Senior Models Round 2- Adventures of a Carrollton Senior Portrait Photographer

We’ve already introduced you to half of our stylish models, now we’re ready to introduce the rest of the trendy group!

Drum roll please!

webBrynn8x10_8566
Brynn is a senior at Hebron, and we LOVE her! This outfit is perfect because it has a nice punch of color. Plus, Brynn accesorized with a matching cuff and boots to make the look complete. Simple style is the most impressive! As Coco Chanel said, “Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off.”

webTaylor8x10_9701
We love Taylor’s dress. It has a simple silhouette but the geometric pattern is what makes it special. This dress didn’t need any accesories, the pattern was bold enough to stand alone.

webPatrick8x10_8293
Patrick went with something casual that really brought out his eyes, and he definitely knows how to smile. Though that might just be because he’s the only guy, lucky him!

webKelsey8x10_8684
Kelsey went really bold with the color of her dress and finished the look off with nuetrals. Her bone colored espadrilles look great and are super versatile, add in some beautiful natural make-up and you have a fantastic look!

webKatie8x10_8754
I am head over heels in LOVE with Katie’s chevron shirt. Plus Katie didn’t just stop there. Instead of going the super easy route and choosing an inexpensive looking pair of flip flops, she chose an adorable sandal with bronze colored beading. The simplest way to make an outfit a success is adding the right pair of shoes!

webCaitie8x10_8475
Picking just one image of Caitie was really hard, she photographs so well! I ended up choosing this one because it shows off her amazing eyes. Caitie’s make-up is simple, but highlights her features perfectly. A lot of people go over the top on make-up for pictures, if you choose just one feature to accentuate you’ll get pictures as beautiful as Caitie’s!

If you’re a 2014 Senior and know any of these amazing models, keep an eye out! Pretty soon they’ll have something to give you for your Senior Portraits at Texas Tradition Photography!

Rockin the Senior Roadtrip- Adventures of a Carrollton Senior Portrait Photographer

Our first 2014 Senior road trip was amazing! We rode the dart train through Downtown Dallas and were able to get a ton of different looks! AND these girls knew how to dress for portraits! Karli, Gabriella, and Jordan were accessorized and dressed to the nines!

Karli5x7_9686  

Karli’s outfit works so well because she wasn’t afraid to wear color. Her shorts and shoes are neutral, so the big pop of hot pink looked great add on some silver jewelry and she was 100% camera ready. Plus hot pink makes Karli’s eyes really pop!

Gabby5x7_6844

Gabriella has a really unique style, so finding something that showed that off was really fun. The metal wave played off her nautical stripe top well, accented by her red nails and lipstick it looked superb. Once Gabby added the cocktail ring it became a fully realized outfit!

Jordan5x7_7114

I can’t even tell you how much I LOVE Jordan’s dress! It’s a beautiful shade of mint which is in style this Spring, the lace detail of the sleeve is beautiful, and it fits her like a glove! The coral necklace and earrings played really well with the mint, making a fantastic outfit. Jordan looked great everywhere we had her pose, but this image really shows off how photogenic she is!

Elvis5x7_6651-2

We got to meet Elvis! Okay, so maybe it wasn’t the real Elvis, but it was still pretty cool!

The Adventures of a Carrollton Senior Photographer, a Beautiful Carrollton High School Senior and a Snake

As a professional photographer, I get to experience some amazing… and some NOT so amazing things. An ordinary day for me is not always ordinary. Photography seems glamorous, but it is actually hard work.  I do a lot of physical climbing, bending, squatting, laying down and heavy lifting. But, what some people might not realize is that every day is an adventure.

I had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful 2013 Carrollton High School Senior a couple of weeks ago. McKenzie is a very graceful, confident girl with some AMAZING clothes.  Our session started out perfectly. She was on time and her hair and make up were done professionally.

After about an hour of photographing in our Texas Tradition Photography studio, we headed outside for some more creative images. Now keep in mind that McKenzie has been dancing her entire life and is extremely graceful and poised.

We headed out to the rocks and climbed (her in Pointe shoes and tutu) to some rocks blocking the water way.  It was beautiful.  I helped her get situated and gave her some guidance and then stepped back to begin our photography.

McKenzie Screamed. (still acting like a girl). The snake must have washed up very soon after she got on the rocks because it was in ALL the portraits.

Thank goodness this was a mild mannered snake! I guess even the snakes want to be close to McKenzie. Thank you Mckenzie for such a fun senior portrait session!

“Our” Dr. Thames – Carrollton Family Portrait Photographer

I’m sure a lot of you recognize this staff!  We have been working with Dr. Thames and his staff for a couple of years now and love them all. I challenge you to find another orthodontist that is as friendly as they are! (and good looking)  If you need braces, or if you think you need braces, you should check them out at www.DrThames.com

Class of 2013… – Carrollton Senior Photographer

With your junior year well in the rear view mirror, it’s full speed ahead to your senior year.  Toward the end of summer, the pace will pick up with school activities, SAT testing, college visits and the holidays.  Now is the time to start planning out your year.

As a senior parent, you are likely to be overwhelmed with this last year of high school and find yourself wondering if you have done enough to prepare your son/daughter for their adult life… take a deep breath, make a to do list, get a calendar and get started… one thing at a time.

The logical thing to start with is your senior portrait session.  Why?  First of all, it’s fun and it is something you can do with your senior.  Second, your schedule is the most flexible during the summer and third, you will need current portraits for the yearbook PDA, college and scholarship applications, theater auditions and graduations announcements.  There are SO many reasons why this is the best time to call.  Summer is almost over.  Let’s get started.

2013 Seniors are Savvy – North Dallas Senior Photography

It seems like our seniors this year are much more fashion savvy than in the past. Their outfits appear to be more thought out and carefully pieced together. It is such an inspiration to a fashion victim like myself.  Although we coach our seniors on what to bring before their session, we have to be somewhat vague since the kids have their own style and usually dress better than the normal adult. The last thing I want to do is hold back their creativity. I must say that I love the colorful shoes I have been seeing… from the boys and the girls.

We have been photographing seniors since school has been out and it has been very eventful.  The kids make me laugh. They are fun and funny and just typically… teenager-ish.  I love it.  I would never go back to the teenage years, but I love working with them.  They are all excited about their senior year, yet a little overwhelmed about picking the perfect college.  I know they will work through it… it’s all a part of life. I’m just glad I have the pleasure of being their senior photographer…. and eventually their wedding photographer when the time is right.
