This is Kendra. I photographed her this past weekend at the O’Brien’s family gathering for Easter and to celebrate Rosalie’s Birthday. Anyway, she’s graduating and what better time than now to take these photos of her. She’s glowing in her youth and this is why I love to photograph High School Seniors.

What a wonderful treat to spend my morning photographing the O’Brien Family.  In the center is mom & dad, John & Rosalie who’s birthday was the whole idea behind getting everyone together and having a birthday party and to have this American Family Portrait.  There are six family in all, with 30 people total, what a big family.  It was a challenge to bring everyone together I know, even so to get them like this for this portrait.  My assistant David and I took about 20 minutes setting our gear together and another 15 minutes to get them all in their places and another 5 getting them sound with vibrant attention,  30 seconds later the work is done.   After this big group photo we broke into individual family group photos which I plan to post them in the coming days. Kendra 4 spots to the right from Rosalie is graduating and so is her brother Bradley (next to her) so we spent some time taking portraits for their  Senior Year announcements. What a beautiful family!  A big thanks to my friend David Vevia for assisting me this morning.
