Hattie Sue (great name, huh) is another of our wonderful Class of 2013 Senior Models from Durango High School. We photographed her senior model session in the library, down by the river, and in an alleyway near the studio. We started with hair and make up at Hair Fusion, of course, then Hattie put on her prom dress and we headed to the library. I hadn’t photographed a portrait session there before and it was so fun! We used the long aisles of books for their great leading lines and repeating shapes – they made for great framing and composition. We then discovered the reading room and did some silhouettes in there. Then we headed outside and down to the river. We had Hattie splash around in the river and twirl around in the sand. Then we played with the dandelions and in the grass. Last, we came back to the north end of town, near the studio, and used the neighbors blue fences and barn wood walls. Hattie was so much fun to work with and was up for everything we suggested. I’m so in love with her portraits and can’t wait wait to share her music video so you can see them all! in the meantime, hope you love these few of my favorites!
