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.

Here’s… Jared
“but we only need one!” Jared exclaimed as we kept strolling thru the park. Kinda quiet and reserved we got some really nice images for his senior pics….
Lily’s Senior Photos
Rain forced us to wait until later in the day to shoot Lily’s senior session. I love shooting at the gardens at the community college. Every time I walk through I find a new location or angle from which to capure images. Lily was a dream to work with. Her tanned skin was captured beautifully in the soft overcast light. Lily goes to Kennedy High in Burien and graduates in early June.
Eric’s Senior Session
I met up with Eric for a walk through the gardens at South Seattle Community College this past weekend. Overcast and clouds provided smooth lighting for our session. I always love it when the guys pick out their favorite outfits. He was just tough enough to pull off the “James Dean” look of white T-shirt and jeans. We added red shoes for flair later on and then turned to a more classic look of V-neck sweater with a jacket. All in all I think we captured his senior persona just fine.
Fun in Georgetown
I love the wild child senior portrait! Kati was the perfect subject for the Georgetown area. She brought a van full of outfits and we wandered the area while mom played taxi driver for us. We found lots of interesting architecture, trucks and a vintage trailer shopping mall!
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.
Time for senior portraits
Mom pulled up to the studio last Sunday and said “Camden’s in the car, got time?” So I grabbed a camera and we headed off to the community college and roamed the garden there. Looks like we were at five different locations. Got done quickly and Camden was able to finish his day doing things HE really wanted to do:)
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.
girly girl vs tomboy
Sammi has walked by my studio for the past 9 years; always with a smile; always with wise words of wisdom for a now 17 year old! So I offered to take her senior pics and boy did we have fun! Whether she is a ‘girly-girl’ or a tomboy is yet to be determined but she had fun in front of the camera and certainly kept me entertained and excited about the session. Here’s a little peek at her pics!
Anthony’s senior pics
You never know how a senior guy is gonna react to the camera. Anthony was great. His mom is a makeup artist so he had to sit through a little makeover but not so much as to make him look like he’d had a makeover! He gave me plenty of attitude that came across very “James Dean-like” on camera. What ya think?!
