Why Rhinehart Photography?

Janelle, Addison’s mom, shares, “I wanted to book Lisa for Addison’s senior portraits because I could tell she has a good attention to detail. Her pictures really capture the personality of those she photographs.”

She continues, “Lisa is very detail-oriented and she put a great schedule together for the day. She really took the time to get to know Addison and help her prepare for the day. It was helpful to have this discussion ahead of time so that we knew what to expect the day of.”

Why Carlisle?

Addison’s mom shares, “One of Addison’s favorite places to explore is Downtown Carlisle, a community full of life and character. The unique storefronts, variety of restaurants, and the liveliness of the people make it a place that perfectly reflects her appreciation for authenticity and connection.”

Framing her in leaves and against the column in a building was so fun, and her movement caught at just the right second; that’s what I’m going for!

The plants, the lights, the reflection, the sweet expression, the way the merchant’s storefront so fits the vibe of her outfit and personality here….

 

Thrifting at Miss Ruth’s Timebomb

Janelle smiles, “Addison has an adventurous side, finding joy in the thrill of the hunt — whether that’s discovering new places, uncovering hidden treasures, or scoring the perfect bargain. She has a natural eye for design, effortlessly mixing and matching pieces to create something uniquely her own. Many of her favorite shops give back to charitable causes, perfectly aligning with her compassionate heart and future aspirations to become a social worker.”

Yes, to reflections, thrift stores, and not talking to strangers 👽 I loved capturing the sides of Addison’s personality!

This is an idea I have always wanted to do. I believe the first time I saw a photographer do this was my mentor, Sam.

I love the layers, lines, and reflections here… The mannequin totally adds to the vibe!

 

Exploring Downtown: Carlisle Senior Portrait Photographer

Addison’s mom shares, “Addison finds joy in supporting small businesses and exploring local farmers’ markets, where variety and community come together. She loves strolling through the booths, meeting local vendors, and soaking in the warmth of the sunlight and the scent of fresh flowers and baked goods — simple pleasures that reflect her appreciation for life’s genuine, beautiful moments.”

Here, I used the traffic lights and crosswalk to frame Addison. I waited for the sunlight to hit her hair just right. Plus, how cute are her jeans?

Girl, your eyes are everything. I love those freckles – such a pretty look here!

This is one of my favorite farmers’ markets, too! Addison is perusing the loaves of bread… I waited for her to get in a little open window so I could capture her, all the stacks of bread, and the other farmers’ market supplies in the background.

Let’s go to the Beach (or Playa Bowls)

Janelle says, “Playa Bowls fit Addison’s personality because it is fun, colorful, and the energy is positive. It’s a perfect blend of fun, exciting, and calming.”

“Addison carries herself with quiet strength and grace. The kind that comes from a heart rooted in kindness, compassion, and authenticity. Her caring nature shows in the way she listens, supports others, and always seeks to make people feel valued and seen.”

Are we at the beach or in Carlisle? I love the vibe here — her sun-kissed face, her hair, the breeze, and the beachy chair. 🌊

It’s so much fun for me to play with light and shadows. I liked the zigzag of light coming through and the zigzag on her bracelet. I had her make a zigzag with her arms too… I feel like this image packs a similar punch to that opening red-on-red-on-red!

I thought it would be fun to pretend that the mural was real and she was hopping on a jeep… Girl was game for anything and so much fun! I loved capturing her playful side.

I love the murals, textures, patterns, curiosity, and flip-flops.

Similar to the other image, but this one really shows off her eye color and that gorgeous smile! I love how natural her look is.

 

 

Alleyway Adventures: Carlisle Senior Portrait Photographer

Janelle says, “Addison’s personality is creative and passionate about life, people, and relationships. One of her greatest assets is her genuineness, along with internal and external beauty.

For me, this shows her being open to the possibilities around her. There are so many doors, staircases, and paths in front of her. In this one, it’s almost like she is following a beam of light.

Another fun, one… Some street art. Watch out, Addison!

Giggling and running, such imagination and such a playful heart.

 

Track & Field: Shippensburg Senior Portrait Photographers

Proud mom, Janelle, shares, “Addison’s athletic journey has been deeply meaningful, especially through her connection to shotput — a sport she discovered thanks to her brother, Landon. The two share a close bond, built on love, encouragement, and mutual respect. Landon’s passion for the sport inspired Addison to give it a try during her junior year of high school. With his support, she quickly fell in love with it too.”

She adds, “Addison has embraced the strength and discipline the sport requires. Training with a nationally ranked shotput coach and continually striving to set new personal records — both in the weight room and on the field. Her dedication, resilience, and quiet determination have fueled her growth as an athlete. This year, she’s excited to expand her skills and try discus as part of the track and field team, continuing to challenge herself and celebrate progress every step of the way.”

Here, I wanted to capture the vibe of the track and bleachers. I loved framing Addison as the wind blew her hair. She comes across as friendly and confident!

I love all the lines and shadows here — from the lines on her track to those on her jacket and shoes. So cool and confident!

 

Golden Hour: Shippensburg Senior Portrait Photographer

Fun fact: Addison is the President of the Photography Club at her high school! She loves taking pictures of sunsets, too.

Addison shares, “I want to capture sunsets because they are beautiful and it’s different every day. You never know what to expect at the end of the day. It also makes me think of how something so simple could be so unique to that day, and it makes my day better, too.”

Janelle adds, “As an athlete, Addison brings dedication, passion, and resilience — a beautiful reflection of her inner drive and spirit. Yet, she balances that determination with a deep appreciation for life’s softer, more beautiful moments. The colors of a sunset, the rhythm of the ocean, photography, and the simple joy found in nature’s beauty.”

“Her love for capturing these moments shows how deeply she feels and how genuinely she sees the world — not just through a lens, but through her heart. Inside and out, she radiates beauty — in her warmth, her creativity, and her gentle but powerful presence.”

For this shot, I really wanted the orange sunset to glow. I exposed for the sunset and then had my assistant shine a light on Addison. She would have been nearly invisible without that flash, but I love the genuine smile and even dimples that this brought out!

Yaaaas! I love her confidence in the shot, and if you look closely, you can see the sunset in the background. My concept was to make it vintage 2000s, really mirror the thrifting vibe, yet still feel cool for today!

We explored a little more in the dark, and I love the vibrant blues and greens here, as well as the vibrant personality of this awesome young woman!

Addison’s mom, Janelle, smiles, “Addison’s senior pictures beautifully captured all of these qualities. Her bright spirit, natural confidence, and genuine smile reflect the kind, compassionate person she is. From playful, colorful moments to calm, sunlit scenes, each image tells the story of Addison’s creativity, love for life, and the effortless grace she carries wherever she goes.”
