High School Senior Photoshoot brings Evermore vibes

High School Senior Photoshoot brings Evermore vibes

*hit play on Willow by Taylor Swift and proceed.

First, let’s not focus on how far behind I am on blogging and how many years ago I shot this gorgeous girl. Let’s focus on how, even 2 years later, these images still feel timeless but in style. That’s my aim with every session- how we style and how I edit it. We want to bring a freshness to the shoot while being able to still look back on it 10 years later and have it not feel like we entered into a different dimension. haha

With that being said. Meet Meghan.


I love how we went from an orange flowy dress olive overalls. This is the main reason I love photographing Seniors. This is something they really embrace that my adult clients don’t- we as individuals do not have a personality built on 1 thing, one way of living, 1 way of being. We hold within us several different versions of ourselves, and that’s ok. You don’t have to wake up every single day and be exactly the same. Maybe one day you want to dress up and go out in the city. Maybe one day you want to dress rugged and go hiking. You can do that. You should do that. And the way we show that to the world in photographs is through our wardrobe.


The third location we visited was Marysville High School. This was a must. Meghan was in softball, volleyball, and basketball. I’m tired just thinking about going to god only knows how many practices and games over her 4 year high school period. haha This was a chance to show off her more serious and strong side, which I always love to see. It added a little grit and edge to her shoot, and again, embraces the different faces she puts on when she steps onto the field or court vs the face she wears with family and friends.


The last stop was downtown Port Huron and was designed around what we discussed in our first meeting to plan out her shoot.
One of the main things I remember was that she wanted a modern Stevie Nicks vibe. After that my imagination ran wild on how to bring that to life.

*hit play on Edge of Seventeen by Stevie Nicks and finish up looking at this funky, fashion forward set!

Senior Fashion- how to diversify your look during your photoshoot

Senior Fashion- how to diversify your look during your photoshoot

    I like girls who don’t exactly play by the rules, especially with fashion. Take a few risks, I promise you it will pay off. Even if you’re not ready to totally get WAY out of the box, even the smallest of details will make a huge difference!
   Andrea didn’t know at the time of her shoot I would be using her as this fashionista example, I didn’t even know it, but looking back at her shoot now it’s clear she put together some killer looks and there’s some things you could learn from her and what she rocked during her Summer and Fall Senior Photoshoots (yes- she’s so fab she did 2 shoots!)

   First off, this green “dress” she’s wearing. It’s an oversized sweater. She bought it larger than her normal top size so it would be the perfect slouchy, comfy sweater dress. So get creative with pieces and sizes! The boho headpiece- it’s just a necklace! As she was putting it on she looked like a little gypsy with it on her head, so we snagged some fun shots!

   This bold pop of color in her next look was great and notice the accessories- a few bracelets and watch. It’s these tiny things that add extra texture and bling to your portraits, so don’t forget parts of your wardrobe that you think will be hidden- we’ll find a way and a pose to show them off!

   Ok! I’ve waited long enough to talk about my FAV outfit she wore! These overalls and boots. The floral, bright crop top still keeps it feminine but those tall boots with the pants rolled up bring that edge back! I can’t get over this look! It’s unexpected and that’s what’s going to make your portraits stand out! Plus, she’s got moves- I mean look at her just rockin those baggy boyfriend cut overalls!

   Ok, moving on from my current obsession of overalls- This dress is a great chic look and really mixes it up from the looks we’ve seen so far. It’s something a little more sophisticated, put together, and then paired with the heel, it takes it to a level we haven’t seen yet! Diversity is key to get the most out of your Senior Portraits!

  Next we have this super casual look. When I say casual I don’t mean boring though, the ripped jeans and layered necklace keep it interesting! It’s meant to be a carefree, summer look paired with the easy going, sun kissed location.

   And lastly. So dreamy. This white, soft dress with this floral crown. Whimsy will never get old to us at AJBC! The look turns very editorial / fashion when she gets in the water! And THIS is what you want for your Senior Experience! Something that doesn’t FEEL or look like a typical portrait. The days of turn, smile, click are gone, and so are the “rules” of fashion, because true fashion has no rules and no limits.

Senior embraces care free, boho chic style for photoshoot

   As a photographer it is clear my goal is to always capture the essence of someone’s personality and style thru photographs! Delaney's senior session perfectly describes her. Warm, fun, fashionable, adventurous and of course, drop dead gorgeous.
   The moment she arrived was the start of a stunning evening. Once we finished up with hair and make up we hopped in the car and drove down the backgrounds until we found a ditch…YES that's correct- she OWNED that ditch. There is nothing more fun than taking something as unnoticed as a ditch and throwing in fierce Delaney to perfect this grunge senior look.

   Outfit two, here we come. Hopped back in the car chasing the sunset.. Delaney got dolled up in her fun cream lace dress…with heels? Hell no!  She rocked it with some cowgirl boots! You would think cowgirl boots you’re getting down and dirty but she was the total opposite! She had this warm country glow just radiating! We found an old church with peeling pant which was the perfect balance of rustic & glam!

   We made one last stop, down a tiny trail in the woods we found a crumbling stone wall and hidden behind it was a small creek! It was a chilly fall evening and Delaney had no fear getting right into the water! I didn’t even have to tell her what to do, her fun free spirit just took over… from playful twirling and dancing to modelesque posing.

   I’m no chemist but I do know her style mixed with her personality was fire. From sassy and fierce to bubbly and playful, she nailed every look.
