Adding A Theme To Your Photo Session

11/28/2023

A big shoutout goes to Claire Baur and her family. Claire's senior portrait session was scheduled, rescheduled, and rescheduled once more due to rain. I spent considerable time on the phone and exchanging emails with her mother, who was incredibly positive and easy to communicate with. I've had this idea to incorporate a vintage bike restored by my brother-in-law into one of my sessions. Inspired by Susan's friendly and open manner, Claire's mom, I thought they might be the perfect fit to include the bike in the session.

During one of our conversations, I proposed the idea of incorporating the bike to Claire. To my delight, she enthusiastically agreed. Learning that she had just returned from Amsterdam, where she rode a similar bike requiring backward pedaling to brake, put me at ease regarding safety.

When Claire returned in her second outfit, I was stunned—it perfectly matched the color of the bike! It felt like fate.

Regrettably, I didn't get the chance to meet Susan in person as she had a work trip that weekend. I eagerly anticipate the day when we finally cross paths. Thanks so much Baur family for letting me have change to do what I love to do.

If you are interested in a themed session of any type, please get in touch with me. [email protected]. I love creating these shoots. They are a lot of fun.

Here are a few examples that I have done with my amazingly willing family.
