Senior: Janae

After meeting Janae my first year of school in Oregon, I am so excited to see her graduate this year! She is a truly talented artist and dear friend. The last four years have gone by so quickly and its amazing to see the changes and growth in this girl. She has a radiant personality that truly shines in every picture! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ducks, again, were of course involved. It's funny how often I find myself working with birds since I am absolutely terrified of them. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Congratulations Janae, I can't wait to see you graduate! 

P.S. Thanks for handling my mental breakdowns during the redo of my website/logo, you rock my socks off. 

52 Weeks: Week 4

I snagged this on my session with Janae. I just absolutely Love great blue herons. I'm hoping to do some paintings from this week from all the shots I took of this guy. He was waiting to steal the fish the kids on the bank were catching and releasing. Smart bird!

Senior: Randall

Randall is confident, fabulous, and has a million dollar smile. She and I also have matching colored leather jackets, definitely my kind of girl. Randall will graduate this June with a Bachelor in Psychology. I'm so impressed by all the graduates I get to work with, they're all so talented and brilliant. Randall has a personality to match the brains and it was a total blast to work with her. Plus she is stunning (my clients make my job so much easier)!

Congratulations Randall on your upcoming graduation!

We had a duck join us for a short bit during our shoot. It really wanted to visit us. He speed swam across the pond and posed perfectly. One duck deserves another right? Seriously, look at the sassiness these two share! 

 

I love when clients let me experiment with different ideas. A few nights before I drove by these steps and saw the lights underneath. Randall was great and hung out with us until is was dark enough to try using the steps. They added a fun edge to her pictures and was awesome about letting me experiment. She rocked every bit of this shoot!

Senior: David

You all know this face quite well by now. I won't get to gushy in this post (I'll save that for later). As most of you know David will be graduating this June from the University of Oregon with his Bachelor with a major in Human Physiology and a minor in Business. If you haven't noticed I'm really proud. He is also the first to graduate from college in his family. Gold stars for this guy. It really is amazing to see how far he has come since we graduated high school. 

I also have to share one of his senior photos. It amazes me how much the both of us have changed in what seems like such a short amount of time. My photography is dramatically different and this guy went from good looking to an absolute stud. 

Those of you who know David know how weirdly appropriate that first picture is of him...what a weirdo. 

Working for Nike, he had to sport some of that gear ;)

Congratulations David, you are amazing and everyone is so proud of you :)
