As a senior photographer, I am CONSTANTLY scouting locations around Columbus. I often joke that I need a bumper sticker that reads “I am not texting, I am a photographer” because too often you’ll find me driving under the speed limit in attempt to get a good peek at obscure spots that may be fitting for a senior session. A week or two prior to each of my sessions I meet with my senior girls for a pre-session consultation. Amongst other things, at the consult we talk about what she intends to wear for her session. Once I see her style I have until her session day to chose coordinating locations. That is typically one the challenges of my job. I want each location to have incredible light, be memorable to her, unique to that of her friends, all while being convenient in relation to one another. It’s a challenge, but something that I pride myself in; and one of the many things that I believe sets me apart from other senior photographers in Columbus!

All of that brings me to this lovely girl, Aubrielle. When my hair stylist / makeup artist and I went to her home to meet her for her consultation, I quickly learned that her family was in the process of converting an old farm lot into their future home. Of course, when a photographer hears something like that she immediatley thinks LOCATION! Her mom and I set out right away to look at the property and sure enough, we were able to use it for a portion of Aubrielle’s senior pictures; and I couldn’t imagine a more meaningful location than that!

Thanks for a fantastic session Aubrielle, next time let’s be sure to capture you with one of your horses!  🙂
