Jeremy Schmidt
I am coming to a close of my busy 2009 senior season. Jeremy called me to shoot his senior images after seeing his friend, Zach’s portraits.
Jeremy was super easy to be around. He was relaxed and upbeat and I think he had been looking forward to his shoot. We started at the abandoned former Wedge’s nursery. It offers a lot of interesting possibilities for shots. I had Isaac with me to help with lighting, and within about 30 minutes of beginning Jeremy’s shoot, Isaac decided he was starving. Jeremy agreed that he could definitely break to eat and we headed to The Taco King, one of my favorite Albert Lea places to have lunch.
After we ate, we went to the beach, where the daring kids go to attempt to do crazy things on skateboards and bikes. There is a bike park there with ramps and such. It honestly made me nervous to see what they did, but they have absolutely no fear. I don’t remember having that feeling, ever.
We ended up at Edgewater Park. It is kind of cliche’ to go to a park for pictures, but there are a ton of gorgeous colored leaves on the ground and the park is where they are found in large quantities. I think Jeremy looks like a model in some of these images. He was one of the most easy shoots I had this season.

Isn’t it fun to work with kids who are so relaxed infront of a camera! It sure makes the job a lot easier, and the photos turn out sooooo much better too!! Great post!
Awesome stuff! I’m inspired once again. Your angles and colors are so beautiful.
