SENIOR PORTRAITS

Alpharetta, roswell
and North Atlanta

Kind words from

Tara Peterson Schoeller

 

Thank you for capturing the true essence of these 2 peas in a pod. Those are the looks & smiles we love & know around friends & family. ❤️❤️ Glad you got them comfortable in front of the camera. Not an easy feat with teen boys!

I’ll call you the unicorn teen photographer.

Most kids walk in a little stiff. Arms crossed, short answers, ready for

it to be over. That's normal, and it's mine to handle.


Most senior sessions are built for kids who like cameras. Yours might not

be one of them.


So I don't open with posing. I open with talking. Ten minutes in, your kid

forgets I'm there, and that's when we get the shot you'll actually hang up.


Nobody needs modeling experience. I'll tell her what to do with her hands.

I'll have him laughing at something before he notices the camera.


We shoot around Roswell, Alpharetta, and Milton, and sometimes downtown for

something different. I pick the spots with you and run the day from there.

You don't plan anything.

FAQ

I use that to build the day before you show up.
