It was such a pleasure for me to get to work with Aubrie and her senior portraits as they are both captivating. Aubrie, a senior in the Class of 2022 at Hoover High School, held her September senior portrait session at the University of Mount Union and Glamorgan Castle. These locations were a perfect match for her style. And... her outfits were ideal for her portraits. As soon as we met up and created our game plan for the evening, I knew that we would be creating beautiful portraits together.
Vertical stripes are always a win, and we found the ideal setting to make the most of this adorable outfit. Aubrie immediately lit up my camera with that warm smile. Aubrie's friends would say that she is funny and easy-going. I felt that, as our session was relaxed and fun.
After an outfit change into something a little more casual, we moved on to the front campus for a different look. Aubrie keeps herself busy with travel volleyball and is part of the Link Crew student leadership program. In her down time, she enjoys spending time with her dog and her friends.
Aubrie likes the movie Ten Things I Hate About You and the show Gilmore Girls. She is also a Taylor Swift fan.
These great pictures of Aubrie around the pond area of campus are among her favorites. I loved them, too, because the relaxed setting just seemed to fit her so well. It was fun posing Aubrie because no matter how much I bent and twisted her, she looked so comfortable.
It was time for our next wardrobe change and this gorgeous dress was next in our line-up. I can see why her favorite color is blue, as she looks spectacular! Adding some motion to the poses is always so fun. She makes everything look so easy.
One of Aubrie's favorite restaurants is Sylvesters and she really likes steak and chicken tenders. A favorite vacation spot is Cape May. As you can see, it really doesn't matter where I place her, she creates lovely portraits!
We moved on to another adorable dress and drove on down the street to Glamorgan Castle. I knew this sunny yellow would be a striking contrast against the blue-gray color of the stone.
This little nook with the ivy is a favorite spot of mine, and, of course, Aubrie did not disappoint. The covered area allows me to control my light and this is one of my favorite captures!
Aubrie's final outfit was fabulous choice, again. Another choice that Aubrie has to make is where she will attend college. Kent State and Ohio University are both possibilities. When Aubrie leaves high school, she knows that she will miss the football games. She will, however, be happy to avoid the early mornings for school.
What did Aubrie have to say about her senior portrait session?
"I chose Laura Esposito Photography because I loved her pictures on Instagram. I liked the locations and all the different poses. I really enjoyed it. I felt like Laura really listened and made me feel very relaxed. I would advise other seniors to listen to Laura's suggestions (she has great ideas), relax, and have fun!"
Aubrie, thank you for trusting me with your senior portraits! You were an absolute dream to capture in portraits. I wish you all good things as you create your future and I will be excited to cheer you on.
