It's not often I get to photograph high school seniors anymore. That's weird for me to even say since my business started as only photographing high school seniors. But now-a-days I photograph about 10 seniors a year.

Kathy, Kelly's mom, contacted me a month ago about having her two daughters photographed. As soon as I met with these ladies I knew they'd be a blast to work with. Kelly is currently in high school but you wouldn't be able to tell right off the bat. Her maturity level shines right through and you could swear she's definitely over 19! Maybe that's why Kelly is her class president who goes above and beyond not only for her school but for her community as well and she's so humble about it. It speaks volumes when someone does so much and asks for nothing in return and that's definitely Kelly. We explored the cool alleyways and streets in downtown Providence and walked away with some pretty awesome photos. It was definitely a session to remember. I hope you all enjoy these as much as I do!

Mel knew of my name through a bunch of mutual friends. Although she was a senior at Somerset High, a school that I don't photograph often, she knew of the name "Ryan DeVoll" when thinking about her senior portraits. It's crazy to me to see how far I've come with seniors. To doing exclusively at Durfee High to now photographing seniors all over MA, it's awesome. 

She rocked her session at Horseneck Beach a few weeks ago. Now that the summer is officially over, I probably wont have the chance to go back here until next year. On that note - Goodbye summer, hello FALL! 

High school seniors have always been a huge part of Ryan DeVoll Photography. They were one of the biggest parts of my studio when I first came back from school, photographing anywhere from 30-50 of them a year. Now, I get to photograph a few selective seniors who are more like friends of mine vs. clients. The whole "why" behind what I do stemmed from me getting my photograph taken in school. It was cookie cutter, everyone had the same photo, the same lighting and there was no personality in any of those photos. Your senior photo should be different from everybody else's. It should stand out, reflect you and showcase who you are. 

These three just graduated this past weekend, so let's give it up for them! Congratulations! You did it! Now, your onto adulthood. Enjoy your summer and stay in touch!

With love,
Ryan
