Cherryville High School Senior Pictures

Gracie from Cherryville High school is another one of those seniors that is just as sweet as she is beautiful.  When I first met her and saw her gorgeous red tinted hair I knew I wanted to photograph her!  I had the privilege of working with Gracie many times as she started on my model team towards the end of her junior year.  We created many incredible images together.  Gracie has one of those looks where I can say "now give me serious" and BAMB she nails the serious face look dead on!!  

Gaston County Senior pictures 

Funny story about Gracie's senior experience.  That was the day and session where I destroyed my drone.  We were shooting some images of her in our parachute dress.  I brought the drone up into the air to get footage for her custom senior film.  I was doing a full length pull away shot and I was watching the screen on my phone but not where the actual drone was going.  I didnt realize that I was flying it backwards straight into a tree line.  I heard chop chop chop chop and realized what was happening but by then it was too late.  The drone came crashing to the ground with the camera separated from the drone. That drone hasn't flown since.  :)

Senior Tennis Player Pictures

Gracie's session began in the studio.  We created several different looks.  One was a silver foil backdrop with some pink gel lighting.  I was happy with how those images turned out.  For her on location portion of her session she wanted to go to her high school, so we made our way to cherryville high school where we created images of her letter jacket and tennis racket.  Gracie was a tennis player so she wanted to incorporate that into her senior experience.  We always try to make each senior's session special by adding their hobbies and interests into their day.  We captured many great images with the sun backlighting her gorgeous red hair.  Then we had the unfortunate drone incident..... After that we finished off her session in Downtown cherryville where we got some really cute images.  One of my favorites is where she was walking down the the middle of the street wearing her hat.  Her mom ended up ordering a wall portrait of that image.  As mentioned before I was fortunate enough to work with Gracie many times on various shoots, including Charleston SC, and Greenville SC in the fall and many other times.  Gracie was one of those seniors where I did not want her senior year to end because of the wonderful relationship that I felt we built together.  Gracie loves Jesus, and I know that if she continues to put Him first she will succeed in whatever she does in the future.  

Ready to schedule your senior portrait experience?  Not sure where to start?  It begins with a consult.  Get on my calendar.  I would love to talk.
