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.

Autumn’s Senior Session

Last summer I had the pleasure of photographing this Class of 2016 Valley Tech senior, Autumn! Although it was a bit muggy, we had a great time with her session! Autumn, her mom and sister brought along chalkboard signs so we could create a fun montage featuring her graduation year.

Check out this standout statuette we created, which is perfect for displaying at your graduation party! (below)

Although she finds leaving high school to be bittersweet, Autumn is looking forward to graduating this Spring.

Zack’s Senior Session

I had the great opportunity this summer to create a truly unique and different senior session for this Blackstone Valley Tech senior, Zack. In addition to more traditional portraits, taking the photos at his home allowed us to incorporate all of Zack’s favorites into his session – from his Jeep and dirt bike to his beloved St. Bernard’s, Jabba and Zeus.

After graduation, Zack plans on participating in the ROTC program at Norwich University and then pursuing a military career.

Edward’s Senior Session

I had the pleasure of photographing another class of 2016 Blackstone Valley Tech senior, Edward. In addition to working as an intern in the Design and Print Center, Edward enjoys being involved in the volleyball program at the school both volunteering with the girls team in the Fall and playing on the Boys Varsity team in the spring. This of course meant we had to get a few shots of him in his favorite volleyball gear 😉

“Monique is a consummate professional, but makes the senior portrait process enjoyable for the client. The final product is what you would expect from the combination of professional and enjoyable – outstanding photos that capture the essence of the person, their personality and their spirit in the most natural and complimentary way possible. We could not have possibly been happier with Edward’s senior portraits. They are keepsakes we will cherish forever.” – Louise Taylor, Upton

Rachel’s Senior Session

Last summer I was very excited to photograph this wonderful class of 2016 Blackstone Valley Tech senior, Rachel. After getting her hair and makeup done by my friend and professional hair and makeup artist Beckie Davis, we met up on a beautiful August day at one of my favorite places, Riverbend Farm.

One of Rachel’s proudest academic accomplishments is her success with the SkillsUSA organization. She is a two-time gold medalist for the state of Massachusetts (which earned her a seat at nationals) in the Photography competition, so of course we had to feature that in her senior portraits.

Rachel has yet to decide which school she wants to go to, but intends on pursuing her degree in graphic design and photography. I can’t wait to see where your career takes you — you have exciting things ahead!!!

Lilly Turns 3

This August I had the pleasure of photographing this little cutie, Lilliana, and her family for her 3rd birthday. We met up at Riverbend Farm on a perfect summer evening for this session. We had so much fun running, playing and laughing – and captured so many great shots, it’s so hard to narrow it down!

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’s Senior Session

Leave a reply

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!
