Mitchel's Rural Senior Session

One of my favorite types of photography is senior portraits, but I don't really do them very often! I think because there are studios that have contracts with schools, most seniors just use them. I do enjoy shooting the few that come to me though. This year I got to shoot a family friend, Mitchel. His grandmother and my mom have been friends for a long time! I got to take them out at her house, where I remember playing some as a kid. It's a gorgeous place!

I love the way they turned out! The weather was kind of bad that day, but it's been like that pretty much all summer. You never know if it's going to rain or now. You can tell the sun came out for part of the time, which is actually not good for taking pictures, but we made it work! My favorites are the ones by the lake. I just love how peaceful it is out there.

I hope you're all having a great August so far! It's hard to believe that Fall is just around the corner. I'm getting pretty excited for the lower humidity and cooler temps.
