Ashley and Nicole are graduating high school soon and wanted to capture some fun images to commemorate this important year. I always have fun on senior sessions, but Ashley & Nicole kept me cracking up the entire time we were shooting.  Something about sisters, they always know how to keep each other laughing.

Here are a few of my favorites so far:

pair-bw

Such pretty ladies.

in-white-set

Nicole has such a great natural smile.

peek-17
I love Ashley’s eyes here, they sparkly through her glasses.

jump-shoes

And of course we HAD to jump! I love that they were both sporting the converse too, my favorite.

yellow-set

Check out the rad yellow wall we found too.

peek-132

See you think she is throwing me a nice smile here, really I think she is just laughing at her sister. I am telling you sister/sister sessions are the best. When you live with someone for 17 or 18 years you know how to crack them up.

Ash & Cole thanks so much for hanging out with me, and being up for anything. I will have the rest of the set for you very soon!

I asked Tom and his family to come up with a fun creative location, and they delivered. There were far too many to choose from for one little peak, so here are a few of my favs so far:

thomaspeek-10

Tom is a theatre fan so we started out at the Portland Armory Theater, what a great location. Tom wants to be an actor and screen writer so he fit right in here. I loved his suit against the wall here.

thomaspeek-12

Tom also had such a great smile, I love the clients with acting experience, they always have the best comfortable smiles.

thomaspeek-13

I was digging this import store last weekend. So many great colors here.

thomaspeek-16

We also found some oh so fitting signage in the area, we just had to do it!

Tom and Mo I had a great time tromping around the Pearl with the two of you. Thanks for working with my hectic schedule, the weather worked out perfectly for us! I will have the rest of the set for you very soon!

Well Miss Makenzie is back to finish up her senior photos and this time we opted for a fun more urban setting.  We had a great time tromping all over the pearl district in Portland. Leave it to the “Art Neighborhood” to have the best settings for photos.

Here are a few of my favorites so far:

macpeek-10

She is such a beautiful girl, and I love the new hair.

I believe Mac actually spotted this cool metal grading.

Well this weekend she was back in front of my lens, this time in down town Portland. Yet another fun day with great photos to show for it. It is going to be so hard to whittle down to just one gallery for this girl, too much good stuff!

Remember Sophie has a comment challenge going on as well so please do comment here or on the last post so she can win some cash towards a cool coffee table book.

So for you Sophie, here is your Portland Peek.

And no BF I did not photoshop her eyes. They are just that awesome in the perfect light!

And of course we did some more jumping.

So go leave a comment on the last post or here, I know Ms Sophie wants a book! Newberg class of 2009 your deadline is not that far away. Get a hold of me now if you want to book something before the end of the year, I am filling up fast.

Amy already had her peek and now it is Sophie’s turn to show off a bit.  Here are a quick few of my favs so far.

Sophie like Amy was super fun to work with.  She has got one of the best natural smiles I have ever had the fortune of photographing.

Soph also had great taste in clothing for the session. I loved this scarf.

I love her killer eyes in this one. They really are that sparkly!

And can you believe that she made this dress her self! Soph is an aspiring designer, and after seeing this dress I think she is well on her way!

Again I had a great time with you two and I am looking forward about shooting in Portland this weekend! We will have lots of fun I am sure. Soph I will offer you the same challenge as I did for Amy. If you can get 30 comments on this post (you, friends, family, pets who ever) I will give you $30 off one of the coffee table books I showed you.  Good luck, Amy is almost half way there!

I will see you both again this weekend!

They were very specific they wanted a totally different location, to shoot together, and not to do anything stuffy. I am pretty sure we accomplished those goals over the weekend when we did our first of two sessions at Silvercreek Falls. Here are a few of my favs so far of miss Amy, isn’t she beautiful!

The falls made a great backdrop, but really with Amy it is hard to go wrong. She is such a classic beauty!

And of course we had to do some more jumping! It was so freezing cold I did not even have to talk her into it!

Amy I had a great time with you and Sophie! I am looking forward to our second session this weekend in Portland. I already have so many I love, with a whole other session coming I have no idea how I am going to pair it down to just one gallery! You guys were so great, this weekend will be fun.

And as usual I will give you guys a comment challenge! If you can get 30 people to post a comment on this post (yes it can include you guys and your moms) I will give you $30 off one of the coffee table books I showed you! All you have to do is bug your friends and family to take a look and leave a note! See you this weekend for another fun session! Sophie’s peek will be up in the next day or so I promise!

I am now fully booked for October unless things move around on me. I have a few November sessions left open and keep my schedule pretty minimal in December so I can keep busy on all of those holiday orders coming in. If you are interested in booking a session in 2008 call or email me ASAP to set it up before I am all full.

Miss Makenzie is one of my class of 2009 senior reps, and I was lucky enough to spend some time with her entire family this last week.

The B family reminds me of a modern day “Brady Bunch”. Full of individuals for sure, but such fun as a big group. They were up for all my crazy ideas, you have to love that!

I am thinking the kids had no idea what to expect, but we tried to make it fun!

We did some JUMPING…

And of course being teens & pre-teens we had to rock out a little.

We also did some individual shots of the kids. They were all such good sports for me.

I was told certain family members *cough* Canada boys *cough* don’t like to smile. So of course I had to work my magic. You have no idea of the shenanigans going on behind the camera to get these smiles.

Such a beautiful family!

H I had a great time meeting ever last one of your family members! Thanks making the evening fun and being into my crazy ideas. I can not wait to show you all the rest very soon!

I am so excited to expand my senior portrait work here in my home town, and man I was lucky to find a super fun soon to be senior to help.

I could not ask for a better representative/spokes model. Makenzie is beautiful, smart and most of all FUN!

We had a great time tromping around Newberg during our mini session this week. We needed to get a few for some promotional materials I am working on and man it was hard to choose. Here are a few of my favorites so far. More to come!

Makenzie I had so much fun with you and your girl Sam, thanks for following me on the wild goose chase to find the perfect field. I will have more to show you soon!

If you are looking for senior portraits for the class of 2009 now is the time! The sun is out and the weather is great. My session style is laid back and lots of fun, I would love to meet more of the class of 2009! Any local area seniors & family members that comment below receive a free 8×10 or wallet sheet with their session! Give me a ring or throw me an email any time.
