Lauren's Senior Photos -- Dallas Senior Portraits

Lauren just blew me away!

It's a rare treat for me to get a high school senior who is as into vintage clothing and photography as Lauren and her mother, Laurie, are!

So Lauren brought me a vintage 1940's coat dress, hat with veil, and a vintage 1940's suitcase with all original travel stickers.

Lauren is one of those seniors who just has "it" in regards to being posing perfectly and easily, and having a gorgeous face that looks like she could have easily been a 1940's movie starlet, while looking totally at ease in the modern world. She rocked her vintage photos, her modern studio photos, and we had a TON of fun with my first Trash the Dress session of the season!

Lauren is one of my favorite seniors from the Class of 2010!

Enjoy these! I know I still do!

Pablos Family Portraits

Theresa was the senior I took the snow photos of in February, and in May the entire family came back to have some fun family portraits taken!

I suggested we use the creek where I take Trash the Dress photos, for an usual natural location.

As you can see from the photos, the Pablos family had a lot of fun, and we got some great portraits out of the experience! I will get the chance to take the family's youngest daughter, Carly's, senior photos in a couple of years, when she graduates with the Class of 2012!

Katie's Senior Photos -- Plano Senior Portraits

Katie didn't think she photographed well, but I proved her wrong with these gorgeous photos! I love showing people their true beauty! It's so rewarding!

Katie went to Plano Senior High School, where she was on the soccer team, and is from the Class of 2010.

Haley's Senior Photos -- Hebron Senior Portraits

Haley is from Hebron High School's Class of 2010, and she was an absolute joy to work with!

Bright, and fun, and laughing, and a talented dancer to boot! We had a lot of fun, and I captured some gorgeous senior images of her!

Victoria's Senior Photos -- Dallas Senior Photos

Victoria is strong, smart, beautiful, and has great taste in clothes and can pose effortlessly. So of course her senior photos turned out great!

Victoria is from the Class of 2010, and we photographed in Deep Ellum and in studio. She was one of the first seniors to try out my Ring Light, and it has been the biggest hit of the year for me. EVERY senior wants photos with the Ring Light!

Christian's Senior Photos -- Plano Senior Portraits

I don't get that many senior guys, so it was great having Christian from Plano East Senior High School come in for his senior pictures!

We wanted that cool, old Hollywood look, and we got some fantastic photos of him that made his female classmates swoon!

Christian is from the Class of 2010, and I'll be photographing his two twin sisters from the Class of 2011 this year as well!

Aeysha's Senior Photos -- Dallas Senior Portraits

Aeysha was lucky senior #2, as she came in a couple of days after our big snow storm in February, and still got a few snow shots right before the snow melted.

Aeysha has such a pretty smile and a bright personality!! She is also from the Class of 2010!

Theresa's Senior Photos -- Dallas Senior Portraits

Theresa was one lucky senior in February of 2010, when we took her senior photos!!

We had a record-breaking 12 inches of snow on the day she came for her photo shoot, the most snow Dallas had EVER had in it's 150 year old history!

So after we did her indoor photos, I asked if she wanted to go down the street to a local park and take some photos playing in the snow!

With Theresa's dance background on the Bishop Lynch Drill Team, she looked pretty graceful out there in the snow! We were freezing and getting soaked with the big, fat snowflakes pouring down on us, but we were having so much fun that we didn't want to stop! When we couldn't feel our fingers or toes anymore, we had to come in.

It's so great to get the chance to create truly unique senior photos that NO other senior at her high school got to get! (We never get snow like this in Dallas, so senior photos in the snow are pretty much unheard of!)

Theresa's Dad was soooo happy with the snow photos! He said he had always dreamed of photos of his daughters playing in the snow! Theresa is from the Class of 2010 at Bishop Lynch High School!

Enjoy, and think of cool snow in these hot summer months!
