Mattie | Madison, Wisconsin, Senior Portrait Session

I often get asked, "besides weddings, what do you like to shoot?" The answer? Senior portraits!! That's why you'll notice a mix of wedding, engagement, and senior portraits in my portfolio. I should probably create a different website just for seniors, but I'm all about simplifying my life right now ;)

Senior portrait sessions are so much fun for me because it's a time dedicated to bringing out each person's personality and interest through portraits. If I have extra time some day (haha sorry I usually don't have that much free time) I'll scan some of my prints from my senior portraits and share them with you, but for now you'll just have to see some of Mattie's awesome session last summer!

Mattie is a super busy senior this year with basketball and softball, but she also loves the water so of course we just had to go in the lake for a bit! Why not?! I love the variety of locations we used in downtown Madison and just how effortless is was to photograph Mattie!

Senior Session: Madison, WI

Senior portrait sessions are a blast! It's a chance for a high school senior to really express who they are and their interests, and I like to think of them as a lifestyle or editorial session. I want to make each high school senior feel like they have been picked to be featured in a national magazine and this is their photoshoot to tell their story.

When I was going into my senior year of high school, I got the traditional studio portraits taken, and then some with my horse (no, sadly he didn't come to the studio with me. He is though one of the most photogenic horses I've seen! He was definitely meant to be owned by a photographer) but I wish we could have gone to more unique locations or made more of a story out of it.

I will spare you any flashbacks to my senior portraits, but I'm taking my experience and what I love to do now and hopefully making a more unique and less traditional senior experience!
