Nathan's Senior Portrait ... Enid, OK. Photography

Another thought on the design of a great portrait, props. If you have been reading my blog for a while, you will notice that we don't usually include a lot of props in our portraits. When we do though, they must be part of the story, something that is real, not fake or contrived.
When I look back at my High School years, I really wish that I had a portrait with my car, a 62 Chevy Impala. WOW, what an opportunity missed! Time moves on and waits for no one.
Here I believe we did Nathan a great portrait that focuses on him to begin with, and then adds the car as a secondary element. Even the lines of the building and the angle of the car brings our eye back to his face and a solid expression.
To his mom and dad, thanks for letting us photograph all three of your sons' senior portraits. You and your family have truly been a blessing to "the Grays"!

The pictures of all three of my grandsons are awesome. They portray exactly what they loved in the background. Wess Gray does the best work in town.

I had a lot of fun doing the pictures with Wess, the way he is able to capture the moment in everyone of the pictures he takes is very amazing. There wasn't one picture out of the selection that we didnt like but this was our favorite.
