With fall right around the corner and yearbook deadlines looming, it’s high school senior portrait season – and I’m loving every minute of it! I really enjoy photographing high school seniors, capturing this important slice of life and letting individual personalities shine.
Becca’s session was one of those sessions where we could have shot all night. She wanted unique locations, and she really really wanted to shoot in a junkyard. Of course I happily accommodated :) We had such a blast and I’ve been dying to share the results – have a look..

Congrats Becca, and best wishes for your success and a fabulous senior year!

I know I wrote quite a bit about the St Baldrick’s pediatric cancer fundraiser in honor of Tuesday HERE, so I will let the photos do the talking..



I love this family
An incredible day with truly incredible people. What an honor.
Here’s the slideshow (takes forever to load, but it’s worth it :) http://www.autumnburke.com/teamtuesday

This is Spencer. And I am in awe of this boy.
Well, actually, I am in awe of his entire family.
I shot this portrait a year and a half ago, during a very special session with his family. Spencer’s younger sister Tuesday, at 18 months old, had been diagnosed with neuroblastoma cancer. (you can see the blog post HERE) And a few short months later, in January 2009, 2-year-old Tuesday passed away, survived by her parents, her two brothers, and her twin sister. And her extended family. And the countless lives she touched.
So it is in his sister’s honor that her brother Spencer, along with several of his classmates and many others within the community, will be participating in the upcoming St Baldrick’s charity event to be held at the Douglas County Fairgrounds this Friday, March 19th. They have gathered sponsors and will be getting their heads shaved to promote awareness and raise money for pediatric cancer research. For anyone interested in sponsoring Team Tuesday – either by donation or by volunteering to get your head shaved :) – click here to visit the St Baldrick’s website. Or if you’d like further information feel free to contact me. I will be on hand documenting the event and I’d love to see you there.

And. If you know of a family who is facing similar circumstances. Or even someone who has been putting off getting a family portrait. Please have them call me.
