Her Favorite Yellow Umbrella

This is Caitrin’s 5th photo session to commemorate her senior year. What we are trying to achieve with this committed senior is a variety of different seasons, weather and locations, as well as honoring her high school sports career. This afternoon, Caitrin was hoping to get some rain/puddle photos where she could show off her bright yellow umbrella. Fortunately for me we did not get caught in a downpour. I hope you enjoy the few shots we got. Stay tuned for Caitrin’s final session sometime in April.

Cat’s Senior Shoot #4-Soccer

This has been a beautiful week for bright sunshine. I love rummaging through my glove compartment to find some much needed sun glasses:). Sun is not always a photographer’s best friend, though. It can be the source of washed out photos with squinty eyed subjects. That being said, Caitrin and I needed to get her soccer portraits out of the way before uniforms had to be turned in, so yesterday was the day. Cat (Caitrin’s field name) did her part by securing the school field and showing up with her uniform, letterman’s jacket, cleats and a ball. I brought all of my needed gear, except for a warm pair of gloves. I’ll make sure to put those in my camera bag for the next cold weather shoot. Here is what Cat and I came up with for some unusual still and action shots. I used the bright sun for some interesting busts and streaks. Thanks for braving the wind chill for me, Caitrin. Congratulations on a season record of 16 goals, 11 assists and the honor of All SPSL 1st team; the best way to end a great high school career!

Ram Pride

This past weekend, I had the distinct pleasure to photograph Jordan for his senior portraits. Jordan is a wonderful young man who recently earned his Eagle Scout rank in the BSA. Jordan plays the trumpet for Rogers High School, and has clear pride in his Ram roots. Jordan wanted some of his photos to be taken at the high school, and specifically at the band room entrance. I love that Jordan has specific ideas on what types of poses he wants in his senior portfolio. I hope you enjoy what Jordan and I came up with for his portrait session.

Congratulations, Jordan, on your senior year and upcoming graduation. I had a blast with you!

Rainy Day Session

Today looked like a gloomy, rainy, yukky day. And it was! Today was the day Caitrin and I set aside to head up to Lincoln Park in West Seattle to take advantage of some fall color. We don’t get a lot of fall color here in the Northwest, but today, we found some. Caitrin and I had to slug through the mud to get there, but we found what we were looking for; a grove of colorful trees with a bench to sit on. A wet bench. These are some of my favorite portraits of Caitrin. I hope you enjoy them.

Spartan Pride

I’d like to introduce you to Nick. Nick is a terrific senior from Sumner High School. He has an obvious love for football and was excited to have his senior portraits done wearing his jersey on the field at Sunset Stadium. This is a great location! It really embodies who Nick is and what he spends his time doing. I hope you enjoy some of Nicks photos.

Thanks for the great session, Nick. I wish you all the best during your senior year:)

Afternoon with Anna

Last weekend was, I think, our last really nice weekend of the year (weather wise). I was blessed to have a terrific senior session with Anna, who chose to meet me at the Nisqually Wildlife Refuge. This has been a popular location this senior season, and for good reason. There are so many great places to photograph at the refuge. The barns are a favorite for my “girls”. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Anna. As you will see, she is a beautiful young lady, with loads of life and personality. She was so much fun, and willing to try all sorts of poses…my favorite type of model:) Thank you, Anna, for such a lovely and enjoyable afternoon. Blessings on your future.

Caitrin’s Senior Shoot #2

Today, Caitrin and I headed to the thriving metropolis of Downtown Puyallup:) Caitrin thought that an urban setting would be a  good backdrop to her choice in attire for her second senior shoot, and due to a limited time schedule (she is  busy girl) we needed to shoot somewhere close by.  If you have been following, we have decided to try something different with Caitrin; a session each month, to fully document her senior year. I have to admit, it has been  difficult to get a shoot in so often, but we are determined. I hope you enjoy a few of my selected examples of this beautiful young lady. She is a treasure!

Kelli-A Day in the Park

My latest senior portrait shoot was with this wonderful young woman, Kelli. Kelli and I met at DeCousey Park in Puyallup to document her senior year at Puyallup High School. Kelli is an accomplished musician, playing flute, trumpet and sax. She has plans to attend WSU and study veterinary medicine. Kelli is quite an amazing girl with true beauty radiating around her. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with her. Please enjoy a few of Kelli’s photos that we captured last weekend. Congratulations, Kelli, on your senior year and upcoming graduation. We wish the very best for you in your future endeavors.

Beautiful Brianna

Last weekend I had the opportunity to meet and photograph Brianna for her senior portraits. Brianna told me she likes fields, water and barns, so my instinct was to take her to the Nisqually Wildlife Refuge just north of Olympia. She had never been to the refuge before, but I could see the approval in her eyes when we rounded the corner and came upon the pair of barns on the property. The morning started out with some fog and low clouds, but the sky quickly opened up for the sunny day she had been hoping for. Brianna is a beautiful young lady from Graham-Kapowsin  High School with big dreams and hopes for her future. Thank you, Brianna, for giving me the honor of being your photographer at this exciting and fun time in your life. I wish you the very best. Have an awesome senior year!!

Love the Longboard

Last week, I had the great pleasure to photograph Jonny for his senior portraits. I had never met Jonny before that afternoon, but I could tell, the minute I saw him, that he was a guy with charisma. He mentioned that he loved to longboard, so, of course, I had to ask if he had is longboard with him. He said it was in the car. “Wanna get it?” I asked him.  I think I surprised him…pleasantly. The look of joy on his face when he came riding down the path on his board was priceless! I love shooting seniors, especially when they are engaged in something they love. We got a few action shots, just for fun, to round out his session. It was a great shoot!

Jonny and Kate, I had a great time with both of you! Thanks for the entertainment:) And I hope you enjoyed your weekend at the Dave Matthews concert!!
