Teens

is is probably my favorite age group to work with. I picked up Alena and Karla and we headed down to Newport for our shoot and had a blast! It was Alena's 16th birthday not to long ago so this was definitely an important time in her life to capture.Ok so a side note about these pictures. I typically stay away from a lot of effects in photoshop when it comes to my photography. I try to keep it timeless and something you will look back on in 15 years and it wont look outdated. Having said that, with senior portraits or teen shoots I think its different. Although I definitely get in the timeless shots its so much fun to throw in some fun effects. I absolutely LOVED post processing these photos. Here are a couple of my favorites. These two have different personalities and I hope that I was able to translate that somehow.Alena is beautiful and has naturally olive skin that people pay big bucks for.
