Pittsford Mendon High School Senior Portraits: David

High School Senior Pictures

Oct 6

Written By Lori Coleman

While David is smart, ambitious and active in extracurriculars, he wanted his portraits to be more on the natural side of life.

He also wanted a bit of adventure and uniqueness. The sunken gardens at Highland Park always provides a diverse array of backgrounds to work with. Toward the end of the session, we made a unique pull-back shot of him sitting on the ledge overlooking the area. It's one of his favorites, and mine too!

It's been a pleasure getting to know you David, good luck in your final year of high school!
