An Elegant Studio Session!

Tamara looked elegantly beautiful in her four outfits she wore during her studio session at Capturing The Moment Photography.  To get the props color coordinated, I changed the color of two chairs and one stool; most noticeably an orange chair to the color blue and a gold stool to a shade of mint green to match her high-heel shoes.  Tamara's portraits made an inexpensive, outdoor lawn chair look like a beautiful prop!  I've included most of Tamara's favorites but I just totally LOVE the first one shown below where she naturally posed herself!  Tamara, I'm so looking forward to your casual studio session with your "missing" accessory! :)

A petticoat, mirror, a spin and more...

In this image, Chante' is beautifully posed and window-lit with her shoes placed as a prop on top of her gorgeous graduation dress (more comments below).

Chante' looks serious here but she could hardly stop giggling at how I looked while standing on a ladder on my tippy toes!

This mirror portrait is a substitute of a pose we were planning since I shattered the glass of the mirror before the session!  We have since fixed the mirror and will be doing a reflection mirror pose at her next session outdoors.

We took several of Chante' spinning and this is her favorite image of the whole session.

Chante' didn't think we could get images of her shoes since her dress was so long, but we figured out a way! :)

Doesn't she portray elegance in our gold, I mean, red chair!?!  Thank God for Adobe Lightroom!!! :)

We wanted a variety of backgrounds and this blush background went perfect with her graduation dress...

and this black parasol against the blush background.

We finished up the session with a few with this outfit and this is her favorite with this outfit. Thanks for looking!

Janelle's Studio Session ~ Cap and Gown

We completed Janelle's final session in the studio along with her cap and gown portraits.  I liked Janelle's choice of clothing as it went well with her skin tones.  We used four different backgrounds to compliment her outfits, and I must say I'm having a hard time to determine which ones are my favorites from her session.  I told Janelle that she was probably the most elegantly posed senior that I have ever photographed.  She was a natural! I have selected some from her studio session and included them for you to enjoy!

Anna at Mid-America Piano

Mid-America was so kind to allow us to take Anna's piano portraits at their business a couple weeks ago.  On one of my favorites poses, I replaced the background which is the first one shown below.  Anna looks so elegant in her portraits with the various grand pianos.  I caught her natural smile as she was talking to the owner in the sepia portrait below (second to last).  Her and my favorite was the last portrait taken as we were leaving.  There was a row of pianos in fluorescent colors and Anna was lit by beautiful window light with a colorful background.  It is the last one in this blog post.  Enjoy!
