Backyard Senior Pictures in Pittsford NY: Gabriel

High School Senior Pictures

May 26

Written By Lori Coleman

Gabriel is a Pittsford Sutherland High School Senior who came to us for some simple, but fantastic senior pictures.

Sometimes, your backyard is all you need for your senior portrait session. That and a great smile! Gabriel is an actor, so smiling came natural to him in these headshots. And since he and his family were planning to move, the backyard served as a convenient, and also a nostalgic setting. The trees offered up their natural beauty for late Fall, and I loved the brilliant blue of his old play house.

Best of luck in your endeavors Gabriel!
