When this Edna senior said she wanted ballet and powerlifting incorporated into her shoot, I was so excited!  I knew exactly the look I wanted to create for Ari, a combination of 'dark and light', highlights and shadows!  I absolutely love how they turned out! For Ari's powerlifting, I wanted to add something 'extra' for her Edna school colors, so we added a blue gel to the light, right there on location.  We also had plenty of time for traditional shots as well!

My creative process is a little different, I do my image reveals and product ordering in person so I am able to see first-hand their expressions when they see their images projected onto the big screen.  It truly is such an exciting experience for both the senior, their family and myself!  I can still hear Ari "omg, I love that one!  I love that one too!".  The images weren't even fully edited, and to have them love their images is what my work is all about!  That is always my end goal, so have my seniors love their entire experience from beginning to end!  

Thank you Ari and Tupa family for having me shoot this session!
