Val and Vicki Seniors 2013



Valerie and Victoria

I had the opportunity to photograph these two lovely young ladies this fall.



This photo session was twice as much fun, Val and Vicki are twins!  I have known these two since they were babies so to say I was super excited to be doing their senior photos would be an understatement.  I wanted to make sure that I captured not only the unique personality of each of these ladies but also their relationship with each other.  


These poor girls....their session got rained out not once but twice.  Some photographers have all the luck and never get rained on.  I seem to have to opposite problem.  I did not want to have to call them to reschedule for a third time.  The day of our third attempt could not have been nicer!  The lighting was great, it wasn't too hot or too cold and the bugs that had plagued Ravensburg Park the entire summer were all but gone.  


We had so much fun during this session, these two are a laugh a minute.  Towards the end of the session it was mentioned that from all that smiling and laughing their cheeks were getting tired so I showed them one of my favorite tricks that I use...."the horse".  (Imagine the sound that a horse makes....puff up your cheeks and blow all of the air out between your lips.  Not only does it relax your facial muscles; it provides comic relief!)  After I demonstrated for them there was PLENTY of laughter.  From that point on pretty much all I had to say was "horse" and they couldn't keep a straight face!

Below are a few of my favorite photos from their session:
