Fall is the time for Senior Portraits and I really look forward to it. It's an opportunity for me to meet interesting young people and make a beautiful record of them at a vital time in their life. I see portrait photography as a collaboration between myself and the subject. I am very open to ideas as far as location, clothing and special interests the student might have. I want the student's personality to shine brightly through and our time together to be relaxed and fun.
I wanted to show you Rachelle's senior portrait because I think it showcases many things. I love how 3-dimensional these pictures are of her personality, and how they represent an honest and vibrant portrait of a wonderful young woman. The setting is also spectacular. Humboldt County is not lacking for great outdoor locations.
