Ann Arbor Senior Portrait :: Leslie
Leslie is a senior at Pioneer in Ann Arbor. She’s in the Pioneer Theatre Guild, and from what I hear, also does a really good job at designing + constructing sets. We did Leslie’s senior session a few weeks ago, (before our driveway/landscape project), so in addition to these images being really amazing, they’re also of “historic” value (at least here at the studio!).
And, since we did so many neat different things during Leslie’s session, I might have to splurge a little during this blog post. Let’s start off in the studio — this one of Leslie is cute and casual!

Next, we did something Theatre-related. Well, set-building-related, to be more specific! Of course, there were no sets on hand, so the next-best thing was shop tools. …so my shop vac was brought out of storage!

While Leslie was getting changed into her next outfit, I came up with the great idea to photograph the pairs of shoes she brought to the session. And, what goes better with shoes than feet! In fact, I’m sure you could look at this one as a personality study — because shoes are definitely a reflection of the person who wears them!

This next one is simlpy gorgeous. The sun was going behind the clouds, and the rays of light in the sky make this one of my favorite image from Leslie’s session. Plus, Leslie looks so refined and elegant!

Time for a little fun before heading back for one last outfit… I love the juxtaposition of Leslie’s dress and the no trespassing signs!

And the last one. Here’s that “historic” background I was talking about. Rustic and vintage, but with an ipod and Mountain Dew!

While it is really nice to have that cement driveway, I am very happy we did Leslie’s session before the project. The last set of images turned out really well — and it definitely was the location that helped set the scene, so-to-speak.
Leslie, thanks for a very fun session! I know you will love the images, and I hope your friends like seeing them too!

I cannot imagine a better introduction to Leslie than this beautiful collection of senior portraits. Even to meet her in person would not convey the many facets to her unique personage. This is true for most everyone, I’d imagine. Awesome job Betsy!
