Ella Senior Sports Session in the 417

As an athlete myself, something that is super important to me when taking sports pictures is being able to capture the strength, focus, and courage that comes with being an athlete.

Ella did a perfect job of modeling these attributes with this sports senior session!

Ella is part of her high school’s tennis team, and plays some pickleball on the side when she’s not in season.

While I’m not a tennis player myself, and I wouldn’t necessarily consider myself good at pickleball, I used some specific poses and techniques to try and show these sports off in the best way possible.

A good general principal for sports sessions is to have your client move around as much as possible.

I had Ella do things like swing her legs, spin her racket, toss a tennis ball in the air— anything that allowed me to capture her athleticism.

I love how these photos came out!

We had such a good time with this senior sports session and Ella did an amazing job with all the different poses and motions.

She had so many good ideas for poses too and I loved being able to capture her vision for her photoshoot most of all.
