H. H. Dow High Sports Session

It’s been a hot minute since I took any sports pictures for my seniors. I forgot how fun it was to integrate a sports item in a shoot! Chloe here is a basketball and soccer player for H. H. Dow High School, and I loved that she wanted to wear her jerseys for her senior session.

Sports at H.H. Dow High School

We started off at her high school with her in her basketball jersey, and I just knew I wanted some shots behind the bleachers. Not only did they provide some shade, but they also added some amazing depth and visual interest. Gorgeous, right?

We also grabbed a few shots in the sunlight on the bleachers themselves. I love this next one.

Chloe quickly changed into her soccer attire, and we headed onto the field for some more sports pictures. She and her mom helped me move the net into some pretty light. Because honestly, it’s all about good light. Although having a good subject certainly doesn’t hurt. 😉

Chippewa Nature Center

After we finished up at the high school, we made our way to the Chippewa Nature Center. It’s seriously my favorite. The light there gets me every time. Speaking of which, I think now’s a great time to mention that Chloe opted to get her makeup professionally done. The MUA I use is  http://www.beautybycathy.org/. She is amazing at doing natural makeup that isn’t too heavy or strong. She really helps compliment a girl’s natural beauty, and I strongly recommend that any girl booking a senior session with me get her makeup done professionally.

Also, I’m just going to say that I love the outfits Chloe brought. I can tell that she really chose what SHE loves and feels confident and comfortable in. I want all my seniors to feel like themselves and to feel confident for their pictures. This next one just might be my favorite from her whole session.

Next time I blog I’ll finish up her session. Stay tuned because there were gorgeous purple wildflowers involved. 🙂
