Stunning Beauty

Tags: photo slideshows, senior pictures|September 23, 200928 Comments

This past weekend, Chantel, Marika (my sassy sarcastic and super fun assistant) and I hit the town for Chantel’s Senior portraits. She was the epitome of chic and uber stylish. I just loved her clothing choices… and those boots!!! No words are necessary for those bad boys. We nearly melted in the 95º weather. We were both bummed to run out of light before we hit the water to shoot. Thank you Chantel for a fantastic afternoon and pushing through the heat in your jeans, sweater and fantastic boots! Enjoy the show.

Oh, and before I get a bunch of emails again from curious photographers … no I did not whiten her eyes or use flash or off camera lighting!Yes, Cindy… fill with a reflector!

What?! What?! Again, it just keeps getting better and better. I love the little photo within a photo. That truly is unexpected and unique. What a brilliant little secret touch. Her eyes are incredible – what a brilliant chocolate caramel color. What can I say? Brilliant!

Chantel has grown up to be such a beautiful young lady. I know her mom is very proud (Rightly so!). I was impressed the use of color in the pictures.

Michelle, just… tell me how you do it already. I give up. These are almost so just… fulfilling that they become surreal. The locations are extraordinary, and there’s so much to your colours – rich, and vibrant and not anywhere close to being unrealistic. You’ve found the perfect balance.

How refreshing to see such a pleasant and lovely young lady with her gentle smile. Too many seniors seem angry and sullen in their photos but you’ve brought out the beauty and serenity of Chantel. Lovely lighting, perfect composition…well done!
