Music, Nature, and Passion: High School Senior Portraits by the Lake // black and white

A high school senior plays a guitar by a lake

I recently had the pleasure of photographing a high school senior doing what he loves most - playing his guitar by the lake. As a lifestyle photographer, I love incorporating personal elements into my portrait sessions, and this was the perfect opportunity to do just that.

The setting was stunning - a quiet spot by the lake with a picturesque view of the mountains in the distance. As the senior strummed his guitar and played some of his favorite songs, I snapped away, capturing the magic of the moment.

The light was perfect, casting a warm and inviting glow on everything around us. The senior's passion for music was evident in every note he played, and I worked to capture that energy in my photos.

But it wasn't just the location or the music that made this session special. It was the genuine joy and enthusiasm of the senior himself. His love for playing guitar was infectious, and I couldn't help but feel inspired by his talent and dedication.

This session was a reminder that senior portraits don't have to be stiff or formal. By incorporating personal interests and passions, we can create portraits that truly capture the senior's unique personality and spirit.

So whether it's playing guitar by the lake or practicing a sport at the local field, don't be afraid to bring your passions into your senior portrait session. These are the moments that define us, and they deserve to be captured in all their glory.

I feel grateful to have been a part of this session, and I can't wait to see what other passions and interests my future senior clients will bring to the table.

Love your photographer,

Anna
