High School Senior Portraits

Here is some more senior awesomeness... :) This beautiful lady has already graduated but I never got the chance to put her senior photos on my blog and show her off!  I started photographing her 7 years ago (I think??) at a dance studio I do photography for in SWFL. We headed to a downtown area for her portraits...I think most downtown areas are great for seniors.  Plenty of options..brick, old gates, pretty trees, and so on! I always tell my high school seniors to bring whatever props they would like, dance shoes, car, basketball... Jessica brought family fun!  Of course, I have to add some...

Welcome August! It’s hard to believe it is time for Back to School. Although I must say, I’m not quite ready for summer to go…while it is hot, I have thoroughly enjoyed all the summer outside activities with my kiddos. So for about a month now I’ve been working on getting a new website up, which is why for now when you type in www.alisonbeyerphotography.com, it comes here to my blog. So just a heads up! Bear with me while I work on it (I’m not very website tech savvy!). In the meantime, here’s some senior portraits taken of Ashley, class of 2019. This young lady was such a good sport,...

I finally got the results back from the competition I entered last month with my local photography guild back in Florida.   I’ve enjoyed being a part of the local SWFL chapter (Professional Photographers of Southwest Florida) of the PPA and FPP for the past 4 or 5 years. This year I served as the Vice President and Program Director, but now with my move to Wyoming, I will be stepping down. Being a part of this group has helped me in all areas of my photography business...but being a part of the competitions we held 3 times a year, definitely helped with me with my skill level. It also allowed...

Preparing for Senior Portraits: There are lots of lists and tips out there but here are a few things I recommend, as you get ready to have your senior portraits taken. Find a Photographer.  First things first, you need to find the right photographer for YOU! I definitely know my style isn’t for everyone, so it is important you check around and see what you like best. Ask to see the images of an entire senior session (not just the one photo that is on display). It’s also important that you are comfortable with your photographer, someone who puts you at ease. I remember when I was having...

It's crazy we are already in full swing for our 2015 senior graduates...wow, 2015!  Time just keeps flying! Caleb graduated last year and for his senior photos we did a little variety in our location.  I love taking senior photos in a downtown/urban setting because of all the variety it provides...cool old and new buildings, pillars, water, colorful storefronts, etc.  Then to end our shoot, we went back to my studio and took a few more.  This first photo of him in his football jersey (B&W) is my favorite! Enjoy these photos as you start getting some ideas for your own senior pictures! ...

Senior season is in full swing!  We took Samantha's portraits a little while back and what a perfect model with an amazing smile (I'm super envious of her dimple!!).  We covered a good bit of downtown Fort Myers, which always makes for a great backdrop.  And I even convinced her to pick a dance pose in the middle of the street, such a great sport. ;)

It is graduation season!  And as we are gearing up for the summer of photographing the next year's class graduates, we're also finishing orders and books for this year's seniors.  We did Jenny's photos on Sanibel Island, a beautiful beach session.  She brought along a variety of great outfits, from casual cowboy hat to prom dress.  Loved it!  We also lucked out with a pretty amazing sunset!  Congratulations Jenny!

I feel old.  This wonderful young man I can actually remember when he was a baby.  He has always been my dear friend's little brother...and now he has grown up! Where does the time go?  I fear there may be many more posts like this, haha! Anyway, it was a joy to do Joshua's senior photos.  I had a lot of fun and Josh..well he was super patient.  I can't imagine that taking senior photos is many guys highlights, but I'm excited he hung in there until the end!  We covered a lot of ground in the River District (which by the way is decorated for Christmas already, yay!!) and then finished up in my studio. ...

Here are a few quick photos of Scott we did a month or so ago in my studio.  I currently trying to sort through all these shoots from the past 6 months and catch up on blogging!  I thought I would start with this one because it is time for seniors to get their portraits taken!  We are still running our Senior Special (HALF PRICE SITTING FEE!) from now until the end of September.  Call or email me with any questions or to book your H.S. senior portraits!

Kaylee has been my little advertiser! She's been so sweet to pass my name along to her friends.  I was so excited with all her fun ideas that she wanted to do for her senior photos.  She told me she wanted really different locations, which sent me on a hunt for some new sites!  I loved her balloon idea, such a fun prop.  Kaylee is definitely a fun-loving, full of life, sweet young lady!
