and took a picture. A few hours later the photos were merged and looked good. At least in my opinion!

Creating A Lifetime Photo

Olathe Photographer — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 19:40:25 +0000

Creating a photo to last a lifetime takes some planning. Or it can happen in an instance. Take the photo seen here. I was working a soccer tournament out in Germantown, MD (just outside of Washington, DC) when I captured this image. While this is not technically a senior picture, it is a photo of what we can do for you, too.

Keep in mind a couple of things when looking at the photograph. One, it was done with film. You know, the old fashioned way. Two, while the image in color is compelling it goes to amazing when isolating the young lady from her environment by leaving her in color and placing the background in black and white. Keep in mind, in the old days this took a lot more work than it does now. (The old days being the late ’90s.)

All these years later this photo (and others) are still shown on the Germantown SoccerPlex’s website. It’s a timeless image of a young lady doing what she does. A memory captured that will help her re-live that day over and over.

If you are looking for an image that will last a lifetime then you’ve come to the right place. I can do the same for you.
