Graffiti Inspired Senior Portraits | West Palm Beach FL photographer

It all started with a glimpse at an amazing wall of art.  From this, an idea was born... a huge idea!  After months and months of planning for this graffiti inspired senior portrait photo shoot it finally came together on a hot and muggy summer day.

We started off at the salon where the salon staff worked their magic on hair and makeup for the first elegant look.  Then, Jessica came with us on-location in West Palm Beach to create this second, more edgy look.  I just love how their hair and makeup turned out!

The crew all wore black and white for their basic pieces.  Pops of color were added primarily through accessories and shoes.  Everyone coordinated well by using the black and white to tie it all together.

Senior pictures that are fresh, captivating, and fashion-inspired is my style.  Finding unique and interesting locations help to make each senior's pictures distinctive and special.  A senior portrait experience with me is unparalleled and epic!  

This is one of my favorite images from our group shoot.  Honestly, I love all of the pictures!  It's probably because I adore each and every one of these high school seniors!  They are an amazing group of young people!

Senior Portrait Fashion Trend - T-Strap Shoes | Wardrobe Wednesday | Jupiter Photographer

High school seniors looking to incorporate the hottest fashion trend into their senior portrait session should not forget about their shoes.  Yes, we concentrate on your beautiful face, but your shoes help give your outfit the finishing touch.

If you want a polished look, for your senior pictures then check out some of the examples of the T-strap shoes I found on Polyvore.  Whether you need heels or flats, or something in between, you can't go wrong with this hot look.

Want a pop of color... add it with your shoes and then coordinate with your other accessories.  Want to give your legs a longer look, then stick with a heel that's in neutral tones.  Want the best senior portraits, then give the t-strap a try!

Sunny Time Stables with Alice for Senior Pictures in Palm City

I have so many incredible pictures from Alice's senior portrait session at Sunny Time Stables in Palm City.  Erica was kind enough to let us use her beautiful white Thoroughbred horse, Sky, for Alice's Tribal Goddess look.  Those are some of my favorite pictures, ever!!

We also had the opportunity to photograph Alice in some additional outfits while on the grounds of the stables.  This is one of my absolute favorites.  She looked so adorable in her black hat and the lighting was just lovely... thank goodness for overcast Florida days!

I love how the deep colors of the gray eye makeup and the black hat really make Alice's blue eyes pop! That, with her white blonde hair... so gorgeous! She reminds me a little bit of Cristina Aguilera.

Go ahead, take a peek!

Beautiful South Fork High School Prom Couple in Stuart FL

I had the distinct pleasure of photographing this lovely South Fork High School Prom couple, Grace and Buddy.  They stopped by Gazebo Park in Stuart to have their pictures taken.  I just love Grace's soft pink gown and Buddy's matching bow tie.  They both looked beautiful (handsome) and were so charming to work with.

Here are a few of the images I captured during their Prom photo shoot.

Buddy and Grace were a beautiful couple dressed up for their 2014 Prom

Grace had on a gorgeous soft pink gown which complemented her beautiful blue eyes.

Buddy looked so handsome in his tuxedo.

I appreciate all the sweet couples (and friends) who stopped by to have their Prom pictures taken with us at Gazebo Park.  We loved seeing all of the seniors dressed up for their special evening.

If you haven't had an opportunity to visit downtown Stuart, you should really make some time to stroll through the shops and beautiful parks that are located in the area.  There are wonderful restaurants there, too.  It's a charming place!

Zafiro rocked out her senior portrait photo session at the park in Jensen Beach

Amid the beauty of the park in Jensen Beach we came across the perfect staircase with great lighting for Zafiro's senior portrait session.  It was such a windy day and the staircase provided just enough blockage to the wind that we were able to snap some wonderful frames of Zafiro.  Luckily we had Luis, her friend, there to help with the equipment, too.  As we walked around the park, we came across several areas that became a welcome respite from the wind. Zafiro's gorgeous long dark curly hair was twirling and swirling in the wind.   I just love how her red pants add such a great pop of color to the image without taking away from her beautiful face.  Zafiro is such a darling.  I couldn't get her to stop smiling.  Every time I asked her to give me her serious face, or her fierce look, she started cracking up.   It's a wonder that her makeup didn't start running down her face... OH YEAH... it wouldn't do that because it's airbrush makeup.  Airbrush makeup lasts for a very long time.  It is water resistant so it withstands the complications of the humid Florida weather,.. and cracking up so much your eyes start tearing!
Here is one of my favorite images from our photo session with Zafiro:

Carmen's Studio Senior Portrait Session in Stuart

So much of what I do is from the heart.  I just love working with my high school seniors creating an exceptional senior portrait photography experience for them.  I remember when I was in high school and how impersonal the senior portrait photo sessions were.  The lackluster images and lack of creativity in the portraits certainly did not make for a unique and personalized experience.  I remember how I felt getting my senior portraits done, too.  I always felt awkward as  a teenager and the "cattle call" style of the photo session made me feel even more so.  My main reason for specializing in modern portraiture for high school seniors was so I could show them and make them feel just how perfectly beautiful they are.  It's my mission, so to speak.  So many times I see my girls turn around in the makeup chair, see themselves for the first time, and cry.  Then again, at their Premier Ordering Session, they cry some more (along with mom and dad).  My seniors are so overwhelmed with their incredible experience and beautiful portraits that it has a lasting effect on them... in an absolutely positive way.  It almost seems as if they glow during this time.  Right from the very first phone call inquiring about our photography services we want our seniors to feel special, valued, important, individual, and most of all.... know that they are beautiful!  What better way to celebrate your high school senior year with glorious portraits that will last a lifetime?!
Carmen is one of our Martin County High School Class of 2014 seniors.  She is such a treasure.  We've photographed Carmen in our studio and on-location.  She loves her portraits so much, she keeps coming back for more!  She's a natural in front of my lens.  Here is one of our studio portraits in both color and black & white.  Which one do you like better?  I'd love your feedback so please leave me a comment below.

Thanks, Carmen, for being a dream client.  We know you will take the world by storm.  xo

High School Senior Portrait Photography | Jupiter FL

One of the comments I receive most frequently from my senior high school clients is how much they LOVE getting their professional airbrush make-up done with Jessica Casino of Besos Salon.  These young ladies feel pampered and really enjoy this aspect of their senior portrait experience with me.  It adds to their enjoyment of the whole process.  Professional make-up application is important for so many reasons, especially bringing to life, for the camera, highlights and best features of each persons face!  The camera reads things a little differently than the naked eye so it's important to make sure you don't look washed out on camera and that you have no shine.  Most girls don't realize how important it is to have that even matte finish on the face.  Jessica is a pro at contouring and bringing out all of their best features.   Jessica is very attuned to the most current styles and hip looks, so she can create what the girls are looking for, whether it's soft and feminine, urban, glamour, etc.  You name it, Jessica can give you just the right look.  Many times the girls will search through magazines and online for ideas for their make-up and hair.  They bring their ideas, and, in consultation with their make-up artist, create a very special look that is totally that senior girl!  This is such a special time in their lives and they are making the most of it.

Here are a few before, during and after photos from McKenzie's senior session with Jessica and me.
PLEASE CLICK ON THE IMAGES TO MAKE THEM LARGER:

And, of course, a favorite part of the make-up is the ...., yes, you've got it.... the eyelashes!  Oh my gosh.... the girls go crazy for the falsies.  So cute, I tell ya!

For a limited time, I am offering a very special opportunity for class of 2013 seniors... book a session with me to occur before March 9, 2013 and you will get the special treatment from professional make-up artist Jessica Casino!  Yes, that's right!  You heard it here!  She is going to do your make-up and hair for your photo session for FREE!!!
