High School Grad Portraits

Hi, my name is Alex. I am a student at Westdale High School currently in grade eleven. In the US, I know that High School Grad Portraits (or Senior Portraits as they known there) are very popular. After doing some research, and getting excited about the potential outcome, I decided I wanted High School Grad Portraits as well. I have never had my photos taken before and I was very excited to see how it would go.  At first I was a little nervous, but when I was ready to begin my photo shoot, Marta made me feel right at home. We talked about my school interests and extra curricular activities as well as any general interests I had. Marta understood me very well and quickly came up with an idea of what she wanted the pictures to portray based on my interests. I love outdoor activities as well as photography, animals, shopping and music. We decided it was best to do some outdoor photographs as well as indoor. After we decided on locations we looked at the clothing I brought. Some of my favorite items were chosen to wear for the shoot. I had my makeup and hair done professionally at the studio. Our first location was set outside. Along side with me I brought my dog, Kaiser and my mother Liz to help out. Marta started photographing my dog and I outside in various places around her studio. I love her studio because it is in an industrial area with lots of cool factories with brick walls and old wooden doors. We took advantage of the scenery and got some great shots. After  the first set of shots, my mother took my dog home so we could finish the rest of the photo shoot. After a long and hard day of posing and looking pretty, I realized that I had a lot of fun. Marta is an amazing photographer. She made it a very pleasant experience and I would love to do it again! I would defiantly recommend Marta Hewson!
