Senior Portrait Session :: Phillip [Elizabethtown]

Last weekend's sunny warmth was a welcome relief amid a few weeks of uncertain weather here ~ and Phillip's family homestead was a wonderful location for his senior portraits. This 2010 Elizabethtown High School senior is currently a member of the lacrosse team and looking forward to the team's first-ever district playoff this later today (GO BEARS!) Besides playing lacrosse, he also enjoys creating music~ playing guitar and more recently, piano. Phillip will be headed to Lock Haven this fall to major in geology. Here are a few of my fave images from his portrait session... even though he has amazing green eyes, I found a new b&w post-processing preset that I love with some of the images, and his hair and skin tone was a perfect fit.

I am also booking portrait sessions for 2011 area high school seniors for June and July~ I have limited openings, so don't wait!

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.)

Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation (NILMDTS) gently provides a helping hand and a healing heart for families overcome by the grief and pain of the death of their newborn or infant. Offering gentle and beautiful photography services in a compassionate and sensitive manner is the heart of this organization. The soft, gentle heirloom photographs of these beautiful babies are an important part of the healing process. They allow families to honor and cherish their babies, and share the spirits of their lives. I am an active NILMDTS volunteer photographer for Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and Lancaster Women & Babies Hospital.
