Senior Portrait Session in North East - Jared's Story
This Class of 2024 North East High School Senior wanted to get in for a Senior Portrait Session in North East before it got too late. It was already January and he hadn’t booked anything yet and the weather was not pleasant for outdoor photos. And with all the end of year senior activities coming up he realized he needed to get in sooner than later. So, Jared’s grandfather, Tom, reached out to book our first ever INDOOR Studio Senior Portrait Session in North East. Normally, our studio is used for newborns, holiday minis and professional headshots, so this was an exciting new experience for us.
Jared didn’t have a lot of big ideas on what he wanted. Just pretty easy going as long as we captured some memories in his Class of 2024 T-Shirt from the high school. We set up a neutral backdrop with a tan wall and wooden floor and brought out pretty basic props, a stool and a ladder, so that all the attention was on Jared. He was very easy to work with and after the first few photos he took right to posing. While we were working through a few poses Jared told me he liked to hang out after school with his friends and shoot some hoops. So, I dug into our box of sporting gear and pulled out a black basket ball that matched his outfits.
The ‘2024’ on the ball was done in gold because for this senior portrait session in North East we wanted to highlight the school’s colors, gold & burgundy. And just for some fun I took one of the action shots of Jared dribbling into photo shop to make it look like he was in an old basket ball court that had seen better days. Like he was just hanging out at the local public gym. Lastly, Jared asked me to take a photo of his tattoo, which I gladly did. After his gallery was finished up and they came back in to view and order, Jared told me the black & white’s were his favorite. I agree. They’re my favorites too.
Best of luck and enjoy the rest of your Senior Year Jared!
