Welcome to the Bryon DeVore Photography blog. This space is a place for me to keep in touch with clients, post new work and to share bits about how I go about things here with the photography business. I generally post a few photos from each session, but after a few years of keeping this blog, I know that counting on me to be consistent or regular in any way is probably not going to work out well for anyone. I love to hear from visitors so please drop me an e-mail and be sure to come visit me on Facebook!

High School Senior Season is Here

Part of what I enjoy with this work is how different the types of photography sessions I do really are. Family sessions have the relationships that I'm trying to capture and children have the playfulness I like to join in on and encourage. High school senior sessions are totally different. I have a single subject and it's a very collaborative thing that we do. As opposed to working with a 5 year old who is simply reacting to me and the situation and not to the camera so much, with a high school student we do a lot more posing and maneuvering to find looks that are real and natural but at the same time appealing visually and fun. It's harder in some ways to make natural photographs with older subjects, but I have a lot more control.

Here are a few from one of my first senior sessions this year.
