Waubonsie Valley High School Senior Pictures | Naperville Photographer

When I first met with this Waubonsie Valley High School senior, I learned she was a soccer player.  A defense player whose nickname was The Beast.  She had some killer quads, and as we talked, I started to get an image in my head.  I love that she was up for it – that she actually loved the idea of being bruised and battered with a “come get it” attitude.  Being a Naperville senior photographer, I have a lot of access to senior athletes, which is definitely one of my specialties.  I absolutely love creating totally unique images.  It is an outlet for my creativity and always pushes me to create more and new things.  We did her soccer pictures first, on a separate day from the rest of her session last fall.  I love the way this turned out!  It was my first time creating bruises and cuts. LOL

 

We also did some “prettier” pictures, as well, though if you follow my work, you know I always like my athletes to have some edge.  It is my style.  With all that hair, I loved creating the movement with some fanning.

 

Ok, let’s get to the actual session.  This senior is a casual girl, and I always tell my seniors that I want the pictures to reflect them.  So if you are a jeans and T-shirt kid, then wear it!  I love that when we started, she wore just that and went barefoot.  Just goes to show – you can wear anything and get gorgeous pictures!  Now, I normally like to have lighting for my session, but on this day, it was too windy and kept falling over, so we went with natural light.

 

It was hard for her not to look gorgeous.

 

And keeping with her outfit, we kept her posing natural and laid back.

 

Then it was time for an outfit change into something a little dressier, but not over the top.  When we were at this train car, there was a group gathered, and some girl stopped to tell my senior how pretty she was.

 

Then one last outfit and possibly my favorite image from the entire session! This was actually natural light – just found the perfect spot and placement for it.
