Some of my first professional photography opportunities were senior portraits.  These days, I don’t do nearly enough of them, which is a shame since seniors are some of my favorite subjects!  Of course I love all the work I do, but I was very excited to go out and shoot some senior portraits with James this year.  James suggested one of his favorite downtown locations for his session, the Indiana World War Memorial.  I instantly loved the idea, and the monument provided us with a great variety of portrait locations.

I’m not sure if this pose is actually “allowed” or not, but we knew the end result would be cool so we decided to try it anyway!

I thought it would be cool to take a picture in front of this engraved cornerstone, an while we were taking it, I noticed the shot below, which I think I like even more than the original.

This was taken by the fountain in the park next to the war memorial.  I love how the blue in the water brings out the blue in James’ eyes!

As a side note, James’ father happens to be my gardening neighbor!  He provides great company and conversation during my long hours of weeding.  He also writes a blog called A Commoner’s Life full of warm and humorous stories which you should totally check out.
