Travel in Time for a Senior Session

    Josh and his family live in New York City, but his mom grew up in Beresford, South Dakota.  Home visiting over the holiday's, Josh's mom and grandma wanted a few more poses of Josh in his senior year of high school.

 

     Phyllis, Josh's grandma, suggested the old family homestead.  Her father and grandfather were born on a farm near Beresford.  Decades have passed since anybody has dwelled here.

     I loved the site.  I've driven by it a number of times, wishing to do some photographic work there.  The homestead is an excellent abandoned site, complete with a windmill.  Typically those fall apart before the buildings do.

 

     I love creating sessions on location.  I think that portraits taken at locations that are meaningful to the subject are the best.

 

     While the property looks abandoned, it isn't completely.  A herd of cattle, also managed by the family, loiters near by.  They were hoping for a bite to eat.  They're used to being fed whenever Merril stops by.

 

 

     I was able to photograph Phyllis and Merril with their grandkids, the fifth generation to step foot on this property.

 

 

Thanks for braving the day.  It was chilly, but lovely.

 

Activity Session for Your Senior!

High school seniors have worked their way through four years of school, leaving a trail of activities they've loved. A senior photo session reflects the individual.





An event session helps document the activities that may have consumed their time and occupied their heart.

I would love to highlight what makes them tick in their portraits. Then we can book an extra session where I attend an activity to capture images of your student at work.

Composite images are also created from the resulting photos.
