This afternoon I had a Senior Portrait Photography Session with Kelsey, from the Johnsburg High School in McHenry Illinois. We met at Marimac Park in Vernon Hills Illinois, just south of Deer Path Park. I really love doing senior portraits in this outdoor area because there is a wide array of trees, ponds, waterfalls, grass, rocks, and other natural and manmade creations. More specifically, outdoor portrait sessions are always preferred to indoor studio photography. This is mainly due to the freedom of using the environment to our advantage for more creative poses and adventurous shots. And, it is always a good laugh for my clients to see me delicately balance on a moving rock while I take “just one more”.  At least someone is laughing here!
 
We started today’s portrait session along the front trail with a few basic photos under the trees and near the giant water fountain. This reaffirmed that spring was here, since we had a lovely 80 degree day full of sunshine. No better way to spend the afternoon, IMHO. Our next stop was near the rock wall by the gazebo, where Kelsey happily climbed up top of for a few leisurely “Huckleberry Finn” photos. Then we did some modern and edgy against the wall.
 
Next, we stopped along at the bridge for a few poses near the bridge and the trees and the small waterfall. Finally, we rested a moment and poses for some “Garden” photos surrounded by many great oaks. Below are a few of the best images from the session. Kelsey was awesome to work with! She was full of smiles and had an adventurous heart; she tried every formal and silly pose without hesitation. I love that kind of spirit and attitude, makes my job even more fantastic!
 
Best of luck with your next year of school Kelsey! 

 

 

Portrait Photography Lakewood Crystal Lake Illinois

Portrait Photography for Lakewood Crystal Lake Illinois area came to the home of one of our clients this March Monday afternoon. This image below was captured at the home of one of our newest clients. This is what is considered a headshot. Please see the price list to the right for more information. In total the session took only about 30 minutes and the images were ready and posted within 24 hours. We used all natural light and front flashed to add additional lighting. Using a bounce light would have been ideal, but there was not enough sun light to allow a bounce board. Overall the images were highly positive.
