I have two beautiful young women who volunteered to be my senior reps this year (or, rather, next year). This woman is SO much fun. She hardly stopped laughing the entire session and has SUCH a gorgeous smile. And, really, how can you not love someone who brings a Buddha to her session? Thank you for being just such a delight to photograph; I should have your goodies out to you soon!
After a slew of babies I got to go out and shoot a teenager the other day. No NO. With a camera. Sheesh. And she was GORGEOUS. We’d had to reschedule once because she had a driver’s test that, in classic DMV style, had not happened on time. But, thanks to the reschedule, we got to go out during the gorgeous light of the end of the day.
Senior rep is a good gig. I get 1 or 2 high school seniors to model and they get brag books, 411 cards and discounts on prints as well as referral cash for every session they send me. I have one more rep to shoot this week and then it’s onto full on senior portrait season.
Oh, wait… you want to SEE this beautiful young woman. Oh. Well. I suppose I could manage that…
Meredith is my senior rep, who agreed to let me harass her with the camera repeatedly. Last time she played with the tilt-shift lens. This day we just missed the rain. It was spitting before we started, held off for about 90 minutes, then started to actually come down. And the mosquitoes were awful. Snap the shutter. Slap the bug. Snap the shutter. Slap the bug. One of these days I’ll make her actually go in a dirty pond like my poor bridal model.
She is a pleasure to take pictures of, always game to try anything no matter how absurd. Meanwhile, she’s just lucky she isn’t taller or she’d get sucked into the modeling world with all the attendant insanity.
Next time – 1940’s period clothing and an urban setting!

Back in another lifetime before I had twins I was a middle and high school teacher. I’m still certified, actually. I taught at a little Catholic school in Bristol, CT where I got moved from one grade and subject to another so fast I taught 6th grade English one year, 8th grade the next, and then 9th grade history the year after that. I always taught Latin and then wherever there was a hole I filled in. I always loved “my” 6th graders from that English class though. They were just an incredible group of kids.
They are about to be seniors in high school.
This makes me feel old.
Look out for pictures from one of them later on – she’s a budding photographer, applying to art school for next year, and though she is up in Maine surfing right now we have plans to get together and shoot later in the summer.
Here’s another one. Isn’t she amazing? I think in this first shot she looks like Nimue, about to entice Merlin into falling in mad love with her right before she locks him up in a tree.
