Creative senior portrait session ideas I would like to try

Inspiration from my friend Selley Paulson

I just got delivery of a blog post by my friend Shelley Paulson of Shelley Paulson Photography. In the post she explained that she loves doing portrait sessions around old abandoned houses. Dilapidated and overgrown, they provide such opportunity to have creative and different portraits. Here is Shelley’s post about an abandoned Frank Lloyd Wright style home which had been abandoned for many years. The roof was caved in and it was overgrown.

This session was with two sisters, but it got me thinking about some options that I would like to try for senior portraits here in the Dayton area. If you would like to try one of these options for your senior portrait session, I am offering a $50 discount off the creative/session fee to the first one who calls with a cool idea. Oh, and you have to have the location in mind. It has to be a place you know. How fun is that?

Here is my list:

• Dilapidated, abandoned barn

• Abandoned farm equipment

• New farm equipment of the HUGE variety

• Abandoned rusty OLD car

• Abandoned warehouse or factory of some kind

• A barn with lots of antique farm tools hanging around

Help me grow this list

If you have an idea you would like to pursue just call me to discuss it. Call Peter at 937-478-6222. If you have ideas to add to my list that’s fun too, feel free to add a comment here.
