Melissa = Senior 2010!

I had the awesome privilege of taking Melissa's Senior photos this past week. Melissa will be a Senior at West Linn High School this fall and I'm so excited that she has agreed to be a Senior Rep for me! If you are a Senior at another Portland-area High School and are interested in earning free prints, please let me know!

This session was so much fun, and Melissa had a great time too. It's so great when your client is relaxed, having a great time, and is willing to try different poses. The coolest part was that I barely had to give her any direction. She's a natural in front of the camera!

Enjoy some of my favorites below and, as always, don't forget the mega-slideshow!

Congratulations Melissa!

I call this one "The Album Cover". Somewhere at this very moment, Taylor Swift is jealous. :)







I love this blue door!


Melissa was just full of expression and laughter and I thought these 4 images captured all of that!


Aqua Chuck Taylors, baby!!




We were fortunate (although our ears weren't!) to have a train go by while shooting down in the warehouse district and it gave us a perfect "rotating" backdrop!




I love it when clients let loose! :)


A little Photoshop fun...


We headed over to the waterfront to finish the evening... These are two of my favorites from that setting.




Slideshow time!

Sneak Peek - Melissa - Senior 2010!

Here's a little sneak peek of a recent Senior shoot that was more fun than should be allowed! I'm super excited about the rest of the images from her set, but here's one of my favorites in the meantime. Enjoy, and watch for the rest coming soon to a blog near you!

Office Photos

A week or so ago, I had a great time out at the office of Orthodontist and good friend, Dr. Andrea Laidlaw. I took some photos of their new, remodeled office and some new staff photos as well. Look for them on their website soon!

July Wallpaper

If you've been following this blog, you know that I have pledged to share a new wallpaper each month featuring one of my images. Well, I'm a little late for July, but I thought this image from the previously blogged about Car Show was appropriate for this summer month. Enjoy!
