ryan's senior portraits

ryan is a senior this year at LS. he loves the outdoors and science and hopes to study that in college. so ab & i headed to his pastor's property he chose for senior portraits. it was a nicely shaded property with a pond and a trail that led down to a creek. ryan wanted some formal portraits taken and then came out with a batman shirt on as his second outfit! definitely didn't expect that! he has loved batman for years, so his friends told him he had to get some shots with that t-shirt on. ryan, thanks for letting your personality shine through your shoot! enjoy your senior year!

senior shoot...hans

jay & i met up with hans in lancaster city for his senior shoot. we drove around to a couple different spots i like in the city, ending up with a sweet loading dock near our house. i realized a lot of my favs from this shoot were "serious" faces...most people can't help but smile when i tell them to try a serious shot! hans, we had a great time shooting your senior pics. enjoy your last year at lmh!

ashley's senior shoot

ab & i met up with ashley at her grandparents' beautiful property for her portrait shoot. ashley is a senior this year at octorara, plays on the tennis team, and loves her red jeep wrangler. check out the last couple shots of her and her jeep. she had the idea of "mudding" it for the shoot, but decided against it. ashley, i still love that idea, so if you want some sweet shots like that sometime, give me a call! take a look at some of my favs from her senior shoot. the property had so many good backdrops for pictures!  ashley, it was great meeting you...enjoy your senior year!
