I Declare War On The Senior Pic

So a while back I was looking through one of the yearbooks some of my employees just got & while I was attempting to block out my terrible high school experience that suddenly came rushing back I decided to look at the senior section and ohmygodtheyaresobad. I mean really folks. I'm not saying I'm all that great, don't get me wrong there (I am great but nobody likes a snob), but it is kinda surprising how boring senior pics are. Is this necessary? I think not. I say we start a movement people. DOWN WITH LAME SENIOR PICS.

The shoot below is the senior session I did for my little Iris...who is adorable & perfect & was a great sport even though I made her drive around all day to find all this crap.

Senior Pictures: Agnes Style

So when I think back on the senior pictures taken "in my day" I think of lots of soft focus, maybe some granny hand-beneath-chin type poses & a generally LAME experience. In some ways, times haven't changed TOO much since then when it comes to the dreaded senior pic. I realize that mommies & daddies like that stuff but, to be honest, this blog isn't about them. It's about ME. And how great I am. So below you will see my dude-version of the senior picture. It has a sweet ass car...and industrial shit...and...and... MANLINESS.

Eat your hearts out peeps....

Ok ok...so the paper heart picture isn't manly. Shut up. I'm a girl & I like hearts so I made him do that one.

Revisiting The Senior Portrait...

Soooo, I haven't taken Senior pics in a good 7-8 years so needless to say I was a touch nervous to take Karmen's. Luckily, she's cute & was completely willing to roll with my need to incorporate weird shit into photoshoots. Also a lucky break, my dad collects weird stuff too so I was able to score a sweet oscilloscope & some vintage headphones for the shoot. At least we're classy hoarders....

She even brought her Viola to the shoot under the condition I don't take a cheesy band nerd picture of her. Duly noted....

I honestly am looking forward to my next series of senior pics...I got so many good ideas from shooting these! Gah! Excited...
