We absolutely love senior portraits! There’s just something about seeing the spark in a graduate’s eye. The way they see the world and all its possibilities never gets old. New things become possible as your senior or graduate transitions from one stage of their life to the next. One of our favorite things to do for senior portraits is go on downtown photoshoots. If you look past the concrete and steel, lies the heart and soul of a city waiting to be discovered.
Life’s most precious moments deserve to be captured and preserved. We had a wonderful opportunity to capture some great senior graduation photos with Permian High School graduate, Aydali, in Odessa.
Aydali will be graduating Class of 2021, and plans to study business in college.
Our senior session with Aydali shows how much faith we should be placing in our young people. We love senior photography because it always gives us the expectation that our future is bright.
In choosing locations, we take into consideration the personality, hobbies, and personal interests of the graduating senior. Because Odessa is Aydali’s hometown, we chose Downtown Odessa for her senior portraits.We start our downtown photo session in a parking garage that we’re sure has stories to tell. In this quiet, unassuming area we see Aydali’s graceful confidence shine through. High school senior portraits give us the chance to showcase the young man or woman in their proudest moments.
Strolling through Downtown Odessa, you get a sense of what is to come. The mix of established and emerging businesses reflects the lives of the high school seniors we meet. A young adult formed and guided by loved ones ready to take the next step in their lives.
A hopeful graduate. A hopeful city.
Making our way through the downtown area, you can see Aydali’s eyes brighten when describing her future. She wants to be a business owner some day. What kind of business she isn’t sure of. We feel confident she will be sitting at the head of the table leading a team of her own some day.
We also make stops at the First United Methodist Church building and the Side Bar and Grill. The owner of the Side Bar and Grill is extremely friendly and very warmly invites us to take photos in the picturesque patio area outside the restaurant. Our last stop is in front of a mural that seems fitting given this young woman’s appreciation for the arts.
As high school senior photographers, hearing the laughs and seeing the smiles on the graduates we shoot is what we live for.
Congratulations and a job well done to this senior!
