Last week I got to photograph my cousin-in-law Mohammad for his senior portraits. I can’t believe it! He’s already off to college next year! Moe let me know that his school’s deadline for senior portraits was the following day – yikes! – so we had to make the most of what little time we had. Although I shoot senior portraits all the time, this was quite the challenge. We had to get some great shots and avoid freezing to death!
Since Ohio was covered in a blanket of snow for the first time in 5 years, we decided to try and make use of the backyard instead of venturing off into some obscure part of nature.
All of the portraits were taken in a 10 square foot area, but as you can tell, a little creative framing can make each shot unique and dynamic.
We finished up in 10 minutes – yay us! – and in that time we got some gorgeous shots! These are photos that Mohammad said were his favorite! I had so much fun shooting with him and I wish him the absolute best time at Ohio State! O-H!!
