Jennifer – College Senior Portraits – Florence, Alabama

David Higginbotham — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 04:19:55 +0000

Jennifer wanted some portraits to document her graduation from college at The University of North Alabama. Now since this was back in November of 2010 Jennifer is certainly already working as a nurse and has probably been promoted a couple of times. Yep…this post isn’t exactly timely. So as you look at these photos let’s all just pretend that it’s not 112˚ outside.

Happy belated graduation Jennifer. :)

Bo – Senior 2010 – Decatur, Alabama Senior Portrait Photographer –

I don’t normally post very many images from senior portrait sessions but I wanted to post this one so I could prove a quick point. Sometimes it’s hard to explain how little the location matters when it comes to individual portraits. I wish I had a photo of the background to show you but it’s a hotel parking lot. Cars and some odd looking trees were the background. Nothing that would immediately scream “beautiful location for photos!”

Sometimes (a lot of the time) if you light the subject well and make the background work for you instead of against you….the location doesn’t matter.

I plan to illustrate this better in future posts but for now….here is Bo in a hotel parking lot.

Congratulations to Bo and the rest of the this year’s seniors!!

Scott’s Senior Session

Scott is a 2010 senior in Hartselle, Alabama. Every time I photograph a high school senior I try to think back to when I was in their shoes. It’s getting harder and harder to do that! Thirteen years ago now.

Wow.

I need a nap.

Good luck in all you do Scott and have fun because one day you’ll turn around and boom….you’re 30…or in my case 31.
