Olivia~~Senior Photoshoot

My oldest sister, Olivia, is a senior in homeschooled high school this year. We decided to forgo any expensive professional shoots and go with little ol' me, photographer-in-training. I always need extra practice anyways, so this was fun! And, despite my lack of pro-ness, I think they turned out rather well!


We went to the city to take these photos in a pretty park. Don't know why. Just did! It was sun-shiney, and we had to wait for the clouds to cover the sun to get some good lighting. The most horrible time for taking pictures is 12:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m...when the sun is high in the sky. Yes, that's when we went.


But, we made do. :o)


One of my faves~~there's just something about little teensy-weensy daisies that I luuuv. And I'm a sucker for downwards shots. Check out the cute widdle guy in her hand, too..<3

..No, the camera wasn't tilted--she is on a hill. Yeah..just so's ya weren't blaming me. ;{)



..Did a yellow tint called "cross process" on this photo. I love that effect! Doesn't it make everything look super vintage-ish and awesome?


Birch trees always make good props. :)

Our friend Rachael came over to our house later and took a few shots.




..Love how the sun turned out in this one!

Which one, in your opinion, is ranked "best?" Though I must say Liv never takes a bad photo. ;)

  7. I wish you lived closer to me...then I'd employ you!

    A photographer, despite how much she wishes, never can take a half decent photo of herself.

  8. Congrats to your sister on graduating! What an exciting time for her! =D

    You take such beautiful pictures, Lucia. =) I really like the first one, the one with her holding the daisy, and the shot of her looking up with her skirt all stretched out on the grass.

  12. Oh, I love them! She is a beautiful model and I think they look much nicer than the ones done in a studio and then edited to make the subject look too perfect-looking to be real which makes the seniors not really look as they do in real life. You are a wonderful photographer, Lucia! I do wish I had your talent.

  13. my favorite is the second one Rachel took...be careful of what's in your background - the second one you took is cute, but her foot is coming out of her head.

    The colors are fantastic and I love the creative angles you used!

  18. These are beautiful, Lucia! You have an eye for a good photo.

    I would have to say the first shot is my favorite. The angle and the composition is lovely.

  19. I think you did an excellent job! My personal fav's were the 1st,
    3rd 6th and last. :) Keep it up!

  20. Your sister is so pretty! I like the 4th one, shes like thinking of something, preoccupied, unaware of anything but the flower she's holding..
    great shots btw. ((:

  21. Personally, I like the fourth one the best.....but it probably wouldn't be the best senior pic since the subject's eyes are hidden. So I think that the sixth one makes a perfect graduation pic.

  22. I like photos 4,5 and 6. :)

  25. Lucia,

    They are all so pretty! I don't know which is my favorite! :)

    Which one did your sister pick?

    My mother took my senior pictures last year for me-- they turned out great and she's not a photographer! :)
