Here is the sneak peek from Emily's senior session. We had a gorgeous day to work with. The first day we were scheduled was after one of our big summer storms. I had to reschedule because we had no electricity for 22 hours--which of course means no air conditioning--not good for the comfort level of a photo session. The really bizarre thing was that on our second try, the power went out about an hour before Emily and her mom were supposed to arrive--no storm, no nothing. I looked out and saw the AEP truck down the street--so I had confidence that we would soon have power again--and we did--less than an hour outage that time. I never did find out what happened that time.
We started out with some studio pics at my place and outdoors. After that we headed to downtown Lancaster and finished up at Emily's house. I did Emily's brother's senior pics a couple of years ago--so I already had met their dog. He's like a member of the family just like ours. He wasn't happy about coming outside for photos in the heat. He was complaining about it--literally. It's so funny how pets have their own personality. Anyway, we got some cute photos--and everyone survived the hot summer day!
Here are a few from the outdoor portion of Ben's senior session. We got rained out on his original session day. Ironically, it was another rainy day when the rescheduled date rolled around--gotta' love Ohio weather. Between Ben's crazy schedule and my crazy schedule, Ben decided that he wanted to go ahead and shoot in the rain. I actually love the even brighter colors. The only challenge was keeping the camera gear dry. I ducked under cover with his clothes changes and it worked out great. Brings back memories of working for the newspaper and shooting high school football in the rain!
