High School Seniors from across the country. {Pixel Chicks photography}

Here are some great looking seniors from across the country...

I'm Laura Stetser with Laura Lynne Photography and here are some senior favs...







I am Cindy Harter :) I am so proud to be one of the Pixel Chicks. Seniors are one of my favorite things to shoot because these kids are as adventurous as I am about getting the picture... I have been known to climb up on things , lay down in the street, go out on a rock in a river... whatever it takes to get the image that we know we are dying for... I enjoy hearing them talk about what they love and where they want to go from this point. It is such an exciting time and I have a really good time. I had such a hard time narrowing down the images to show you.... so I chose a FEW... The other pixel chick photographers are some of the most talented women out here in this field !!! We ALL have such a passion for our cameras and more importantly we share friendship and give support to each other in all areas of our lives..

the first picture is of MY senior.... my baby is a senior this year... I can not believe the youngest of my five children is a senior !!!!!!!!














Here are some more great looking seniors from across the country...












Hayley here... :) This past summer I have met some awesome seniors from the Class of 2010. I love working with seniors as well. Like Cindy, I have been known to do some pretty crazy things to get a shot. It's nothing to drive by an alleyway in town and see me laying in it...LOL. Hey, what can I say, anything for the shot, right :) Seniors are so fun to work with, they all have their own unique style and it's my goal to make their session reflect that :) Here are a few of the awesome seniors I've met this year!!

A Grand Opening

Alli here: I am so happy to announce the opening of my studio in Littleton, NH. It is in an old factory that has been refurbished to house artist studios, antique dealers, a massage therapist (conveniently right across the hall from me!) and other businesses. It is this wonderful creative space that offers endless possibilities for shooting a wide variety of studio and outdoor portraits.

The studio:

This was taken outside the studio on the grounds:





If anyone ever stops in to beautiful Littleton, NH- please pop in and see me! ~Alli

A wedding...

Denise here... our poor blog has been sorely neglected lately, so I thought I'd post some favorites from a wedding I shot this past weekend. I dont shoot many weddings, but this one was such a blast I am thinking I will probably start doing more of them!

This was immediately following their first kiss as they came back down the aisle... I just love the look of joy on the bride's face!


These are a little out of order, but this was during the ceremony... you can see how he adores her!

The bride and flower girl showing off their beautiful flowers...


Isnt she just beautiful?????


After the ceremony we strolled down to the beach... it was a beautiful blue sky day... not ideal lighting for photographs, but I think we did okay...


Ahhhhh.... romance!


Again, she looks soooooo happy!


And of course... a kiss! (I had some fun with the processing on this one)


We'll try to do a better job of keeping up this blog... come back and visit us soon!

POTD at Shutterbugs

Here's a fun one for me. It's not that usual that I get a POTD of my own kids! Part of it is that I don't do "real" sessions for my kids like I should. But, on Tuesday, I got a whim to buy some fish for them. It was spring break. It was yucky outside. And we needed something to do. So, here's the shot. And it's a Photo of the Day today at shutterbugs.biz.

Hayley Here...

Hello readers :) I am just finishing up editing this session and thought I'd share some. Actually I am known in the group for being really bad at picking a "couple" images...so you get image overload with me...LOL :)
This session was a lot of fun and what I loved the most was the mix of photos I was able to get. The baby was 6 months old and she sat very well on her own which made it easy to pose her in things like cute tutu's, hats, bowls, etc. But for me, what made this session extra special was this family allowed me to just sit back and quietly observe life for them. So I was able to capture wonderful interaction shots of mom and dad playing with the kids, or the baby just laying playing with her feet. Also the older sibling played at her craft table for awhile and I have some shots of her doing that too that I love (but like I said already had image overload...LOL). It is always such a huge honor for me to go into a session and be able to be apart of a families ever day life.

All photos were shot with my new 5dmkii and my trusty Tamron 28-75 2.8 lens. These were all shot natural light. In the more posed shots, the light source was behind me.

This first one is really one of my faves. If you aren't familiar with my style, I like to use dramatic light and b&w's to tell my stories. And this was has those key elements. And you match that up with her eye contact...and wow it really gets me. :)

Enjoy the pics :)








Thanks for stopping by :)

Photo of the Day at Shutterbugs

This image of this tiny dancer was selected as the Photo of the Day today in the People category at Shutterbugs.biz. I just love this beauty's little fingers as she ties her shoes. And her pretty face and falling hair. So pretty!
