Madison / Senior Portraits in Cumberland, MD

Madison is a natural beauty! She wanted a very natural setting and shoot with minimal makeup. She was amazing in front of the camera… it was like she was a trained model!

Madison is a senior graduating from Fort Hills High School in 2021. After high school, she plans on taking the year off to travel the states before attending college in Fall 2023. I think that’s just amazing! And she wants to major in biology; a gap year before diving head first into a difficult subject sounds like a grand plan to me!

I generally give lots of directions for posing but not for this girl. Her session started in a beautiful goldenrod field! We used the Egg Chair for a few of the shots and OF COURSE we got lots of her with Ava, her gorgeous dog!

This beauty loves to play volleyball and she’s been playing for the past 5 years. For the past 7 years, she’s been playing basketball.

In her free time, Madison loves drawing or spending time with her friends, though Covid has certainly altered her year a lot. She looks forward to regaining a normal scheduled day and longs for a time when school is school and she’s able to hang out with friends.

Our second location was at at Evitts creek. It was a little cool but that didn’t stop her from getting into the water! Although you’ve seen previous sessions of models in water, Madison was my first and instantly got me obsessed with these sessions!

“Follow your heart! Do what makes you happy!”

Personally she did not enjoy virtual learning and found it nearly impossible to focus.

All my senior portrait sessions take place at two or three locations to give lots of variety. I also encourage seniors to bring along at least five outfits with lots of accessories. Know a 2022 senior looking for a portrait photographer? Tell them my name and send them my way!

Western Maryland Senior Portraits | Sadie

This spunky 2021 senior is Sadie from Fort Hill High School. She’s headed to college when she graduates with the dream to study pre-law with a minor in either political science or sociology.

I can tell you one thing just from my experience with Sadie is that she’ll succeed at anything she puts her mind too!

(Side Note: I love a good black and white! Which is your favorite?)

“When Sadie was learning to talk she would say everything. On the commute to her babysitter every morning in Baltimore her dad would coach her on saying the starting line up of the Pittsburg Steelers. She was the only two year old I knew who could say Troy Polamalu and Kimo von Oelhoffen!”

— Sadie's parents on their favorite memory of her

Sadie has a myriad of interests, hobbies, and talents starting with soccer. She’s played for 13 years for club teams, travel teams, and school teams. Not only is she awesome at sports, but she’s a percussionist, snare drummer, and keyboardist for her high schools band.

Outside of school interests, Sadie loves hiking, geocaching, long boarding, and relaxing in a hammock. She also loved spending time with her friends, playing guitar, and video gaming. She’s certainly a Jack(lyn) of all trades!

We certainly had a blast wandering from location to location to capture the best for Sadie. That’s the fun of senior portraits: feeling comfortable and confident!

“Continue to be the woman we have raised you to be-strong, compassionate, persisting through adversity, and always looking for ways to serve those around you.”

— Cresta & Mark Kowalski

Although COVID impacted her senior year, Sadie has managed to learn how to navigate the social distancing waters but she looks forward to being with a crowd of friends when we return back to normal times!

I had an absolute pleasure of a time getting to know Sadie and her parents! I can’t wait to see what she does in the future!

I love capturing senior portraits and bringing an artistic eye to the experience. Know a 2021 or 2022 senior in need of a photographer? Karen Morgan Photography has you covered!
