Senior portraits at the school - {Albuquerque senior photography}

My next senior portraits are for this really great guy. Originally his mom had asked if I could do pictures with him and his friends. Then their schedule changed, but we still did some portraits at the school, and rescheduled the friends photo shoot for later. I'm so glad it worked out, because it was a great session and I love how they turned out.

His mom had the idea to use this sign.  I have to admit I hadn't noticed it in the past, but it was perfect for senior portraits.  I love the colors behind the sign too.






One thing I've been serious about this spring with senior portraits is off-camera flash.  Our blazingly bright mid-day sun here in Albuquerque is so hard to use for photographers.  We tend to head for the shade, but this year I decided that the blue sky and full sun is worth working for!  I've been really glad because this is what is really looks like here, right? 




I love the football shots - I'm always really happy when seniors bring sports equipment or props of any sort.  I think it's so important that senior portraits aren't just a quick shot in a studio - wearing a drape or jacket - but can really highlight your personality.
