Austin: Round Rock Senior High School Portraits

by

Round Rock HS Senior Portraits #-7

I am never worried about the future when I meet clients like Austin here. He runs his own golf-ball finding business (ask him!), is already working on his pilot lesson, and has the coolest jeep we have photographed yet! How could the photos not turn out amazing, I mean check out the burnt orange jeep with maxed out LED lighting and a nice lift for those big ole tires. Though I think Austin was a bit jealous of the fuel range of the AzulOx Jetta TDI.

Our locations for the day were the Castle Hill Graffiti Wall and an undisclosed parking lot near the Oasis. The jeep had no problem getting up that rock, don’t think the Jetta could handle it, ha! We also utilized the top of the Oasis parking garage in a stone concrete stair well with a spot grid for the last photo. Simple and elegant way to control the ambient, get out of the sun, allowed us to shoot at f1.8, f2 ish with an off camera flash. Sorry, too much technical-babble. Anyhow, Austin the person is awesome and I am happy to have met him in the City of Austin

Where should we go for our next creative Senior Portrait Session?

Linda: Senior Portraits

by

LindaSBlog#-1

Linda is a soon to be graduate of Cedar Park HS preparing to play volleyball as a setter for the University of Missouri. We love working with athletes like Linda. Uncomfortable at first but with a bit of coaching and mirroring Linda was using her athlete knowledge to pose and move to produce some stunning results. Of course it helped that she could flash her big wattage smile on cue, much harder to get her NOT to smile!

We had a great time using just one light and only 2 locations to produce a variety of photographs for Linda and her family to choose from. We love to provide a diversity in our work in terms of lighting, styling and composition. We feel that this is one of our hallmarks as professional photographers is to provide stylish photographs with our clients inputs. Linda and her mother knew they wanted casual feeling photos so we spent the first hour getting open shade and ambient with a slight mix of our softbox to pop her from the frame just a bit. Linda told me she also wanted a more Urban feel to a few of the images. We popped over the Castle Hill graffiti wall to get harder, edgier more contrasty photographs that fit the scene and mood. We utilized harder light modifier and placed them at steeper angles for graffiti set.

When choosing us for your photographer be sure and let us know the feeling and style you are trying to exude, and then you can be a star like Linda.
