Having your client right next door means you get to drag her out of bed for top secret shoots before school!

Jesse got some fun new colour in her hair to kick off her senior year. Her mom had planned on it being gone before we did her senior session but Jesse loved it and wanted some photos with it still in! I agreed that this fun & funky look should definitely be part of her album! So to get the best of both worlds, I suggested we do a mini shoot before they had the colour changed back.

Kids in our area spend almost an hour each way traveling into the city for school each day. This will be her seventh year on this bus run with the same driver. I thought it would be neat and a little different to incorporate that into some photos. The only problem with that is the bus is on its own schedule and doesn’t stop and pose for you.

We got out there at 7:15, got a few test shots with the light and then the bus was barrelling down the hill towards us! It was an exhilarating 30 second shoot and we got her shot! We managed to keep the whole escapade under wraps until we showed the images at the ordering session. Mom & Dad were surprised when the images popped up in the slideshow for the first time but loved them!

Side note: Jesse’s blue is still going, it has muted somewhat but definitely not gone. Stylist is impressed with the unexpected longevity of the product. Mom… not so much. haha!
