2012 Churchill Senior: Ally

Being my daughters best friend made this shoot pretty effortless. I have watched Ally go from a little 6th grader to being a little senior! She's a wonderful girl and I was happy to be able to help her with her senior pictures. On the way to the Rose Garden I happened to see a building that seemed to have a nice texture and interesting old doorways, so we stopped for some shot's! I'm pretty flexible and spontaneous and easily distracted. Having my daughter Brittany as an assistant helps keep me SQUIRREL! on track.

See how cool that background was for portraits! Actually it helps a lot when you have a pretty girl to put in the picture. It would be an awful background if I had jumped into the frame!

We then zipped off to the Garden and finished up this session.

We finished up, but we still have a third outfit change where we will be doing some soccer uniform shots! Maybe we will even break out the fire!!

2012 Willamette HS Senior: Shoniece

The excitement abounded when we were shooting Shonieces session! We had fire, blood, pain! Actually we started at Alton Baker Park.

We were doing great and getting some wonderful images, but I went and broke the magic by slipping on the angled concrete along the waters edge and saving my wonderful camera by breaking the fall with my elbow, knee and hip. The rest of the shoot I had blood all down my knee and elbow, but we finished the shoot.

We went to the waterfall area for some nature shots, and ended up at the basketball courts on the University of Oregon campus and watched Shoniece tame fire!

We had a good time and got some geat shots for her to always remember her senior year of high school. We even got some nice shots of her and her boyfriend Otto!
