Braelynn - Class of 2018

Braelynn is so fun!  We had a great time with her senior session, even if the smoke from the forest fires still lingered in the air.

I have learned a few things from this session that will be good to keep in mind from here on out.  One, don't use the gold reflector that comes in the 5-in-1 kit (why do they even include one?); it make skin tones so much more orange and a chore to remove.  Two, smoky days are NOT for photographing in.  Unlike cloud cover the smoke also contributes to a more orange skin tone.   After trying to remove those colors, these are the images I was able to share with Braelynn and her family.

Carson - Class of 2018

I had the opportunity to make some fun senior images with this young man.  He's very polite, respectful, and a pleasure to work with.  Carson has high hopes for his future after high school and I look forward to seeing him grow and become all the wants.

I really enjoyed this senior shoot at Finch Arboretum.  Teylor was a lot of fun to work with and she's so lovely.  I spent a few hours capturing some of her awesome personality.    These are just a few of my favorite images of her!

 

 

 

Prom

My son and his girlfriend are seniors in high school this year and I was able to photograph them both for this event.  I'm so grateful for the help of a good friend and classmate, Cory Henderson, and his wife, Candice.  We utilized the beautiful sun we had here in the pacific northwest, along with two strobes.  I didn't really think that strobes were necessary when photographing outdoors, but I am so happy with how these images look.
