A HUGE Thank You to my 2014 Senior Reps!

I just wanted to dedicate a blog post to my amazing 2014 Senior Reps.  They were dedicated throughout the entire school year and did a great job.  I am looking forward to meeting all of my 2015 Senior Reps... which by the way, I am changing the name to "Senior Models".  If you happen to know a 2015 high school senior in The Woodlands/Spring area, please contact me to find out the details.  Thank you again, Ashley, Karem, Izamar, Kaylee, and Morgan!

Briana | Senior Portraits

Isabella

I was inspired to do a Spring-stylized session with my daughter, after realizing it had been awhile since I had photographed her.  She loves photo shoots and taking pictures, so she was definitely excited when we picked out her flower crown and white Spring-y dress.  I pulled out my 50mm f1.4 lens that I have been neglecting ever since purchasing the 24-70 f2.8.  I love the results.  =)  Isabella had so much fun on our little photo shoot.  I love that she is at the age that photography makes her happy.  (modeling & taking pictures)

Gabby | Senior Portraits

I had a fantastic time photographing Gabby on Market Street.  She was ready to show off her amazing prom dress with professional hair and makeup.

Why I Won't be Photographing your Wedding or Baby...

I think about Photography all the time...  I am a full time photography teacher as well as a portrait photographer.  Lately I have been trying to find the common denominator with all "amazing" photographers.  You know... those ones that when you see an image by them, and you just know who took it.  Like, Ansel Adams, Sue Bryce, Amanda Holloway, Rachel VanOven, etc...  I have come to the conclusion that all of these talented photographers have one main thing in common, they specialize in ONE thing.  Ansel Adams is a legendary landscape photographer, Sue Bryce has glamour, Amanda Holloway has seniors, and Rachel VanOven is the queen of babies.  =)

I absolutely love love love every single genre of portraits that I do.  However, there is one that I am head over heels for.  Seniors.  I teach them full time Monday-Friday at my "real" job, and I love their personalities, their individualism, I love that they are on the verge of the rest of their lives.  Their senior portraits are usually the last time they will be photographed professionally until their wedding day.  It is an amazing experience being able to sit down to coffee with them and their parents and hear how they want to portray who they are in their senior portraits.  I love helping them plan their clothing choices and make up.  It is all fantastic.

It hurts me to limit my other sessions, but I have made the hard, but incredible decision to specialize in High School Senior Portraits.  I hope that limiting my range of portraits will help me focus my energy and attention on one genre, and help me hone my skills to one day become one of those "amazing" photographers that I love to stalk on Instagram and Facebook.  I will continue to do some children photography, each month on a limited basis.  I have decided at this time I will no longer take on weddings, events, or newborns.  I hope this announcement does not offend anyone, and that every one of my past and future clients can see that I must follow my passion in order to flourish.
