De Pere 2012 Senior – Hallie
I’ve been excited to share Hallie’s senior pictures with you for a few days and finally now have time to share them. Hallie is a senior at De Pere High school and is also the daughter of a good friend of mine that I have photographed many times over the years. It was not the setting of your typical “senior picture session”. For the shot below I asked Hallie if she would mind standing in the Bike Lane directly next to moving traffic, I know, I’m crazy. We were standing only a few feet away from moving traffic drinking warm Hot Chocolate & Coffee from Luna Cafe about to finish up, and I felt really great about the images we made while the sun was out. But with fresh dose of caffeine my idea light bulb lit up when I saw all the tail-lights waiting at a traffic light. With Hallie’s dad filling in as a voice-activated-light-stand off to camera right and a sea of break-lights we snapped off lots of shots in a very short amount of time in the middle of the street. It ends up that it’s my favorite shot from the session, sometimes even when you think that you are all done for the day it pays to shoot that one more picture. The creative process works in awesome ways sometimes. See some more pictures from Hallie’s Senior session after the jump.

Why Every Session Is Important.
I have had more and more first-hand personal experiences this past year than ever that verify a very my strong personal belief that I have about photography. A belief that goes deeper than just an exposure, a belief that we have all experienced, and a belief that we all have contributed to; Photography is a very important aspect in each of our lives historically, emotionally, and esthetically.
Viewing, discussing, and creating images can be a passage to self-discovery that enhances self-esteem. Studying photography can be the conduit to a further understanding of various cultures and different ways of seeing, believing, and thinking. Photography broadens our conception of ourselves and the world. ~ Cynthia Way
One of the joys of photography that we all can relate to is the historic sense of documenting a moment in time. Baby Joe can be captured at one, two, three years old for years to come. A moment can last for generations to come. A moment that can change history or a moment that can keep a deceased loved one close forever. As a parent you carry pictures of your children in your wallet, police use pictures to photograph crime scenes, many hire a photographer to capture their wedding day. Photography is one of the most universal mediums that is used in just about every avenue of our culture. More after the jump….

Nicole | 2012 Two Rivers Senior
Nicole is a senior at Two Rivers High School and came to me wanting something different than the usual “senior picture” session. As I pulled up to the location where Nicole picked for her pictures I recognized a familiar face of a young man that I photographed before, her boyfriend Mark, a 2011 senior. I knew right away that I had high standards to meet, Mark’s session was a really good one. Starting with a backseat full of clothes we narrowed it down to a few options and started to click away the frames. Fortunately the wind and weather cooperated that day (unlike the days we had to reschedule) and we ended up with some really beautiful portraits of Nicole. Best of luck this on your senior year! Thanks for a great session.
