I’ve photographed a lot of senior boys this fall! Here’s another handsome guy we photographed in November.

Check out this gorgeous young lady and her stunning blue eyes!

We had a great time photographing this handsome young man at the the country club in Morrison.

We included some family shots, too!

I’m playing catch-up here (the story of my life) so I’m going to keep my text brief in order to post more images. I promise to post daily for the next several days to catch up.

First off, a gorgeous senior girl I photographed a few weeks ago.

I’ve photographed a lot of senior boys lately! The girls are coming, though…several are on the schedule for this fall!

Of all of the football fields I’ve used for portraits (several) Morrison’s is my favorite and I’m not just saying that because I live here.

This session was great fun, as they run an organic dairy farm. I loved learning about how the farm operates!

About 5 minutes after this shot it poured. And I mean POURED.  We could wring out our clothes. This shot was worth it, no? A beautiful family.

But our main focus of the evening was this young man’s senior pictures.

Yet another high school senior! It’s been a busy season of soon-to-be grads.

I’ve had a bit of a blogging block lately. A writer’s block, really. I have many great images I want to share with you, but I postpone doing so because I cannot think of the words to do justice to how amazing the clients are that I work with.  I feel like I repeat myself in saying how nice and friendly and good-looking and fun-loving my clients are, but it’s all true. I’ve had outstanding luck in that the people who choose me to do their portraits are incredibly, amazingly, nice.  I guess people who are not nice probably do not value their family members enough to have quality photos taken. Not to say all nice people DO have photos taken.  I, for example, have not had a photo taken with my family in at least two years, but I think more like three, and we’ve never had a professional photo shoot. Once when my son was two he and I did, but as a family, we have not. How sad is that?

Back to business, here. Let me share with you one fabulously nice young man whose photos I was lucky enough to take a few weeks ago in Clinton, Iowa.  We did a few down by the river and then skipped on over to the golf course.

This particular area of downtown Clinton has several different types of wall surfaces all in one block. It’s like a little natural studio right there.

Old bricks are the best. I think the urban look is my favorite of all.

And old, peely wooden doors.

Old alleys

Old windows…

Rusty metal…seriously, studio photographers have “fake walls” made of all of this stuff in their studios. It was a great area!

And down to the water!

My favorite!

On to the golf course, where they have made a bridge out of an old railroad car.

We photographed yet another stunning senior girl this month! This time, we headed over to Sterling, IL, at the Dillon home. I love this location as it has a huge variety of settings in which to use.
