GRADUATION . 2019 LGP GRAD MODEL TEAM . BOHO

In case you missed my first blog post explaining what the LGP GRAD MODEL TEAM is and why I created it, you can find it HERE.

All of the grad clients of LGP are invited to participate in these events days, which can feature anywhere between one to three different themes throughout the day. This BOHO theme was a fun contrast to the other BRIGHTEN UP concept we also shot in the studio on the same day.

MAKENNAH | RED DEER PHOTOGRAPHER | GRAD 2016

Today on the blog, featured is Makennah's 2016 Graduation session. I had met Makennah for the first time when she visited the studio with her mom and sister for the Mother's Day Event - and couldn't wait to have her visit again for graduation!

If any of you know what springtime is like in Central Alberta, you know the weather can change in minutes.  And that is just what happened halfway through Makennah's session. So, along with capturing a few moody images with the storm clouds, we ran inside the studio once the rain rolled in, brought out the studio lights, and went to plan B. Creating a few editorial style, edgier looks.  Which we all loved.

KADIE | RED DEER PHOTOGRAPHER | GRAD 2016

I'm so excited to feature Kadie's Grad Session today on the blog. When I met Kadie for her pre-session consultation, she knew she wanted an in studio, editorial style shoot, with a touch of confetti for good measure. And that's just what we did. 

Also, after having a peek at her beautiful dress, and learning she had a love for interior design, I knew a few shots with the floral backdrop (wallpaper) I had on hand would be fun to play with. This is why I our pre session meeting is so important. A chance to collaborate on unique ideas that are really YOU.

KATELYN | RED DEER PHOTOGRAPHER | GRAD 2016

At our pre-session consultation Katelyn knew right away that an in studio session would be perfect for the type of portraits she wanted.  And I couldn't have agreed more!  

It's incredibly important to me, for my studio clients' sessions to feature two - three different, unique looks.  Not only to represent different aspects of their personalities, but it also happens to be just a little (okay, a lot) more fun. 

Traditionally, graduation photos involve a cap and gown and 5 minutes of the photographers time. It's my hope, to personalize this extraordinary milestone and celebrate the ending of one chapter and start of another. Therefore, graduation sessions are completely customized, by working together with my clients and to collaborate on their session in order to truly show who they are.

And of course, this post wouldn't be complete without a few extra details from Katelyn's session....
