Megan's Senior Portraits

We met up with Megan this week at Stiglmeier Park to shoot her senior portraits. We'd never been to the park before, and it's a huge beautiful park. And, as it turned out, we were shooting Megan on a very important day -- it was the day she passed her driving test. I remember the first time I took the test... and the second... but I digress. Let's get to some photos! Megan was going for a fall feel to her photos, so we started in a really cool grove of trees.

Of course, when we went out, it was dangerously close to raining, so we wanted to get some shots with the softbox in before we got the battery wet and ruined it, so since Megan is a dancer, we started making her jump. I think it came out pretty solid.

So, being that neither of us had been to the park before (she suggested it on a recommendation), we both went to the website. There was this really neat bridge photos prominently displayed on the park's site which we couldn't find. So, we played with a fence with some crazy vines growing on it instead.

Then we hit up the only patch of fallen leaves in the park to rock the fall feel.

There was also this gorgeous pond -- and it had plenty of geese living there. Of course, this meant there was geese poop everywhere, and I really have to give props to Megan for being such a trooper. I think she stepped in it at least ten times and totally brushed it off. Seriously, Megan, you were awesome to shoot!

And a couple of shots to leave you with -- I love the feel of the first one. It feels like it walked out of a magazine ad. And in the final shot, Megan just looks gorgeous so I figure that's a good one to end on.
