High School Senior: Alana
December 1st, 2012
Alana loved riding horses and a lot of things that has to do with horses. Unfortunately, it was expensive to keep and take care a horse. However, these obstacles didn’t stop Alana from her wish to ride horses. There was always an option to rent a horse and get riding lessons from the owner of the horse or hire a coach. This was exactly what Alana had been doing. She rented a lovely horse, Echo, to get riding lessons. Echo was kept at one of the best horse boarding facility in Maryland, the stables at Wyndham Oaks at Boyds, Maryland.
Alana also learned dressage from one of the equestrian trainers from Europe at the stables. In fact, she and Echo have gotten few awards from dressage competitions. Way to go, Alana!
Alana was also a High School senior. Her mother stumbled upon my site one day and decided to have me do Alana’s high school senior portraits with Echo. I was very excited to do senior portraits with horses again.
After going back and forth to come up with a date that works for everyone, we found a perfect date in November. We were lucky that it happened to be a warm day.
Here are some the photos from that day.
Portrait: Lindsay [Black & White]
November 7th, 2012
I met Lindsay through my good photographer friend Sabawa. I meant to do a high school senior photo session of Lindsay, but it was too late. She just graduated.
Fortunately, she still wanted to do the session anyway.
The photos in this set are all in black and white, because it seems to fit the mood, the shadows, and the light.
High School Senior: Tyler
November 1st, 2012
I met Tyler through his Dad, Todd. I knew Todd because his company was the one who fixed the drainage problem on my yard. They did a really good job and just in time to test it out with Hurricane Sandy! Check out their Web site here: http://www.baysideirrigation.com/.
When I met Tyler the first time, my first reaction was, “You really look like your, Dad!”
Tyler just smiled and said, “Yeah, a lot of people say that.”
High School Senior: Sierra
May 17th, 2012
Sierra is a beautiful person inside and out. Not only she is kindhearted and friendly, but she always seems to be happy all the time.
She is one of the three girls from Beyond the Veil, a contemporary Christian music band. Check out Beyond the Veil’s website where it has link to some samples of their music that you can listen to.
Sierra will be graduating soon from Kent Island High School and will be attending to Azusa Pacific University where she will be studying Communications. She is considering in acting as well. I think I can see her being a famous actress one day.
High School Senior: Kelly
August 25th, 2011
Kelly was a senior from Kent Island High School. She loved to play volleyball and even supported the school’s volleyball team. Kelly also loved almost anything that had to do with water sports like swimming, boating, tubing, and crabbing… oh wait…
Well anyway, Kelly wanted to do the senior photo session months ago. Unfortunately, it was just about a couple of months away from her graduation, and of course all seniors were really busy at the time. Still, she really wanted to do the photo session and have her pictures at this stage of her life immortalized. So we did the session in Summer, after everything winded down a bit.
Here are some of my favorites.
Mindy + Lemon
November 23rd, 2010
Here is Mindy and her horse pet, Lemon.
Mindy and I have been wanting to do a photo session for over a year (I think), but never got a chance until just recently. Thank goodness for the great weather for that day on autumn. Not to mention I just love the foliage colors in Fall. So the timing was actually perfect.
Lemon was 6 years old, which Mindy told me that’s about teenager for horse’s age. Lemon used to be a race horse and raced at Penn National. Mindy got her after she was retired from racing due to injury. Bless Mindy’s heart.
High School Senior: Marissa
April 15th, 2010
This is my first full session of high school senior portrait. Well sort of…
Marissa supposed to graduate this year along with her other classmates. However, she graduated a year early, and is now in college. Way to go Marissa!
Nevertheless, she wanted to do this senior photo session anyway. I’m honored to have her as my first.
I knew Marissa through Facebook through other friends, and she is one of the most nicest/politest person in FB. I think Marissa is a beautiful person not only on the outside, but also inside.
Workshop with Glamour Fashion Model
September 24th, 2009
I always try to learn new photography skills in lighting, shooting style, composition, photo editing, etc. (you name it). I am also usually fascinated by other people’s work whether they’re pro or even newbie. I often analyze the technical and non-technical aspects if I find an eye-catching image.
One professional photographer whose work I had been admiring was Ben Jordan a.k.a. Sabawa. His style was unique and very eye-catching. Although most of his work was more toward fashion and modeling, I really wanted to learn his style to hone my skills especially for glamour high school senior portrait photography sessions. Of course some of the skills can be applied to wedding, engagement, family, or children photography.
Fortunately, I found out later that he provided individual workshop for pro photographers. I was really excited and immediately contacted him to inquire about the workshop. He offered me to do a session at Annapolis, but I wanted to see his studio which was located at Pocomoke City, Maryland. Pocomoke City is a small town on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, about two hours drive from Kent Island, or two and a half hour drive from Annapolis, but only about half hour drive from Ocean City.
I finally did a workshop with Ben in mid August. He provided a model, Kellie, who had been working with Ben for quite a while. Kellie was a very professional model; she was always ready to pose for us. I learned few things from her as well. We did the photo sessions outdoor, by the water, and also indoor in his studio.
Here are some of my favorite images from the session. You may notice that the style is different from what I usually do. However, the image editing or enhancing is my own style.
