Here are Blake’s favorites in a senior video slideshow.

Rutland’s Class of 2010 graduated on Saturday. We gotten to know all of the kids over the years. Some we’ve know almost all of their lives. The gym was FULL at 2 in the afternoon. It was too wet for fieldwork with warm temps, hazy overcast and for once at graduation NO WIND! With all of the small schools in the area having commencement ceremonies on the same day, the Madison Daily Leader, asked if I would take a few pictures.

Megan Powell wrote a song for her senior project. Amber Misar performed it for the graduates before they received their diplomas. Here is a video that we put together with the images from yesterday accompanied by Amber Misar singing Megan’s song. Bill Shoup played the various instruments in the song.

Shelby came after school for her senior pictures along with two of her friends to help haul in all of her outfits.

We’ve known Mitch a very long time. As a senior in Rutland, Mitch literally stands head and shoulders above everyone else.

We went to Mitch’s farm for the first part of his session and then finished up with a few more in the studio.

Mitch has a distinctive style all his own. In other words, he doesn’t conform to the status quo.

We went to Rob’s farm for the first part of his senior session.

The weather was a little uncertain that day: we had calm and brisk winds, clouds and sunshine, changing every few minutes.

Rob’s girlfriend Kendra, a Black Studios senior from last year, got in on a few.

Mom really wanted Rob to have one in a suit. While casual dress seems to be the trend in senior pictures lately, we still like doing the more traditional look of a suit of formal dress.

What can we say about Hailey? This Rutland High School senior pushes hard at her studies. Hailey has been great help to us in the studio. And she loves shoes!
