Natural Teen Portraits

Katie in Roxbury, CT

Location scouting is something that never stops. I have my favorite spots and I challenge myself to make those look a little different for every client. But one of my favorite pass times is to drive around and find a new hidden gem for natural teen portraits.

Katie and I were looking for those purple wild flowers.

You know the ones I am talking about? They grow along the highway in Connecticut in early summer and we thought her Urban Outfitters dress would look so good with those. It proved harder than we thought but we found the most amazing climbing hydrangea on a shed in Roxbury and our day was made!

Thanks for being my co-pilot Katie! The long boots were the perfect choice to avoid ticks and poison ivy (the not so pretty CT roadside attractions).

For most client shoots I like a mix of urban and natural and if a teen/senior client wants to add studio shots then we can do that too. Variety in locations, stying and attitude give the widest range of choices for final image selection. Albums are amazing for showing different sides of your personality and they are really popular for teen and senior clients but there is nothing like walking past your favorite portraits on the wall!
