Doug’s Senior Photographs

Just realized that we did not post senior photographs for Doug, who graduated from Puyallup High School in June.  We are so sorry for not doing this earlier.

So….our congratulations go out to our new friend, Doug.  One of the things like that I love about photographing young people is their unique sense of identity. Sometimes, they don’t even know who they are yet, but that is the challenge I love-to bring out something that says who they are. Doug’s quiet intensity is captured well in these photographs and I wish him all the best in life.

New Testimonial

Hey everyone,

 

Just wanted to share a note we received from another happy client. It is brief, but valid. It reads:

“Thank you again for everything! You are an artist with the camera…love ALL the pictures. It will be difficult to choose.  ~ Tricia L.”

Thanks Tricia for your kind words. And that you for the opportunity to photograph your beautiful daughters.

 

Blessings,

Chris.

Congratulations Jill!

It was a beautiful spring day here in the Puget Sound. One of those rare and wonderful mornings when the sun is out, the breeze is soft, and the company…marvelous!

Meet Jill. Jill is a graduating senior at Emerald Ridge High School. We met up early on this beautiful morning, out at the local Starbucks, for coffee and to talk about her senior photo shoot we would be doing. Jill loved the idea of an urban-chic setting for her photo shoot, so we agreed on the Downtown Tacoma waterfront and surrounding areas.  Jill brought her friend, Hannah, to add fun and spunkiness to the day. We spent an hour or so at the Museum of Glass and Marina, getting great shots near some of Dale Chihuly’s beautiful glass sculptures as they were glistening in the morning sun. Next, up to the University of Washington’s Tacoma campus for a few minutes. Our favorite stop was the Alice in Wonderland graffiti mural on Market Street. This colorful art piece was a terrific backdrop for our lovely lady!

It was a glorious day! Thank you, Jill for a wonderful shoot! You are a beautiful young lady with a spirit to match.

I invite you to take a few minutes to enjoy a some of my favorite photos from Jill’s session.

Congratulations Jill! Tell the world who you are!

Joseph – Puyallup Senior Portrait Photographer

Good morning,

Today I am posting a few photographs that we took of Joseph for his senior portraits.

Joseph is a senior at Franklin Pierce High School and a soon-to-be-graduate of Pierce College too! He has been attending Pierce College under the Running Start program and will also earn his Associates Degree this year.

We had the opportunity to photograph Joseph on 3 different days–2 of which we basically mini sessions when both he and I were in Seattle for various reasons. Not wanting to waste an opportunity to get a few shots in Seattle, we took a few at the Museum of Flight at Boeing Field, Kerry Park on Queen Anne, and the Pike Place Market. The remainder of our shots were here in Puyallup at a few different locations.

We also designed and had a senior book printed for Joseph, but I’ll save those images for another post.

Thanks, Joseph, for being such an awesome kid, and we wish you all the best for much success at WSU.

Blessings,

Chris.

Senior Photography Sessions Still Available – Puyallup Photographer

Ok seniors. Graduation is just over a month away and you still haven’t had your senior pictures taken. Don’t panic-we’re here to help.

In a normal year, there is no real rush to have your portraits taken as the time between the start of the school year and graduation is about 9 months. You call us, we schedule a time, a place, take your photographs, process them, have you and your parents in for a viewing, design your announcements, cards, etc., order your portraits and cards from one of our many professional photo labs, and deliver them to you in plenty of time to graduation. But since we are at the end of April, we really only have a month or less left.  So here is a plan of what we are going to do.

Right now, we are scheduling some very quick in-studio shots that will give you a couple of choices for announcements and such. From the time we capture the photograph to the time we deliver them, we need about a week. And weather dependent, we have some availability to take your outdoor portraits at the location of your choice. Of course, if the weather is bad then all bets are off unless you want to take a photograph in the rain, lol. And if we get enough interest, then we may just schedule a number of mini-sessions at a location of our choice.

So don’t hesitate, give us a call today and let’s get those portraits done!

Blessings,

Chris.

P.S. If you are a junior this year, please give us a call for our early bird specials on your senior portraits.

Julie’s Senior Pictures – Puyallup Senior Photographer

Well, I’m a goof. I admit it. In the hustle and bustle of end-of-school-year activities, weddings, other work and life in general I neglected to post our good friend Julie’s senior photographs.

We actually took these photos a few months back at Heritage Park in Puyallup, WA and in our studio. We had such a great time with Julie over those two sessions. She is such a spark of life and we are happy to know her.

So, without much more adieu, we give you a video and a view of a couple of Julie’s Senior Pictures.

Way to go, Julie. Congrats on making it through and best wishes for much success in life.

Blessings,

Chris.

Michael R’s Senior Photographs – Puyallup Senior Portrait Photographer

I had a great time with Michael taking his senior photographs last week.

We started the shoot at Decoursey Park in Puyallup ducking from rain squalls (actually it never really stopped raining) and duck poop (I really wish that people would stop feeding the ducks and geese because they never leave and end up fouling up a beautiful park-no pun intended-and no one can use the park as it was intended). We got a few good shots and then moved on to downtown Puyallup for the shots that Michael really wanted-on the train tracks with his guitar-some of which are posted here for your enjoyment.

Congratulations, Michael, on making through your 12 years of school and best wishes for much success in the future.

Blessings,

Chris.

Amber – Class of 2009

We have known Amber and her family for a number of years and have watched her grow into a very nice young lady. She will graduate from Emerald Ridge High School this coming June.

We were honored to be asked to take Amber’s Senior Portraits, some of which can be viewed below. We shot these photographs in and around Tacoma a few weeks back, luckily dodging the rain showers!

Thank you, Amber, for the opportunity to take your senior photographs and all our best for a wonderful future!

Original post June, 2008.

Gabe was a great sport! With less than 1 week to go before graduation, we were a little rushed but still able to snap some wonderful photographs of him. Everyone was worried about the rain, but we managed to dodge the showers and get prints back to him and his family before the ceremony and their graduation party. Congratulations, Gabe, and best wishes for a bright future.

Below are just a few of the great photographs from his sitting.

Chris
