Yep, you read the title of the post correctly, this highschool senior drove all the way up from shamokin for her highschool senior portraits. We started out with her “formal” yearbook images and then we went out and found some cool locations!! She told me that someone just the day before told her the she is the least photogenic person… and it broke my heart… please, please never tell someone that!! Here is my proof that they are so wrong…

Middletown Highschool Senior…

August 20, 2009 – 7:00 am

I met up with Amanda for her highschool senior portraits. I just love how fun she was to be around and her willingness to try all of my crazy ideas… I try and make every seniors session a bit different whether its a new location or new posing ideas…
