Sewell Photography : the Blog

Favorites of 2014... wait, what year is it?

If anyone is out there, still reading my blog, thank you for sticking with me!  It has been soooo long since I have posted anything on here, and I apologize for the radio silence.  The good news is it's been a busy year and I have so much to share with you!  I have the pleasure of getting a glimpse into the lives of so many wonderful people, and I want to share their stories with you.  In an attempt to catch up and move forward, I am actually going back to 2014 and share some of my favorite photographs from that year.  I am in the process of giving my website a makeover (I will announce this soon!) and there will be a new blog where I will share all of my favorites from 2015 and on!  Thanks for sticking with me guys, enough talking, now onto why you are here ...

Everyone has their standard "smile at the camera" face that is their go to.  I try to push that to a see if I can capture the real personality behind that typical expression.  These are a few of my favorite photographs from Maggie's Senior Session that I think capture her sparkly personality.

Thank you Kayla for trusting me!  You truly are a unique and beautiful person!

shine

Danny is another member of the Heck family whom I adore.  I took their family photos when their mom was battling cancer and then  his older brothers Senior Portraits a couple of years ago.   I knew we would have fun with Danny's photos since his mom is a photographer as well and gets as excited I do.  I'm glad it is now Danny's time to shine.

family

I have photographed the Holmes family in the past, and I always enjoy hanging out with them.  This time we took Blake's Senior Photos and also some family photos of the whole gang.  They are an inspirational family, and I am so happy to be able to capture these moments in time for them.

back to school

No matter how old I get, this time of year always feels like "back to school".  It also means one of my favorite things, Senior Photos!  I had a great time with Emily taking hers, I especially love the' leaping' shot at the end.

guitar

Ryan is my last Senior Session of the year.  I love doing these sessions and this was a great one to end on.  He is such a cool kid with so much going for him.  He happens to be an amazing musician (electric and acoustic guitar), so I was happy to be able to capture some photos of him in action. 

st. anthony main

Andrew is a graduating Senior at Eastview High School.  We had a great time with his pictures, going around to some of my favorite spots in St. Anthony Main.  I love the one with the couch, you never know what randomness you'll find up there.

"everything around her is a silver pool of light"

I really enjoy doing Senior Portraits.  It's a nice excuse to focus one person's individuality and unique beauty.  Lindsey was a pleasure to hang out with and to photograph.  She was a great sport and hung in there even while getting attacked by mosquitoes.
