Brittany, Class of 2012 | Huntington, WV Senior Photographer

It's that time of year again, when high school seniors are cleaning out their lockers for the last time and getting ready to head off to college or out into the great, wide world.

Brittany is one of those seniors, and what makes her extra special is that she's also my niece.  Congratulations, Brittany!!  We're all so proud of you and all your accomplishments!

And congratulations to ALL the seniors graduating as part of the Class of 2012!!

Brittany, Class of 2012 | Huntington, WV Senior Portrait Photographer

This post could be alternatively titled: "What I've been up to since August."

When last I left the blog, I was taking a small break to concentrate on family and homeschooling my kids. Now that the Christmas holidays are over and life is a littler calmer, and my little one is a little more grown up, I definitely feel ready to jump back in!!

I can't wait to get back into the swing of things, and I have lots of new products and ideas to share with all of you. Until then, I want to share one of the portrait shoots I did on my mini-haitus.

My fantastic Senior Model for the 2012 school year is a bright, smart, funny, vivacious girl who was an absolute DREAM to photograph! Brittany was up for anything, and had quite a few fantastic pose and shot ideas of her own. And really, any girl who carries a fedora as part of her wardrobe changes is A-OK in my book!

Brittany and I had a great time shooting her senior portrait at Harris Riverfront Park in Huntington. It was my first session at the park, and I'm glad to have another good location to add to my shoot list!

 These are just a few of my favorite shots from Brittany's shoot. And believe me, it was hard to choose!

Zane, Ritter Park, Huntington, WV

After rescheduling several times, I was finally able to meet this cute little guy for a nice fall session in Ritter Park.  I've photographed Zane several times, and each time is more fun than the last.  

While photographing toddlers is definitely challenging, it is also some of my favorite work.  They might never cooperate, or look at the camera, or even smile sometimes, but it makes me work that much harder to capture their little personalities.  

Here are a couple of my favorite images from Zane's session:
