Lincolnton, NC Senior pictures
Sophie from West Lincoln High school in Lincolnton NC was on my senior model team and I worked with her for over a year on many different shoots. Her senior session was one that will go down in the books. Its one that I talk about still to this day and mention it to every senior I work with. Im talking about the time that Sophie passed out in her session. We had been shooting for an hour or so and we were outside in the backlot of my studio at the greenhouse set. She hadn't been drinking enough water. I didnt know that at the time though. I was setting up the shot and she suddenly became lethargic. I had her positioned just where I needed her for the shot and she moved forward. I was just about to say "no I need you to back up a little" when she just fell completely forward and literally collapsed in my arms. Luckily I was able to catch her. Her mom panicked and Sophie quickly came to and asked "what just happened." We got her some water and she was fine for the rest of the shoot. This is why I always encourage each senior to drink plenty of fluids before and during there session. :). Funny thing is she had cheered her whole high school career in the heat and exhaustion and never once passed out. That was the first time that had ever happened to her.
Senior girl waterfall pictures
In the preparation phase of Sophies senior session we had discussed where she would like to do her on location portion of her senior session. I had scouted out a location and found a dam that had a waterfall and rocks and things that would make for some incredible images. I imagined getting shots of her not only in front of the waterfall but actually IN the waterfall. The only problem was that it would be a "treacherous" hike and climb down a barrier and many rocks and hazardous things to get to it. I would not only have to get her safely down to the location but all of my gear as well. I was determined to make this happen. So I asked her "Sophie, I have an idea... do you trust me?" She without hesitation said "I absolutely trust you!" I love it that she felt comfortable enough with and around me to trust whatever crazy idea I had. Well, we made the hike to the waterfall safely and got some AMAZING images that I still love today. Not only that but she had an incredible time. This is another reason why I love specializing in senior pictures. Most seniors are up for doing anything and want out of the box images. I love to make that happen for them
