The Magic of Golden Hour

As a photographer, one of the key things that can really take a photoshoot to the next level is the lighting. If you’ve ever wondered why so many photographers recommend scheduling shoots during a specific time of day, the answer is simple: Golden Hour!

Hey there! One of my most frequently asked questions is how to pose during your senior session. Here are some of my favorite poses that could work for anyone! I love nothing more than capturing the unique personalities of my seniors during their sessions.

Hi friends! Meet Olivia, a recent graduate from Armwood high and a soon to be Lion, for the University of Columbia. Olivia’s senior session in downtown Tampa was a perfect blend of city and nature, and highlighted Olivia’s personality perfectly. From posing on her high school track, to proudly standing in her PINK cap and gown, this session is filled with photos that scream Olivia!

Capturing the essence of a senior’s final year of high school is always a special experience, but Katrina’s session at Belle Isle in Richmond, Virginia, was truly unforgettable. As the sun set over the James River we were treated to a beautiful blend of nature’s splendor and Katrina’s vibrant personality.

Hey there! Let me introduce you to Kate. She is a recent graduate from James River High School and she is attending William and Mary this fall. She plans to study government studies and then she will continue her education by studying pre-law track. Kate isn’t just smart and driven; she’s also got a heart of gold, a love for her reusable straw, and a thing for Aquaphor (I’m right there with you, Kate!).

As summer begins to wane, the warm, golden light seems to highlight moments of transition and growth, making it the perfect time for capturing milestones. Recently, I had the pleasure of witnessing one such moment: Ainsley’s senior picture session at the Historic Tuckahoe in Richmond, VA. Ainsley will be graduating from Midlothian High School and will attend Old Dominion University to play field hockey and she has an interest in majoring in exercise science. With a perfect blend of history, nature, and personal flair, Ainsley’s photos reflect not just a young woman on the cusp of adulthood but also her exciting new journey at Old Dominion University.
