I photographed her sister Audrey a couple years ago and now it’s Maddie’s turn. We braved the chill and found sunny skies on Alki. Once w got started Maddie knew just what she wanted to do. I loved her spontaneous laughter and smiles that only mom could get out of her!

Kayla’s Senior Session
Kayla has a style all her own. We strolled through Lincoln Park top to bottom and then headed over to Alki. The soft overcast skies were perfect to work in creating wonderful lighting.
Maddy’s walk through Lincoln Park
We bumped up Maddy’s session due to forthcoming rain and the day was well chosen. The soft light highlighted her features just perfectly. Dressed casually we wandered through the park and then headed to the water. Maddy plans to pursue a degree in nursing. She’s got the perfect smile and manner so she is well on her way.
Fightin Nick
Nick is an interesting character. He goes to West Seattle High where he participates in wrestling. He didn’t bring his fightin’ gear; instead he was dressed very casually. We stuck close to the studio and did some portraits inside and then headed outdoors. The cool grey and black walls made for interesting photos. This cool cat will work toward a nursing degree.
Zoe loves her sports
Zoe came in for her senior photos the other day. Mom ‘thought’ a studio session was in order but once I took a look at Zoe’s wardrobe and found out more about her outside seemed the place to go. We did capture a few images in studio which are nice but the ones of her with her basketball seemed to come alive. There’s a rarely used hoop just outside my door and I decided to have her shoot a few. Then we headed down to the park and water for some softer compositions.
Maddie’s Senior Session
I love photographing high school seniors. Maddie, her mom and I caught up with each other at the gardens on campus in West Seattle and found the perfect backdrops for her photos. Mom thought it was great working outdoors especially since Maddie is more of an outdoorsey kinda gal and into sports like volleyball. Here are some of my favorites. Don’t forget – it’s never too late or too early for senior pics!
Clara
The Merlino family decided to have a family portrait taken at the same time as we did Clara’s senior photos. While the morning was gray and rainy the afternoon turned out beautiful as we headed over to the arboretum at SSCC. An easy-going group, we worked quickly to catch as much late afternoon sun as possible. Here’s a peek at Clara’s senior photos.
“94”
For some reason guys tend to not want to have senior photos taken. So Rian’s mom was getting the family together for a long overdue family photo and we snuck in those senior photos of Rian. Rian goes by the nickname “94”; you’ll have to ask him how that all came about! Everyone gathered at the arboretum where we had a fun time walking the grounds.

Claudia’s Senior session
Claudia was a delightful subject. Having gone to modeling school she was a dream in front of the camera. We headed over to the Arboretum at South Seattle Community College. We had plenty of backgrounds to choose from and she had plenty of outfits to change into!

On top of Queen Anne
We tried to get together on Sunday but due to mechanical breakdown had to postpone until today. The weather still held even though it was cloudy and we captured some really nice images of Audrey atop Queen Anne hill. Having grown up in the neighborhood it only made sense to stroll down the avenue….
