Like so many of my clients are at the beginning of a portrait shoot, Vanessa was a bit unsure of how to pose or whether or not she would look good. It’s typical to feel that way, especially among high school senior girls, I have found. Yet, I assured her it always gets better and more comfortable as the portrait shoot goes on. Silly Vanessa! There was no need to worry! As you can see, even from the beginning, she was a natural and her amazing beauty shines so marvelously in her senior pictures! I loved going out to play with her mom, Dedre, and mom’s boyfriend, David again. (They were there for Carter’s shoot too, a while back!) Again, they ordered an album, which means I gave you a LOT of eye candy below. Albums are so perfect, because they tell the story of our little portrait session adventure, and you get to keep a lot of pictures! Enjoy a sampling of Vanessa’s senior pictures:

What a perfect mixture of urban fun and gorgeous nature to showcase beautiful Mehak in her senior pictures! She is a city girl who also loves nature, so we found the perfect blend of both. We captured so many lovely moments and treasures (two significant necklaces, for instance) in her senior portraits and you get to see the results! Have fun browsing through a few of my faves from Mehak’s senior portrait session in Seattle.

Ali! Another gorgeous senior and more beautiful senior pictures! If I remember correctly, she was thinking that some shots with a barn would be cool, so I brought some banana bread over to my neighbor again and asked if we could use his place. (The same place where we had taken Kayla’s shots.) I love it when my portrait clients have a specific little vision or wish for their pictures and I get to grant it! Such a rewarding experience. Below are some of my favorites from Ali’s senior portrait session. Yes, there are a ton to enjoy again. It’s just so hard to narrow it down when I get to retouch some magic into a bunch of them when they order an album or other keepsakes!

Meet Miss Photogenic. No really, Lindsey is very natural in front of the camera, which made taking her senior portraits such a breeze. She loves the tall grass and water, so we made sure to find spots to that would showcase her favorite types of places for her senior pictures. I am posting a ton of photos, since she is going to enjoy a wall gallery and portfolio box of matted images, along with a number of other goodies. These are still just a sampling of my favorites. So many great senior portraits of her!:

Thank you, Lindsey (and mom Jill) for a fun-filled shoot and so so many gorgeous moments.

Cheers!

Meet Priyanka, another one of my fabulous senior portrait clients! What a gorgeous day we had for her senior portraits…and what a perfect location. She loves the color purple, and I had just spotted the perfect patch of purple flowers, which must have just been meant for her. Priyanka also loves the “hair flipping” look in portraits, so we had a lot of fun and laughs, having her flip her head and hair this way and that, trying to achieve the ultimate look for her senior portraits. Great times! We had a blast picking wild flowers and adorning her hair with them…just look on and see which of her senior pictures are your favorites!

Priyanka, you were so much fun! Thank you.

Delightfully,

Kristen

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,

Kristen
