Over the past few years I had the joy of photographing Emma’s two older brothers for their senior portraits. This year it was Emma’s turn and she wanted something totally different. She decided to do her session in two parts … first we scheduled a day in the studio to create her formal portraits as well as a series of fashion personality images, then we scheduled a second day at Philippe Park in Safety Harbor.
“Oh my” … that is all I can say! Each image from her session was more stunning then the next and I truly had a hard time editing down her gallery.
After selecting a few absolute favorites to hang in their home, even her mom couldn’t say goodbye to the rest and ended up purchasing one of our custom designed art books. Check out the video of the book below.
Here are a few of my favorite images from her session … to see the rest you can hop over to our newly released Senior Portrait Website www.cloud9seniors.com !!! There is a version of this blog post on that site with even more stunning images from Emma’s session.
