Skateboarding Senior Portraits

A high school senior gets big air in the skate park

This year I kicked off my senior portrait season in the middle of winter. Sometimes finding a location can be tricky when the landscape is cold and brown; but Aaron knew exactly the type of unique senior portrait photos that he was looking for!

We headed out to the new Broomfield Skate Park for some radtastic action senior portraits. The last time I did some extreme senior portraits was last summer, wakeboarding and wakesurfing at Boulder Reservoir.

As with all my extreme sports senior pictures, we split the session up into two parts. Part of the shoot is spent getting some great shots that the student is looking for. You know, the kind that makes you feel like you’re at a professsional photo shoot for a magazine. The second half of the shoot is focused on getting some headshots and portraits that Mom is going to love!

Even in the Colorado winter, we are fortunate that we always get warm sunny days. So as long as we watch the weather and time it right, we can usually get some pictures without jackets, even when there is still snow on the ground.

I’m going to finish the post with a parting shot that I really love. I like the feel of this shot, and yes, even the fact that I cut Aaron’s head off. It’s ART man!

  1. Steve, these are great! A perfect balance of cool shots for him and ‘grandma’ approved portraits. That last shot is totally bad-ass, love the flare and the composition!
