I was thrilled when I got a call from Madison’s dad, asking if I would be available to take her senior portraits while she was visiting here from Michigan! What an honor that Madison found me online and chose me to be her senior portrait photographer so that she would have something different from what all of her friends but have in Michigan. I didn’t know until I met her just how much fun that we would have together. That girl has got the moves! Madison, if you are ever back here, please give me a call, and maybe we can just go out and play on some sort of styled shoot sometime. Madison wanted some photos that would somehow say, “Seattle,” so we decided that waterfront pictures with boats and other fun details would help set her pictures apart and make something really special from those other seniors in hometown. Here are a bunch of faves:

Thank you so much for choosing me! I loved every minute.

Delightfully,

I love it when I have a special inspiration perfectly fitting a certain photo shoot. Well, that’s just what happened while on my way driving to Carter’s senior portrait session. We had all been talking about clothing choices for Carter’s senior pictures and decided on a variety of everyday wear contrasted with some shots in a nice suit. I always think it’s a great idea to have variety of outfits for each photo shoot. That allows us to capture a variety of looks and adds even more fun to our portrait sessions. I was admiring the gorgeous fall scenery while driving to the shoot and my eyes fell upon an amazing “field” of sorts just calling out for a young man wearing in a suit for a fun album-cover type look. Carter was up for it, so we hiked our way out to the field for some perfect guy senior portrait artwork! Not only that but we also got some perfectly fun shots in the woods. Since Carter enjoys the outdoors, we headed off to the woods for some shots. While out there, Carter mentioned something about climbing a tree and the rest is history. We had plenty of other picture perfect moments, but we will just let the photos speak for themselves. (I’m posting a ton because they ordered a portrait album and I’ve artfully retouched a bunch, making it so hard to choose!)

Thank you, Carter, friends, and family, for such a fabulous time! You are all such fun.

Here is another fabulous, beautiful senior, Samantha! We did a back to back senior portrait shoot with her and friend Elizabeth (otherwise known as LB,) whom you might remember is one of my fantastic spokesmodels this year. I love her lovely smile. She loves working with children, and you can just tell she has a welcoming personality and that kids would just love to be around her! Sam and LB wanted a mixture of urban and nature looks for their senior pictures. Since Sam’s favorite color is blue, we captured some great senior portrait shots against a brilliant blue wall. We also found plenty of fun locations for their senior pictures and added a bit of the unexpected by pulling out the boots and umbrellas in a beach-like setting. Such a fun time!

Thanks, Sam! I have loved getting you know you!

(More of LB to come later)

Cheers!
