I think it was a Thursday when I received a call from John, Joshee’s Dad saying he had found me on google (I love when that happens!) and wanted to book me for Senior Portraits on Saturday!  They were in town from the Eastern Shore, and Joshee wanted to have his portraits taken while they were here. It just so happened I had a slot open so I was more than happy to meet and photograph him!

What a BLAST we had!  Joshee is half Korean, so we started at Red Wing Park and incorporated some of the Oriental Gardens.  We got some great shots with the bridge, bamboo and pagoda.  It had rained earlier and was looking a little gloomy, but we headed to the beach anyway, hoping for a decent sunset.  When we arrived the sun was trying to peek through and I was satisfied with a little color.  Then, a few minutes after the sun actually set, the sky went CRAZY!  We got the most amazing  colors and clouds.  I shot for almost a half hour after sunset, making sure I got as much of the amazing sky as possible!

Joshee was awesome.  Cool and laid back, willing to climb trees and sand dunes, even be a little silly when I asked!  He was a blast to photograph and I hope someday, I get to photograph him and his family again!

P.S.  I LOVE photographing High School Seniors.  It is one of my very favorite sessions.   If you know a High School Senior, or a parent of a Senior, please give them this link  http://issuu.com/devonshanor/docs/complete_senior_magazine  to check out my Senior Magazine, explaining everything there is to know about Senior Portraits with Devon Shanor Photography! 

A few months back, I was so happy to photograph Katie.  I love this girl!!!  I have been photographing her since she was in 8th grade and I was so excited to work with her for her Senior Portraits.  What a fun time we had… even if we sat in burrs (OUCH!) and FROZE on the beach (her more than me, she got completely wet!)

I love her carefree  personality and “show em” attitude.  I love that even after a tough summer and fall, she still has a fire in her and her smile still lights up a room.  She is adventurous and strong willed, but can also be childlike and silly!  (She wore a rainbow-loom ring on her finger for a few shots that I had to photoshop out per mom’s request!)

I love that she can be silly and playful…and not take life to seriously!  She’s my kind of girl!  It was my honor to create these amazing portraits showcasing the amazing, beautiful almost-woman that is Katie.
