One thing I like about shooting East High senior photos is that the school is very open to different styles of photography. I promised Phil that we could shoot wherever he wanted, and his request was to shoot in a cemetery. It was drizzly and gray and suited the mood he wanted to create. Denver weather being what it is, the drizzle turned into a downpour and we were forced to quit early and scheduled another session to finish. A couple weeks later we had a "normal" senior photo session and got some shots that pleased his parents. For me, I am always game for whatever a senior wants to try. I think we have time to get shots that please kids and parents. In this case, I think both turned out great. We were definitely channeling Harold and Maude for a few of these photos. The music on this video will make more sense if you've seen Harold and Maude...
