    Senior Guy Session (Lowville NY Senior Photographer)

    Wednesday, March 25th, 2009

    I did an amazing Senior Session this past week.  I didn’t do a lot of guys last year and this year I’m hoping to do more of them.  They are fun and I love trying to get them to act natural in front of the camera.

    Here is my sneak peek for this session…
