Shelby's Senior Portraits

I was able to get out today and shoot senior portraits for Shelby, a member of Riley High School's Class of 2010. We took some shots out in the woods, by the lake blowing bubbles, and in her awesome Mustang. I was really pleased with the way that these shots turned out. Shelby is super photogenic and a great model!

With a boost up, we were able to get this fun shot of her in the tree.

I'd like to claim this idea as my own, but Shelby came up with the idea and the pose, and I think it looks great in black and white!


This was a shot that I thought of while shooting pictures of Shelby through the windshield. I think it turned out great. I'm planning on trying this one in black and white, but leaving the mirror in color.

A circular polarizer filter was used to eliminate the reflection on the windshield. Without it I couldn't have gotten this cool shot of Shelby sitting in her Mustang.


This tall lamp provided many great and fun photo opportunities.




This one is my favorite shot from the whole afternoon. By using a low camera angle, emphasis could be placed on the Mustang logo in the grill.






Shots like this made it clear that Shelby is a great model. She came up with many great poses and ideas for shots on her own!


Everyone had a great time with the bubble shots.


I think this one turned out great
