Jacob {Galena / Sunbury Senior Photographer}

I never thought of taking senior portraits, until J. I had never met him, but knew he was a senior, knew his mother, and decided to venture out of my comfort zone (of munchkins). I called her up out of the blue, and low and behold, she was in the process of trying to get something scheduled. This young man is amazing and I really had a lot of fun with him. He was very open to suggestions, was patient with my "let's get one more shot" or "let's try this", and I loved how he wasn't "too shy" in front of the camera. In fact I enjoyed it so much, I think I'll reach out to more seniors next year. It's fun taking pictures of all ages. Each has there own challenges and I'm still trying my niche.

I learned so much through this shoot. Don't forget about the feet, shadows, shadows, shadows - especially when shooting by a tree; play around with different exposures; and much more, as I know I'll continue to learn from each session.
