Senior Portrait at Eastman Museum: Joe
His mother told me that it’s rare to see Joe without a hat on. She just wanted some simple photos to remember her son at this stage, before he heads off into college and then the real world.
For Joe’s senior photos, we returned to the same location where we photographed his sister just a few years earlier: the always beautiful Eastman Museum.
It was one of those mornings where I drove through a passing rain shower on the way to the session. Uh oh.
But it held off for us to make some images. Joe chose the very first portrait for his yearbook photo, a nice casual close up. Then we had fun using some of the different backdrops and textures available to us on the grounds. Rochester NY has so many great options for senior portraits.
Here are a few of my favorites. Say congrats to Joe in the comments!
Have a great year!
