I have learned that beautiful senior photography is a combination of amazing lighting, a setting that brings out the subjects beauty, and posing that is dynamic – drawing the viewer right to the eyes of the subject. I got to photograph Rachael in the most idyllic setting. Waterfalls, spiral stone staircases, a mint condition car from the 1940s, flowers, a river, a red barn. Her grandmother’s backyard in Boulder just happened to be a photographic utopia, and we spent two hours finding perfect backdrop upon perfect backdrop for her senior portraits. Rachael is one of those girls who has so much inner beauty that it comes out all over the place in her eyes and her smile. I had such a hard time choosing just three images for this post. Enjoy the peek!
