Mandy: Senior Portraits

Mandy is a friend of a friend. Actually, she's a friend of my previous senior, Elizabeth. Just like Elizabeth, Mandy and her family also go to my church. I was very delighted when Mandy's mom asked me to take her senior pictures.

We started at Mandy's home in Hagerstown, then visited the Antietam Recreational Center (after getting special permission to be on the property after hours), and finished up at Mandy's cousin's willow tree. We had perfect weather - sunshine and not-so-hot temperatures. Combine that with Mandy's gorgeous blonde hair, beautiful blue eyes, and piercing look, and we've got some very nice senior portraits.

In no particular order...



The Antietam Rec Center has got a great "old town" set-up. I love this shot we got of Mandy in front of the "General Store" at the old town.

This picture became an instant favorite of Mandy and her Mom. It's definitely one of my favorites, too! Check out that awesome smile!


After going through all 400+ images that we took during the session, I started realizing that Mandy totally looks like Bonnie Hunt! Especially here....

The willow tree created such a dramatic and unique setting...

Here's a semi-piercing look from Mandy...


Beautiful, strong, piercing look. And Mandy does it naturally. Love it!

I think this is my favorite. Thanks for laying in and amongst the logs, Mandy!


Mandy and her two dogs.

Thanks for a great session, Mandy! The pictures turned out beautifully! Good luck in your senior year!

Elizabeth: Sneak Peek

Despite the pouring down rain yesterday, I was able to take Elizabeth's senior pictures. We had lots planned for the session and spent about three hours together! Beautiful light, bright colors, fun props, awesome locations, and a trooper of a model, I just couldn't stop! I was so excited to start sifting through the pictures so I prepared some this morning. Here's a sneak peek:


We totally disregarded a fence barrier for this shot. The field was soooo gorgeous and Elizabeth was soooo up for breaking the rules a bit.



We couldn't get over how gorgeous this spot was at Elizabeth's school. Mossy green goodness! I love the black and white version. :)
