Senior: Tyler Lowe, a classic Corvette and the Cops!

Where do I start.  Where do I start.  We had a great beginning to our senior portrait session with Tyler at our studio.  He has an awesome personality, a great smile and is built like a linebacker (oh yeah- he is a linebacker).  Then we moved outside to a second location for some outdoor pics with his dad’s classic corvette.  Then the cops came!  After a little talking and pleading with “the law”, we got away with a stern warning— no jail time!!!  My jail-free streak continues (yeaaaaaahhh haaaawwwww!).  Just kidding.  We like to keep it fresh with the seniors and stay on the lookout for new cool outdoor locations.  While at one of our “spots”, an officer was driving by and asked what was going on.  We started talking and said “Geee officer, it would be awesome if we made it look like you were arresting Tyler” and what do you know?  He obliged.  We all had a few laughs, made a unique memory and went about our business.  (seriously- no jail time!)  Enjoy these images!Unique Senior Portraits in Northeast Ohio by Tim O'Keefe Photography

FLASHBACK: Senior Wes Kremyar

Wes was one of our senior models this year from Mentor High School.  We had a great time at his shoot and incorporated his passion for sports into his session.  We also used some unique lighting styles to capture his hobbies in a “fresh” way.

If you want your senior portraits to be “real” and not ”posed” too, just let us know and we will be happy to help you stand out from the crowd!

Enjoy!

A Sporty & Fun Senior Picture Party (a.k.a. “The 6-person double-twin event”)

We met up with Francine, Matt, Chris, Brian, John & Ryan yesterday for their senior picture party.  You see, they’ve been close friends since they were little kids.  Even though they are split up between 3 high schools now (Lake Catholic, Benedictine and St. Ignatius), they’re still a pretty tight group.  They’re all involved in sports and I think it shows.

Can you guess which are the 2 sets of twins?

PS – Watch out for the captain!!!

Senior Sheena’s Shoot

We met Sheena at the beach for her senior portrait session yesterday.  You know when you meet someone for the first time you can tell you’re goint to get along… well, that was Sheena (and her mom too).  They were easy-going and seem to thoroughly enjoy life.  Sheena and her mom got to spend a little “together time” (with me tagging along) and they made a fun memory that will last forever.

Sheena was recommended to us by her friend and when she had seen his pictures, she knew she wanted to go with us.  Even though she liked our work and heard we were easy to get along with, she was still a little nervous before her session.  When it was all over though, she mentioned that she actually had a lot of fun.  She and her mom liked how we worked together to make the whole experience special for her and incorporated their ideas into our time together.  Sheena and her mom were beaming with excitement and couldn’t wait to see the proofs.  Well girls, you both did great and I hope you enjoy the below preview!

Kelsey Berger – LEL Player of the Year

A special congrats go out to Kelsey!  Kelsey was one of our senior models (ambassadors) last year and we took her senior portraits.  Her hopes for a great senior year came to fruition and she had an awesome senior year of basketball at Mentor High School.

Some of her awards include:
LEL (Lake Erie League) Player of the Year - shooting guard
1st Team All-Ohio
All-District LEL

Kelsey helped lead her team throughout the season which included winning the disctrict and a come-from-behind win against Wadsworth in the regional semi-finals where she had 30 points.

Kelsey is heading off to play basketball at Air Force (oh yeah, and serve our country) and is looking to move into the medical field in the future.  Who knows what’s ahead for this talented girl!

Below are a few of our favorite shots of Kelsey… enjoy!

Those sure are basketball hands!

Happy Girl!

At the beach... Ohio that is, not South Carolina!

Good Balance!

High School Senior (and fisherman) Brandon C.

I had the good privaledge of meeting Brandon yesterday for his senior pictures.  He’s an intelligent, polite guy who loves baseball and fishing.  We designed and scheduled his session to be at one of his favorite local fishing hot-spots (don’t worry Brandon, I won’t give away the exact location).  He already knows he’ll be pitching for Cleveland State after his senior year and I know he’ll go far in whatever he chooses to do.

Below are some of my favorite images and a design I made just for him.  If you like the below sample images, please contact us and we can custom design a session just for you like we did for Brandon… and there’s no extra cost… how about that!

PS – On the lighter side, I locked my keys in the car.  It’s the first time I have ever done this… not just this year, or since I started driving, but EVER as in I’ve never done this in my life… and right while I’m waiting for a client to arrive for the shoot.  Well, at least I had the insight to take my cameras and gear out of the car before I locked the keys in it… no, wait… I didn’t.  So while I was waiting for my wife to “rescue me” with a set of keys from home, Cherise (Brandon’s mom) and I had a good time talking for a few minutes before the shoot.  After my gear was in hand and ready for use, Cherise and I went to find Brandon in the river (so see, he wanted to get there a few hours early and go fishing).  Well, no Brandon upstream… no Brandon downstream.  We saw a fisherman in the distance and started yelling at him to come until we realized that it wasn’t him.  As it turned out, Brandon couldn’t find us and went home.  A quick cell phone call fixed that and we got started on the shoot.  What a rough start, but at least the images turned out good!
