Picture Perfect {Senior Photographer, San Antonio}

I absolutely love high school senior photoshoots.  i don’t get the opportunity to do them often because wedding season in San Antonio tends to be year round.  But this love is perhaps fostered because one of my favorite loves was being a high school science teacher for so many years.

High school seniors are so fun, funky, fresh, and full of life, I swear when I am around them I feel 20 years younger, hip, funny, and have more skip in my step.  This is Miss R and she is fun and all of those things previously mentioned.  I met Miss R while doing a photoshoot and she loved the click-click-click of my shutter.  On this day she asked if I would be willing to take her senior pictures for her. This event was nearly a year and a half ago.  She knew she wanted me to capture some images for her, she just simply waited for the time to pass when she could officially call herself a “senior”.  Miss R showed up to the photoshoot and her hair was beautiful and her make-up was just right.  She was ready to rock the camera.  Mom and dad were not so pleased that she did not straighten her hair to perfection, perhaps in rememberance of the little girl pony tails (it was always so hard to let go).  However, after the prints came, they (along with the perfectness that Miss R and myself new they would be) realized, “Yes, it was perfect…perfect for us”.

This helps me to think about the fact that sometimes we continue to wait to take a photo because we need to cut/color our hair, loose weight, buy a new outfit, wait for the perfect light, wait for a pimple to go away, etc.  Instead we need to just capture the moment for what it is and who we are.

Congratulations Miss R and lots of fun as the adventure begins!
