Graduation Portraits.

Besides doing graduation portrait session at our studio and on location, we are the official photography studio for Bambi Day Care Center and Red Lion Elementary School, where we cover portraits, candid photos and events throughout the year and graduations in May. So, these past months were busy ones for us. While child photography is definitely one of my favorites, graduation portraiture is also one of the most challenging events of the year. Just imagine setting up a group of 25 two-year olds for a perfect shot! How about five or six groups like that? For individual portraits we could definitely get away with a lot less variety in posing, but I am a perfectionist and I refuse to limit the parents to one or two photos. So, we usually end up with 10-12 images per child, plus couple of enhancements and a collage. I also try to include a few shots with siblings and even best friends. It is in essence a mini photo session for each child. So it may be a little over the top, but the parents love it and the kids seem to have fun too!
