Emma's Concord Audubon Senior Session

This girl is going places!

When she first reached out about her session, she sent me some gorgeous ideas of her vision for the session. She was looking for very natural vibes- a big field with tall grass and wildflowers. Part of me immediately panicked because the session was scheduled for September and we don’t really have lots of wildflowers blooming here in NH during the Fall.

But thankfully, God reminded me of this field I had spotted one time after going for a hike with friends in Concord, NH. (Photographers who can’t do anything in life without noticing photo spots feel this one!) When I scoped it out a few days prior to her session, I was so relieved to see all the life and color! Aaaand not to mention some gorgeous golden hour glow! I hope these photos are everything you had envisioned, Emma!

Next Fall, Emma has plans to study Nursing & Psychology at Cedarville University. From the short time I’ve spent with her, I can tell Emma is going to make an amazing nurse! She is so sweet, caring, and smart! She will be such an attentive and competent nurse and I’m so excited for her! 

Ainsley & Lily's Portsmouth Senior Session

What’s even more amazing than these two senior girls is how big their smiles are considering they are on a sugar fast with their volleyball team! If you know me, you know I love volleyball. Like, I REALLY love volleyball. But I also love ice cream. So, anyone who makes me choose between volleyball and ice cream… that person is not my friend. 

Seriously though, I’m so excited to share this senior session with you guys, because it is the first time I’ve done a shared session for two seniors! This is a brand new offering this year called the “Senior Besties Session.” I know maybe that’s not the most ‘lit’ way all the Gen-Zers would say it, but hey, I’m a 28-year-old millennial dad, so I’m aloud to be a little lame.

Ainsley & Lily were the perfect girls to launch this new offering with! It was so fun to see each of them shine through different posing. One of my favorite poses I’ve been trying with senior girls is to have them walk towards the camera and work it like their own runway! This was definitely Ainsley’s specialty! She would give Tyra Banks a run for her money! This girl owned that runway! I could tell she really loved being on camera and the camera loved her, too! 

Lily on the other hand, expressed that she was a little nervous, but you wouldn’t be able to tell by scrolling through her photos! She was a natural! The pose that made her come alive on camera was when I had her run her fingers through her bangs and look down into her elbow. I know, it sounds so weird, but look how amazing it looks on camera!

I have to officially named these poses after them. The catwalk with forever be known as “The Ainsley,” and the look down into your elbow will be known as “The Lily.” Patents pending. 

Now, your challenge is to scroll through these images and find the ones where the girls are doing their signature pose! Also, I always love to take a photo of our seniors with their mama’s at the end of the session! But you’ll have to scroll through to find those, too!
