2017 Senior Ellie

Last summer I was excited to FINALLY photograph this wonderful class of 2017 Blackstone Valley Tech senior, Ellie. I met Ellie back when she was a Freshman in high school, when she grabbed one of my senior portrait flyers for her mom insisting “I’m going to have you do my senior portraits!” Fast forward three years (and how quickly THEY went) and sure enough here we were, planning out her senior portrait session!

Ellie is quite a unique individual, and wanted to make sure we captured that in her portraits. I love when my seniors bring unique props to showcase their favorite activities and hobbies! An Edgar Allen Poe fanatic, we got photos of Ellie her with her collection of favorite books, her sketchbook, and of course her camera.

Ellie will be attending Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) pursuing a degree in Production.

Lauren Senior

Lauren’s Senior Session

Where do I even start with this one! Lauren is one of the first students I had when I started teaching, which gave us the unique opportunity to spend a great deal of time together planning out her perfect senior session. We spent weeks (ok, probably months!) discussing ideas for her portraits. Lauren wanted a little bit of everything – nature, a bit of a rustic touch (she LOVES country music), and because dance has been a huge part of her life since she was 3, we absolutely had to feature that passion in her photos. On a gorgeous summer day, we headed out to one of my favorite locations, Riverbend Farm in Uxbridge, MA.

“I loved working with Monique! She had a lot of ideas and did a great job incorporating mine too. She is very professional and upbeat. It was a great first experience with a photographer. My family couldn’t be happier with how my portraits turned out, it was so hard to choose which ones to order!”

After graduation, Lauren is going to school to be a pediatric nurse. She plans on continuing to participate on her dance team and playing club volleyball. Lauren – I will miss you greatly next year, but I can’t wait to see where life takes you!

Connor Senior Session

Connor’s Senior Session

I had the pleasure of capturing Connor’s Class of 2015 senior portraits this past summer. I seem to get a lot more female than male clients, so I was excited to have the opportunity to switch it up a bit!

I first met up with Connor at Blackstone Valley Tech to capture some images of him in his football uniform, which he has played there since he was a Freshman. Then we headed over to Riverbend Farm in Uxbridge, MA to capture more traditional portraits. Connor was totally laid back and full of great smiles, which made it easy to capture some great images!
