Chris's Senior Portrait Shoot, Baton Rouge

Chris plays the drums on the banks of the Mississippi

There are several things vital for capturing great images and  I always consider that capturing a persons true spirit is probably the most important.  When it came to taking Chris's senior pictures I new this wouldn't be a problem.  With an army of helpers we managed to move his drum set onto the river bank overlooking the Missippippi river.   I'd intended to just pose a few images but for someone like Chris it's impossible to sit at a drum kit and not have a jam session.  This worked out perfect as i moved around and climbed up and down getting the shots.

I love shooting people with character and Ariel certainly has lots of that.  Her constant smiles and boundless energy made the whole senior photographs shoot in three different locations a real fun afternoon.

We started off at her house and her massive collection of shoes, I'm not saying there were a lot but let's just say a centipede would not have had cold feet.  Not satisfied with that she also has an uber cool seat made in the shape of a ... guess what ..... yup a shoe.

Having finished shooting at Ariels home we headed for Baton Rouge.  We photographed all over the town and finished at the old state capital.  It was my first time at the old capital and it was well worth a visit.

Jeanette's Senior Portrait Session in Baton Rouge

Jeanette relaxes by the lake at the state capital

Just  before I left the comfort and warmth of Louisiana for the cold winter in England I had a very busy week where I photographed 4 sessions in a week.

The following images are all taken of Jeanette and were inside and around the state capital just before dusk.  Amazingly the whole shoot was done inside of two hours (i think) as we had to be super-quick because we were running out of daylight.

We had great fun although we were warned away from the state capital steps at one point by the security guards.  Unfortunately a young child had fallen recently and some of the drops from the steps down to the ground are very high so it's understandable they don't want anyone injuring themselves.

The following is a short video showing a few of the images from the shoot.  You can download this slidesghow via i-tunes and from their add it to your i-phone / video i-pod by clicking this link.

Dave and Julies Wedding at the Fennes Estate, Bocking

Julie and Dave have a quiet moment on the bridge at the Fennes bocking

Differant times of year offer differant opportunities.  Autumn offers possibly the best colours as leaves and plants turn yellow and fall to the ground.  Of course life can't be too easy so whilst the colours are amazing the light in autumn is scarce and at 4pm its almost dark.

So having spoken to Julie and Dave back in April (see their pre wed shoot by clicking here), it was always going to be a rush to get the pictures at the church then race back to the magnificent Fennes estate to make use of their well tended grounds.

We had a lot of fun on the day and as yo can see below managed to get some pictures before mother nature turned out the lights.  You can download this slideshow via i-tunes and then add it to your i-phones or video i-player.
