Rock Climbing at Gus Fruh – Senior Photo Session

Rock Climbing at Gus Fruh – Senior Photo Session

This Class of 2021 McCallum Senior enjoys rock climbing, so Gus Fruh was a natural pick for his location. I’d never been to this part of the Greenbelt before, but it was mostly empty early on a Sunday morning.

Seaholm District & Butterfly Bridge – Senior Photo Session

Seaholm District & Butterfly Bridge – Senior Photo Session

This Class of 2021 McCallum Senior picked the Seaholm area for her portrait session. One of my favorite parts was seeing other Senior photo shoots going on at the same time and having the girls shout to each other across the Butterfly Bridge: “You look amazing!

Long Center – Senior Photo Session

Long Center – Senior Photo Session

Senior Photo Session at the Long Center

The Long Center is one of my favorite spots to shoot at for a Senior Session – there’s such a great variety of backgrounds and architectural details to play with. (Just double check they aren’t having any events that day!) And I really love it when the Senior doesn’t mind climbing up on walls (safely, of course) on the top floor of their parking garage as well.

 

1. How did you choose your location for your session? We went with somewhere we thought would have cool, urban backgrounds. We also considered South Congress, but it is too crowded.

2. What advice would you give to other Seniors planning a photo session? Wear what makes you feel comfortable and have fun with it (which is easy with Stephanie).

Please check out some of my favorite images from this McCallum Senior’s portrait session below and contact me if you’d like to book your own photo session.

Seaholm – Senior Portrait Session

Seaholm – Senior Portrait Session

This lovely McCallum Senior requested a colorful outdoor location for her portrait session. After sending her mom some choices, we decided to meet up in the Seaholm/Butterfly Bridge area.

Exploring different murals, street art and architecture, this comic book artist and future scientist was game for climbing bridges and searching for the best backgrounds.

South Congress – Portrait Session

South Congress – Portrait Session

Lucy on South Congress

This talented high school Junior sings, dances and acts. For her portrait session (with all of South Congress as her stage), we made sure to get a wide variety of headshots and poses she can use for her auditions. And since her name is Lucy, one of my favorite moments was her dancing backwards in front of Lucy in Disguise. She was a pure delight the whole time we photographed (and being an excellent older sister, double checked to make sure she could make it to her brother’s band concert by the time we were done – which she did.)

We visited all my favorites spots to photograph on South Congress: Jo’s Coffee shop, Hotel San Jose, Hopdoddy and more. The Jo’s Coffee Shop ones look like film stills to me.

1. How do you know Stephanie Friedman Photography?

I know Stephanie Friedman Photography because we live in the same neighborhood

2. What was your favorite part of your photo session?

I honestly don’t think i can choose a favorite part of the photo session. It was incredibly fun and I felt at ease the whole time, there was never a moment where I felt uncomfortable. As we went along, being shown the pictures was amazing, I’ve never been able to really like myself in a photograph until I saw these pictures.

3. What advice would you give to other High School students planning a photo session?

I think the most important thing for High School students to remember is that they should be themselves and just have fun with the session. Don’t stress about whether or not they will look perfect, because if you relax and just have fun with it, the photos will undoubtedly turn out stunning
