It's that time of year again, we are in the midst of prepping our 2016 Senior Catalog for mail out! We have spent the last few weeks choosing images and designing layouts and it hasn't been easy. Every year we seem to have the best clients and we want to feature every one of them!

Like anything else though, choices have to be made. Here were the three runner-ups for the cover

 Alexandra Monico - Lyman Hall                        Bobby Carey - Sheehan                         Amber Clausen - Cheshire

And a little back story on each photo...

Alexandra - Whenever we photograph on location we make sure to schedule them for the end of the day. We want to get the best light possible! In this particular image the way the warm light is hitting the rocks behind her and the natural mix with the highlights in her hair is almost magical. The cream dress adds to the tonal balance in the image and gives it a nice and calm feel. 

Bobby was supposed to spend the second half of his session on location. The weather wasn't looking great and we were going to reschedule but decided to use our outdoor studio to at least add some variety in his session when we had the chance. Right before heading inside we noticed the storm clouds rolling in and we took one last shot. It made for one of our (and his) favorite images of the whole session! We love the drama the clouds add to the whole image.

Amber had a great session. She really managed to express herself through her outfits and variety of final images chosen. This particular image has stood out to us since the beginning. The solid color but subtle pattern in her dress against the summer foliage really made her pop and your eyes immediately drawn to her. Her natural smile is something we love to capture and we felt that this image represented our approach to senior pictures the best! 

Ultimately, we chose Amber because we just loved the overall feel the image brought. Alexandra and Bobby's images did make it inside the catalog along with many other seniors from last season!

The catalog offers great tips for you senior session (or any photography session you may have) coming up! 

There are also some special promotions that can only be found inside the catalog but as a reader of our blog, you can get a glimpse at them, too!
