A question I get asked a lot is "When should we do Senior pictures?"I think there are three trains of thought. 1) First thing in the school year, following the annual tradition of taking that "first day of school" picture throughout the student's life. 2) Mid-year - usually January or February - around the time yearbook pictures are due (this varies from school to school of course), in order to replace that really boring one they made you take at school. 3) End of the school year (May/June) documenting the end of an era, and getting those wallets for graduation announcements.
I have a lot of Seniors in the 1st group to share this month!
I didn't know it at the time - but I was shooting royalty on this Senior session. Just a few days after this session Ms. Chelsea was crowned the 2011 Cranberry Festival Queen! For the first time the Cranberry Queen now gets to represent Bandon and the festival and hopefully win herself some scholarship money competing in the 2012 Miss Oregon Pageant next June! You could be looking at the next Miss America! :)
Hopefully this is the first of many photo shoots for this talented lady!
