For some reason, my mini sessions always seem to be more like ‘extended mini’s’.  But what can I say, fun location, fun young lady (+friend & mom) = running long!  (How’s that for some word algebra for this last day before school starts?)

Thanks to mom and dad for driving into the city!

Thanks to “J” along with his brother and dad who made the trip back to the old  ‘hood’ for his senior photos.   I,  of course, love my neighborhood (which used to be their neighborhood long ago) and think it’s cool when families or seniors choose a location for their session that holds meaning for them!

That’s about all I can say about this senior;  wow, those eyes!  I couldn’t bring myself to convert any of these to black and white.  Thanks Miss E for crawling out of bed so early for photos, well early for a soon-to-be senior on summer vacation.    I couldn’t have asked for better light!

She wasn’t so sure about the ’serious face’  but I just love this one I got before she started smiling again…

Awesome group of kids +  parent chauffer to and from prom + supervised afterparty = good night of sleep for me.  Plus, they let me take photos.. 

Yes, it’s already that time!  Especially if your school has a deadline for the yearbook photo or if you want a summer session!   Check out the 2009 seniors on my website and general session information in the senior section.   Email or call for more session information!

 **For those who schedule a weekday session this June or July, before school gets out (I’ll go with June 10th), you’ll receive 50 complimentary 411 cards ($75 value) when you place your order.**  They’re like wallets, just more ‘2010′ and very social media friendly (add a web address, my space, twitter, etc).    See what I mean?

This girl is on the ball.  2010 senior session in May?  Okay, it wasn’t too hard to get some photos from her since it’s my stepdaughter.   I only had to threaten some extra chores  and she was more than happy to spend an hour taking photos.  She’s the Southwest High School senior rep so if you see her in school, grab a card from her!
