Senior Portrait Session :: Zach

The August weather here has been so unpredictable~ seems downpours occur any time of day and a string of thunderstorms last week wreaked havoc on any type of schedule for photographing. Finally, this weather 'tide' has turned and yesterday I met with Zach and his mom, Shawn, on a sunny but warm afternoon. Shawn is a wonderful friend of mine and I graduated high school with her and Zach's dad. I could not get over how I kept looking through the lens and looking at his dad as a teenager! Zach plays soccer for Palmyra High School and, though he's just beginning to contemplate college choices, he plans to continue playing soccer in college and possibly study finance. For his senior portrait session, in addition to the more traditional images, I wanted to try something a little different for the images with his soccer jersey. What do you think?

    Good stuff...Marci you are talented. I like some of the color corrections, desaturation stuff. Zach should be a model for GQ.

Giving Back~ Organizations supported by Circle of Life Photography

In giving back, Circle of Life Photography's main goal is to help those experiencing extreme poverty and nourishing them with food, shelter and spiritual guidance. Education is a big part of helping people learn how to help themselves and change the downward spiral of poverty for a better future for themselves and their children. Locally, a more tangible way of giving back is through using my photography gifts to serve others who are experiencing crisis (see NILMDTS and Pillows of Love.)
