Here’s another Multi Image Blend piece of a senior I photographed recently.  I do these Image Blends to tell extraordinary stories, and I think they are far more impactful than a traditional head and shoulders portrait.

Meet Jacob – a Falmouth High School Senior with a purpose.  While other kids were hanging at the beach this summer, Jacob worked full time as an electrician.  He also started his own commercial landscaping company, and has all the responsibilities of a small business owner.  But what really sets him apart in my mind is his sense of civic duty.  Jacob is a volunteer fireman, and would rather fill his spare hours keeping Falmouth safe than goofing off at the mall.

Thanks for looking.  I think this poster shows our mission at Focus Photography – to create extraordinary images of unique individuals.  I hope you like it.  Will

Nice, right?  We headed to the beach a few days later, and Grandma came here as well, and so did Jordann’s boyfriend.  The tide was out, and we took some really pretty shots with the tidepools. Early in a beach session (about 90 minutes before sunset), the sun is still really bright, and sunglasses are both a practical, and stylish accessory.

Then the dress came out.  I always try to get a prom dress from the women at the beach sessions, because I love the contrast between a formal dress, and a casual beach.  We took these just around sunset, and I thought this was as good as the session would get.

Whenever boyfriends, girlfriends, siblings, or other friends come to someone’s session, I try to get them in a few shots.  So I thought I’d have Jordann’s boyfriend hanging out in the background, just sitting on the beach.  And as he was sitting there watching, Grandma shouted from the parking lot to the boyfriend – “Take your shirt off!” 

Wow, right?  Go Grandma, hurray prom dress, and Jordann’s boyfriend (also named Jordan) is her perfect fashion accessory.  Thanks for looking, and Jordann – Awesome.
