Lucas | {SENIOR}

Lucas wanted to do his senior photos at his high school, which was a great idea! I've never shot at this particular school, so it was a great opportunity to find some new textures and colors. Shelby and Diamond (his two dogs) also accompanied us as we walked around the exterior, but I'm fairly sure they were not overly interested in photo taking.

Lucas is one of my senior reps, so make sure to get a referral card from him and bring it in for $20 off a senior session.

Peyton | {SENIOR}

My ears certainly perked when Peyton told me she had procured a baby-grand piano at a local college for her senior photos. I'd never shot portraits of anyone w/ a piano before, and I immediately saw in my mind's eye the black and white below of her playing. After leaving the small hall, we went outside on the grounds for a few more, praying that the dramatic sky would not produce a dramatic reschedule. The rain held off and eventually we made our way out to the fringe of town to capture the gorgeous sunset and a few on a road that has a special place in her heart.

Peyton is one of my 2011 Senior Reps - find her to get a card worth $20 off any senior portrait package. Or just find her to tell her that she rocked these photos.

Mackenzie | {SENIOR}

Mackenzie is one of my fantastic Senior Rep's for this year, so seek her out to get your referral card! Begin looking anywhere where dancing is in full swing, or if you happen to se a volleyball game spontaneously erupt. Her session marks the beginning of my 2011 senior season, and she knocked it out of the park with her great sense of humor and lovely style. We started out at (a flooded) Swiss Valley where I promptly stepped in water up to my ankles, and then moved downtown for a more urban feel. Some of my favorite images of the year are below - which one do you like the best?

Enjoy.

Become a Senior Rep!

Happy Monday everyone! Hope everyone's doing as well as can be expected on this usually draining weekday.

We're excited to announce that Pitman Photography is starting a 'senior rep' program for the class of 2011! We're looking for fun, artistic and outgoing 2011'ers to help 'rep' our unique brand of senior photos in their respective schools. Two students from each of the major schools in the area will be chosen. Being a rep is simple and easy. Once you've applied and been accepted you'll receive a stack of personalized senior rep cards - pass these out to as many of your friends as you can. If a senior comes to me and brings your card in with them, you get marked down with a point. After achieving (x) amount of points, you'll receive a special prize. There are several tiers of awesomeness that you can achieve - all involving free stuff. Easy right? See the image at the bottom for some of the things you can earn.

Send me an email { graeme@pitmanphotography.com } if you're interested. I'll send you back the application for you to fill out and email back.

To be eligible you must:

{ - Be a senior in the graduating class of 2011 }
