Laura is a Junior and Waukee High School and was our first House Call of the season.  When we decided to offer House Calls (aka in-home sessions) to our senior portrait clients we hoped and expected that the homes would provide rich opportunities for more diverse and natural images that reflect the client’s personality.  In Laura’s case, we found exactly that.  Laura’s home is on two acres that includes a small wooden bridge crossing a creek.  This made for a great setting for some outdoor portraits.  And because it was close to home, it gave her a chance to grab some outdoor outfits she might not have thought to bring to our studio or another location.  Her bedroom was painted her favorite color (bright green) and provided a great setting for some casual portraits of her relaxing with her fashion magazines - one of the ways she spends her free time.  Even if she thought to bring a couple dozen fashion magazines to our studio, we would never be able to capture her as relaxed and at home as she was in her own bedroom - even if it did resemble a photo studio for a brief time.  Laura’s home also has a beautiful long window-lit hallway with a contemporary wooden backdrop at the end.  It was a great place to capture how beautiful she looked in her full length dress.  We’re really liking these house calls and hoping Laura likes her senior pictures.
