And now for part II of Robyn’s Senior Portrait Session. When I asked her if she wanted to be a guinea pig for some new stuff I had been wanting to try, I had lighting in mind. Lots of lighting. Maybe you remember this session, it helped me see where I wanted to go with Robyn’s senior portraits. And I knew I wanted to go one step further and get a little more landscape involved in Robyn’s portraits, so we headed east of town to get some portraits with a little ‘post-apocalyptic’ feel to them. Natives of Fort Smith and surrounding areas probably know where I’m talking about, but since we were asked nicely to vacate the premises (signs were posted everywhere BUT where we went, I don’t trespass intentionally), I’ll leave the location a mystery by not saying where or showing off some of the more ‘really-tell-tale’ images. Anywho, on to part II…
p.s.
An interesting, if hard to believe, fact about the last two images: they’re in chronological order. The first one where Robyn is sitting in the middle of the road was shot at 7:19pm, whereas the last one with the sun behind her was shot at 7:31pm. Pretty crazy what you can do with some serious lights, huh?
Here’s a quick sneak peek of Robyn’s senior portrait session from the other day. She drove all the way from Bryant, AR to Ft. Smith. I hope they think it was worth it (I do, but I didn’t have to drive all that way)…
of course, if you liked our facebook page, you could’ve already gotten a preview of these…

Now for the rest…
what do you get when you cross a sax and a violin… I dunno either…
yeah, marching band will do that to ya’
ps
Matt brought the frame (and the sax) with him to his Senior Portrait Session - So if you want to add something like this to your session, just bring whatever fun props you want and we’ll work ‘em in. I’m still waiting on someone to bring some crazy wig and giant glasses or something…
