The Stephanie Newman Photography Journal

I think this session might be one of my favorite senior sessions of the year. Lindsey brought her mama and future sister-in-law to her session and I cannot tell you how many times I had to stop from photographing Lindsey to finish laughing at something her mom or her sister-in-law was doing to make Lindsey laug

Every senior session I book, I have my seniors fill out questionnaire, to get to know them a little better before we spend time together. Luke’s questionnaire mentioned that he has a love of collecting records and T-Swift aka Taylor Swift.

Zoe blew me away during her senior session. Not only did she nail everything I asked her to do for poses, but she also told me she’s finishing her high school career at three different schools. DANG!

Not gonna lie, I probably said, “Oh my gosh Ruby!! You are so pretty!”, and squealed with delight, about 2943 times throughout this session with my niece. And given how many actual pictures I take throughout a session, that may seem like a lot, but it wasn’t.

I have certainly hit the jackpot when it comes to photographing seniors this year. All my seniors have been fabulous in front of the camera and behind it as well. Truman was no exception. Truman was my last senior session of the year and I’m so thankful that he was.

Justina had the most perfect timing when it came to scheduling her senior session. The colors of the leaves were at the right time of the year where everyone swoons over how beautiful they are

What can I say about this session other than that Kathryn totally rocked it. From the outfits to the locations she picked, even the weather was just perfect.

During her session Kathryn and I chatted about what her plans were for after she was done with school. She plans to first, take a fun vacation with her friends out to the Boston area and then go to college somewhere.

Joe told me when discussing his session that he wanted to incorporate a car (a 1979 Pontiac Firebird) that he and his dad have been working on together as a fun father-son project. Which, his big plans after graduation is to go to school to become a mechanic just like his dad.

This girl just totally rocked her session though. I put on some music to make it more fun and she just went for it. I mean, she didn’t get me odd looks when I sang terribly out of tune – purposely, to a song that was playing or when I had to walk out onto a dock and freaked out because I hate water.
