Ryan: Class of 2015, Downtown West Palm Beach, South Florida Senior Portrait Session
Posted on April 20, 2014
Ryan is such an awesome young man. He’s a super laid back, killer wrestler with a heart of gold. Even though Ryan and I just “met” earlier this year at church, I’ve actually known Ryan most of his life. I used to take care of him in our church nursery when I was in high school and he was a little kid, haha! But Ryan is not a little kid anymore, he’s graduating high school in 2015 and almost an adult. Time flies!
I am really falling more and more in love with Downtown West Palm Beach lately. We started our session near the water, which provided a great backdrop for some simple portraits.
Downtown West Palm has so many little hidden, beautiful spots, and Ryan was game for trying out several of them. We walked and drove around, stopping whenever we found a gem.
Of course it wouldn’t be a senior session if we didn’t get a little silly! =) I call this series, “Freedom.”
I still can’t quite believe how grown up Ryan looks in these next few. Soon he will be graduating and starting his adult life. It makes me feel a little old!
You want to know why I love being a senior portrait photographer? Because teenagers are up for anything, literally. When I told Ryan to go climb this wall, he didn’t even bat an eye. He just got on up there and let me take these amazing shots of him. And when I told him to stand in the middle of the road (don’t worry, we had a lookout– thanks, JD!), he ran right in.
For the last part of our session, I wanted a more urban feel. Ryan’s varsity wrestling jacket is such a cool personal item of his, and I really wanted to show it off. This art wall was a totally awesome space to do that in.
Thank you, Ryan, for allowing me to capture your senior portraits! I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you!

JD: PBA Class of 2014, Downtown West Palm Beach, South Florida Portrait Session
Posted on March 30, 2014
I first met JD about two years ago at my church. What struck me the most about him was how passionate and devoted he was, and still is, to Jesus. Over the course of the past couple of years, I’ve gotten to know JD a lot better and yet he still impresses me each and every day. He really is an amazing person, and anyone who knows him would completely agree.
To celebrate JD’s completion of his undergraduate degree at Palm Beach Atlantic University, we took some portraits in downtown West Palm Beach near PBA’s beautiful campus.
First we headed to the island to take advantage of the gorgeous water views, and of course, a really big tree!
This area has so many beautiful spots and it really captures the feel of Palm Beach living.
With sunset fast approaching, we looked across the water and remembered that this large graffiti wall had just been completed in downtown. We quickly drove across the bridge and over to the wall to get these last shots with a more urban feel. I love these because they not only capture the uniqueness of West Palm’s urban beach life, but they also so brilliantly capture JD: he is unique, fun-loving, and full of life.
And this is what I like to call, “the money shot.” I love this picture.
Thank you, JD, for letting me capture you at such an important time in your life. I know that you are going to continue to be an inspiration to those around you and accomplish amazing things!
Angela: FAU Graduation Portrait Session: Boca Raton/ Delray Beach Portrait Photography
Posted on March 8, 2014
Angela is a beautiful and vibrant young woman who is graduating with a Master’s Degree in mathematics in May from Florida Atlantic University. To commemorate this amazing accomplishment, Angela and I planned a portrait session that took place on FAU’s campus in Boca Raton and the nearby Atlantic Dunes Park.
The first stop was FAU’s Boca campus, which is bright and lush– the perfect setting for portraits.
We found this awesome FAU Owls logo sign over on the far side of campus, along with a large wall that commemorates the alumni of the school.
Once we were done on campus, we headed north to Atlantic Dunes Park. Since Angela is from Texas, she wanted to have some portraits taken on the beautiful South Florida beach to commemorate her time here.
Angela also pushed me to try something new by using a picture frame as a prop for some shots. I really like how this series came together.
Finally, I really wanted to capture Angela just having fun. She has accomplished so much and I know that she is so happy to be graduating with her Master’s degree. These last few frames were all about just letting loose and enjoying the moment.
I had such a great time working with this girl! Thank you, Angela, for choosing me as your photographer!
Are you graduating from high school or college? Schedule a portrait session with me soon so you will have plenty of time to use your awesome photos for announcements and gifts! Mention this blog post and get a free 8X10 print with your session.
