Chris almost had the perfect day for senior pictures.  The weather was nice, but the mosquitos were attacking like crazy.  Honestly I had to edit out more mosquitos in his session then I ever had total the entire time I have done photography.  I felt terrible.  Of course there wasn’t anything I could do about it, but it really took the fun out of it.  I think despite the terrible conditions he did a great job.

I want to start off with this photo.  I love it.  Chris grabbed two guys along side the road and said “hey, you want to be in my senior pictures?”  (just kidding, actually the one of the left is his twin brother)

Stinks how dark it gets so early in the evening.  At least I am getting alot of cool sunset pictures, and even a moon too.

Thanks Chris for not complaining about the bugs, you were a trooper!

Some day George is going to call me up and say… “Hey Jayme, Newsweek is doing a story about me would you fly out here to California to take some photos of me.”  and I am gonna say… “Well, I guess I could try to fit you into my schedule, I will be back from Paris next week.”  (Ha Ha)   Really, this kid is gonna go far in life, not just because he is smart but because he has a great personality and awesome parents that have done their part to make sure he has all the necessary resources to do amazings things with his life.  No pressure at all but I expect great things out of you George!

I wanted to do a photo that represented the fact that George has travelled all over the world the last few years…I really dig this shot..

Okay….here is my favorite part of the shoot.  We just got done taking some shots in the studio and I was setting up for his headshot, he walks up and I turn around to tell him where to stand and I see him in these groucho marx glasses.  I about peed my pants.  Then of course I started taking pictures, then I had him take pictures of me.  It was so much fun.  I just love how I have AWESOME seniors to work with.  Thanks George for such a fun evening of photography.  And I think I need to change my avatar on my photography forums to that photo.  I think it represents my personality pretty good. 

Man, I still can’t stop laughing at this!!!  I LOVE my job.

Huge Thanks to Cody for doing a good job for me!!  Him and his parents had some awesome ideas for poses and locations, which is always welcome because that is the worst part- trying to come up with fun different things since I take so many Knox sudents’ pictures.  Anyways, as most of you know Cody plays basketball and football and that is a big part of his life so we made sure we took lots of shots that showed that part of his high school career.  Just want to give a shout out to all the Knox Football Seniors and tell them good luck at the rest of your season.  Here are alot of photos because I am just in the sharing mood today…..

and here is me trying to pose for Gwen…. (aren’t I such a super model  LOL)  Gwen and I had wayyy too much fun that day.  Next time Gwen you need to give us a super model pose!!!

Steven may be spreading around town some rumors about me that, I am a terrible singer, I don’t know any good jokes, and he might even say that I am dorky.  Well, okay, it is all true!!

Steven had a reallly hard time giving me a smile so I pulled out all my tricks, and at times I even sang to him.  Which for those that have heard me sing you know it can make anyone laugh (yeah I am pretty bad).

So enough talk, here are some of the smiles I got from Steven.   And despite having a hard time getting the smiles out of him, he ended up with some great shots and Gwen and I had alot of fun hanging out with him and his mom.

Riley is super sweet!  She came over for some studio shots then we headed to Plymouth to get some amazing outside shots.  Here are just a few of my faves.  This first one I LOVE LOVE, and I think her mom and dad will too, they were super nice, I almost invited myself to stay for dinner but I had another shoot after Riley’s.  (how where the ribs, I ate at Wendy’s??)

Riley- you Rock! 

Nathan has been to my studio before because he is one of the Starke County Super Seniors.  Here are a few of my faves from his shoot…

hmmmm wonder where he is planning on going to school????

A year or so ago I took Craig’s older brother James’ senior pictures.  To look at them you wouldn’t know they were brothers but talking to them it is for sure they have the same sweet personality.  Craig isn’t a fancy person that is for sure.  His mom wanted a shirt and tie photo and we took that and got it over with and you can tell he was glad and couldn’t wait to throw on his John Gleen football tee.  I wish you luck and a safe rest of the football season!! 

I have had the pleasure of watching Aubrey grow up.  I use to tried to play basketball for her dad and when we would have practice she would be in the gym with us.  Back then Terry had more hair and Aubrey (about 6 yrs old) was nailing free throws.  I have been lucky to photograph her at some special times in her life including the state championship basketball game and now her high school senior pictures.  I want to wish her all the best for her last year at Oregon-Davis!  I hope I get to make another trip in Conseco in March with you Aubrey!!

Warning…lots of pictures.  Her mom is a picture freak and had a ton of great ideas along with the ones I had in my head so I took a ton of shots.

I am not a big fan of sitting in front of the computer and editting but I couldn’t wait to work on these.  I knew when I was taking it that the basketball shot with the setting sun in the background was going to ROCK!  Caley- thanks for doing such an awesome job!  I just love this first shot soooo much.  The sky shots are totally my signature shot.  I think this needs to go on the my site in my main slideshow.  Hopefully I will get time tomorrow to put it there.  Oh and in case you are from another planet or maybe just from another state.  Caley is wearing her Indiana State Championship Medal around her neck.  I realllly hope she gets another one this year, I had sooo much fun shooting at Conseco.

Just one for now Ryan.  Who I know is dying to see his pictures.  I have ALOT of photoshop work to do on the bridge for obvious reasons to those that know the bridge at the Knox part.  Usually it is blurred enough I just don’t worry about it but since Ryan jumped off the bridge and it is in focus I need to do something about it.

Don’t worry I will post a few more previews within the next few days.  Shooting a wedding tomorrow so won’t be until Sunday the earliest.

Frankie brought his little doggie with and I am so glad he did.  Those are my favorite pictures from the day.

Frankie- see ya again in a month or so when we do your family photo!!!  (I think you guys should bring the dog with you- that would be fun)
