I really truly could not decide what to choose to share from Lucas’s senior session. Lucas knew exactly what he wanted from poses to locations, he made our job easy. I think that senior portraits should totally reflect who you are in the moment and what you love. If you are trying to figure out what to wear for your senior pictures, go for what you feel comfortable in. Whatever feels like “you”. Add the places and things that you enjoy whether sports, hobbies or even farm equipment. And that’s just what Lucas did.

We split his exclusive senior session into 2 days. Both days it looked like it would rain but we went with it and got some amazing skies. However, the second night when we did the photos with his tractors and truck, the sky and weather changed so much that night. It was awesome as it gave us so much variety. We went from blue cloudy skies to the sun being out to an amazing sunset as well.

The first night we did a few studio photos and then we went out to one of their soybean fields and then over to his family’s property that had a bunch of old buildings that they have plans to tear down but are a photographer’s dream and made for the perfect rustic backgrounds. I should have taken some plain building photos to make some backdrops of as I absolutely loved the buildings. There was also a cornfield across the road, and anyone who knows Lucas, you know the silly outtake photo of him in the corn is so him and if you look closely you can see his youngest brother in the frame as well. I had thought of photoshopping him out, but it was just too cute and such a great memory.

For Lucas’s second part of his session, he had picked out a gravel road with the windmills, corn, and the sun setting behind. Such an awesome spot. And making it even better, all the changes in the weather we had that. The evening ended up giving us so many different and beautiful skies. It was so hot, crazy humid, cloudy, windy, then it rained a little, and then the sun came out just before sunset. It was perfect! We also were able to get some family photos, but I will have to share another time.

Congratulations, Lucas! Thanks for choosing us to capture these memories for you and your family.
