High School Seniors

Liz

I absolutely adore Liz and her mom.  They're hilarious!  (I like funny people.)  Liz is a spot girl... and has the legs to show it, not only with how toned they are but also with the scars!  Yikes!  She also happens to own one of the prettiest prom gowns in existence!  I kinda wanted to steal it... but I fought the urge.  Somehow I don't think it would have looked quite as fabulous as me.  ;) Hair:  Sara Munson

Make-up: Sephora

Nick

Nick is a super-jock.  He plays basketball and baseball at his high school.  I thought Tara and I were going to have to fight a little to get him out of his shell.  I was wrong.  He was such a trooper from the beginning of the shoot.  Plus, towards the end of his session when I asked him "Are you so done with this?" his response was, "Nah.  It's not as bad as I thought it was going to be."  Haha!  I'll take that as a win! senior pictures done at local penny arcade

Miss Maren

At Maren's shoot we had awesome weather.  The light was beautiful.  There was no rain (which was a struggle ALL season!).  But the mosquitos.... oh the mosquitos!  They were out by the thousands and they thought we were all so tasty!  We actually had to leave part of the location to avoid being completely devoured.  I may or may not have had to edit out a few bugs. I love the shoes (of course) but I also love that this Hawaiian inspired outfit is completely different than anything else Maren wore.

Jake

Jake was really fun to take pictures of!  We had his own location in mind.  (LOVE that!)  It was a location that I couldn't have gotten my hands on without him which made it even better!  He recently completed his training to be a pilot and totally nailed his test!  Congratulations, Jake!  And thanks for taking us to Peak Aviation!  They were MORE than accommodating!  (And now my girls think they can fly a plane thanks to our location hunting pre-shoot!) teen boy leans against airplane on tarmac

Miss Amanda

This girl was a trooper!  We were suppose to have manageable weather... I mean, not stellar, but not raining on us.  That worked for about the first 2/3 of the shoot.... then...?  Well, then is POURED on us.  We got all of her outfits in and even headed over to a soccer field for some soccer pictures.  Overall it was a complete success!  I love it when clients just go with it!  I love it even more when the weather cooperates with us, though! ;)

Rebecca {Oregon Stunning Senior}

I've known Rebecca for the last 5 years.  When I met her she was in middle school... with braces... and she was beautiful even then.  Last summer her family moved to Salem, Oregon.  I was really bummed to lose good neighbors AND a good babysitter.  I was absolutely thrilled (and beyond flattered) when her mom contacted me wanting to fly in to do her senior pictures.   THANK HEAVENS we had good weather for her shoot!  You never know with this crazy summer we've been having!! high school girl poses with her horse for her senior pictures

Rachel

Rachel makes me think of what my Addilyn will look like when she's all grown up.  Stunning with dark curls, light skin, and very very VERY blue eyes.  I couldn't get over her eyes.  Honest planet:  I didn't touch her eyes.  They really are THAT blue.  Gorgeous, right? We were worried about rain at her shoot (because this summer is the "Summer from Seattle" in my books... rain nearly daily) but the weather held out and the pictures turned out just beautiful.

Meet Kate

Kate is so darling and laid back.  I met her through one of my other sweet seniors, Abigail.  They've been best friends for years.  Kate's shoot started out rough with lots of rain.  We sat in the car and got to know each other while we waited out the rain, decided to head to a location about 5 minutes away, and found clearer skies there.  Her pictures turned out completely beautiful and I'm thankful she stuck it out and was flexible with the location.

Meet Chelsie (again)

Chelsie is absolutely darling.  I have been taking pictures of her through her Varsity Cheer team for a few years now and it's been so fun.  When she was a freshman she came to Addilyn's 5th birthday party with two other cheerleaders and taught the girls some cheers.  I've loved getting to know her this year.  She is so dang sweet... which she clearly gets from her mama.  I'm so grateful I got to take her senior pictures AND that she was one of my Senior Spokesmodels this year.

Miss Peyton

Peyton.  I adore her.  I have been taking pictures of her with the cheer team for a few years but this year, being able to take her Senior pictures and have her be one of my Senior Spokesmodels allowed me to really get to know her and her sweet mama has been nothing short of wonderful!  I honestly love those two girls and can't wait to see what Peyton will do with her life... because it will be show stopping for sure!  (Bonus, she's heading to my home town for school!!)
