Sometimes seeing a client gives you a vision that is perfect for their shoot.  In this beautiful session below, Judy of Judy Bodden Photography says that she saw this client’s picture on Facebook and immediately knew how she wanted the shoot to look.

“I loved her style so I sent her pictures of the direction I wanted to go in,” said Judy.  “I found out she loved music and playing her old vinyls so I told her what I had in mind and she was all for it!”

What do you want this session to convey about this senior and about your senior photography style?
This is the first Senior session that I shot with this type of Bohemian feel.  I loved the natural rustic feel. The young lady was a dream to work with.  From start to finish, the light was amazing!  I hope that this session will convey to new clients that they can feel free to be themselves.  I love to listen to their ideas and incorporate my ideas to come up with an awesome session we will both have fun doing.

What is one tip you can share with other photographers regarding photographing seniors?
Most Seniors are uncomfortable in front of the camera at first.  My tip is to take your time and really talk to them and get to know them.  I like to make small talk and be goofy in between shots. They might think I’m dorky but that’s ok.  At least I can get a genuine smile.
