Although the first day of school felt like yesterday, the seniors are only weeks from graduating and the rest of us only have so much more to go. Juniors, it’s time to start thinking about your senior year. One of the first senior traditions many complete during the warm weather months is a senior photoshoot. June- October is a perfect time for a comfortable photoshoot with beautiful scenery. However, the popularity of these photoshoots makes bookings scarce. It’s good to have these scheduled in the next two months to make sure you have a secure spot.
There are so many local photographers, it can be hard to know who to go to. If you love a good flower field, beach, or nature in general, I suggest booking with Liesel Pattee Photography. Liesel is from White Marsh, MD and specializes in senior photography. Liesel does an amazing job at capturing aesthetic and natural beauty through her photos. However, her business doesn’t just end there. Liesel also offers mini sessions and vision board sessions to highlight the creativity and personality of her clients.
Don’t believe me? Just ask anyone who has worked with her. Ali Kargbo, a student at Edgewood Highschool took part in her vision board session. After working with her he says, “I loved working with her because of her welcoming aura. I was nervous but that all changed when I was able to comfortably laugh for candid pictures and have real conversations with her. She was so sweet and constructive”. Tessa Grove, a senior at North Harford booked her senior photos with Liesel. She says, “I love how much she understands how awkward photos can be. She is the sweetest and is always complimenting you which makes the shoot so much fun and enjoyable”.
We were lucky enough to get a statement from Liesel, about how her business came to be. She went from being an intern at a local small city studio to owning and running her business. When she was asked to take maternity photos for her friend, her husband encouraged her to just get her dream camera and bought it for her! After that, she never looked back. She says she enjoys hanging out with seniors during their senior session and thinks its important to capture who we are and how we have changed. She said since she had such a difficult senior year, she wants her clients to enjoy theirs.
Liesel is a perfect choice for people nervous about their photoshoot. If you want someone who will make you feel comfortable and beautiful, book with her! For more information, visit her Instagram @lieselpattephotography or visit her website www.lieselpatteephotography.com
