I have several unique locations for my seniors to choose from. One of them is what I call Grass Hopper Lake. It’s for the senior who wants carefree, wild spirited, out of the box, nature inspired pictures. I love this location cause it  offers a barn with lots of rust and pops of color, a very cool old bridge, beautiful lakes, lots of fields and flowers and if you go at the right time, SUNFLOWERS! I took Miss Kendal out there last summer and  she totally ROCKED it! She took such natural pictures and is so very photogenic! So we started out at the barn with her bestie and had some fun with the hats they brought and funky posing!! Look at that smile! So contagious!

From there we moved on to the old bridge and her brother and mom hopped in the shot! I love the textures that the bridge gives and can we talk about her choice of wardrobe!!! Love that little splash of blue with her black and white. Would have never thought to add that! Brilliant girl there!

Hello BEAUTIFUL family!

The one thing about this location is I can always count on tall grasses and fields of wildflowers! She had lots of outfit changes to add a bunch of variety to her images!

And more fun with the brother!

Moving on to the lake since the sun was going down, she stepped into a colorful, fun dress for the water pictures! Seniors love this beach feel for their pictures!

Some seniors are even brave enough to get all the way in the water! She was no exception!
   

<3  What location do you want to see???

Senior season is among us and what better way to see what Hayden Burns Photography has to offer than to do a walk through of a unique location that I offer. Privately owned by a dear friend of mine, the tractor farm offers old tractors, rusted out cars, a small lake, lots of texture and just a laid back, rustic feel. Gretchen choose the Supermodel session and had her hair and makeup done by the fabulous Kandi from Serendipity salon. This type of service offers you a very different experience, giving you just that little bit of extra something that you don’t get from the average studio. Kandi is cutting edge with her styling techniques and will make you stand out among the crowd. I recommend that all senior girls add on this service as it will give your pictures that polished look to your final images and really gives you the model for a day experience.

Gretchen started out her session downtown for the first half and then we moved on to the tractor farm. Starting out there, we first come up on the old general store set. This rustic building feels very vintage and goes well with that casual outfit of shorts and your favorite top, sundresses and boots or jeans and barefeet.

Next we moved on to the old tractor section. There is so much texture and color in the rust on these old pieces of history that it really is fun to bring out the vibrancy in my post processing. If you are into color, like I am than this is the location for you! Any outfits will work with this section of the property and lots of poses can be used around them!

Also at this location are some old cars and trucks! Gretchen had decided that an old prom dress shoot would be a fun and artsy way to show her sassy personality! Paired with a pair of custom converse, this outfit was a perfect combo! Again, lots of great color here to add dimension to your pictures and lots of opportunities for funky posing.

And last but not least, we threw on a Colts jersey to show her sporty side! Throwing her hair in a few pig tails made for a new, different look.
