Remembering Roots with Senior Portraits

The senior year is both a beginning and an ending…..as childhood ends, the future awaits. While you can’t photograph the future, remembering roots with senior portraits is a subtle way to record childhood memories from the past.

One of the requests for Ashley’s senior portraits was to capture the area where she grew up. With a fabulous array of historic backgrounds in Ft. Madison, Illinois and stellar posing expertise from Ashley’s sister, Autumn, the session went smooth as silk.

It was unusual for me to work with a sibling who did everything she could to make her sister look fantastic. How impressive is that? Both Ashley and Autumn were fun, funny, and I think they even laughed (or did they just roll their eyes?) at my corny jokes.

Think we have some great shots here. Wouldn’t have missed this one for anything, except for maybe a Hot Fudge Sundae at Shoney’s. (Southern joke – Bob’s Big Boy to all you Westerners.) Here are the images we captured.

To Ashley:

What a great time we had in your photo session last Fall! You were like a pro model and turned this senior session into an awesome, fun and even funny shoot. Autumn was so great with her suggestions. She seemed to have a sixth sense for all the right poses and locations. In the end it turned into a longer session than planned but it was so worth it.

Thanks again to Ashley, Autumn, and the entire family for the sweet experience.

All the best,
