09.10.10 - Clare [SENIORS '11] Maryland

So with less than a week before moving 500 miles south west from New York to Indiana, I decided it'd be a brilliant idea to drive 300 miles south EAST to Maryland.

Makes a lot of sense huh? I was actually driving out there to shoot a wedding that I had booked earlier in the year not knowing that the time frame would be so close to moving since the move came VERY quickly.
(Wedding will be blogged next week)

Clare contacted me about doing her senior portraits during the summer. She was actually living and working about 20 mins from where I lived in New York on Lake Chautauqua most of the summer but again, driving 300 miles to do photoshoots just seems a lot more logical than driving 20 mins :)

Anyway Clare did an excellent job as you can see from these pics! Clare it was a blast working with you!

Colin was one of the students in the youth group I used to pastor. I was able to shoot him the morning before I left for Maryland to do a couple of gigs. Here's a couple of my favorites.

Emily was a camper of Jess' at Camp Mission Meadows a few years back. She was a complete trooper during our shoot, walking through a ton of high grass with bugs and weeds so we could get the second shot down with the wildflowers. Jess and I had a blast shooting with Emily and she did an awesome job.

06.09.10 - Alex [Maryland Seniors 2011]

I actually taught Alex guitar lessons when she was in middle school. She's been a fan of my photography for a while. She even interviewed me for her photography class! Way before she was a senior, she told me she wanted me to shoot her senior portraits. Well the time has come and I was glad to. She did an AWESOME job.

Upgraded to Lightroom 3 and am very happy with some of the new features. Watermarking being one of them. I'm getting some logos designed up currently I'll let you know how that goes.

If you're interested in working with me for your senior portraits contact me! jimjessbaker (a) gmail (.) com
