Maggie - Montrose Downtown Houston Senior Portraits

I photograph a handful of young artists every year, and they're often some the most thoughtful, interesting, and delightful bunch of seniors I meet throughout the year.  Maggie, whom I had the fortune of photographing a few weeks ago, is a high school senior that has had her own photography business for two years.  She's never been photographed professionally before, and it was a real privilege to be a part of her senior experience as well as her artistic journey.She reminded me so much of myself; although I was not nearly as accomplished as she was at her age.All I can say is, Shine On Maggie!  Never stop chasing your dreams and being the vibrant influence that you are. httpv://youtu.be/W9-VxMHs3nw

Isn't this color wall paint wall so much fun?

The wind totally worked in our favor this particular day.

Towards the evening when the sun set, and there wasn't anymore light outside, we stopped by my studio for an impromptu studio shoot with Maggie's prom dress.  Maggie's facial features and her prom dress were perfect for the look I had planned when I commissioned my backdrop.   A few months prior, I commissioned one of my seniors/young artists (Stephanie) to paint a navy/aquamarine backdrop for me in the style of Annie Leibovitz for Les Miserable poster.  Here is the beautiful result...Annie + Gatsby style.
