Senior series

I've been doing a lot of fun senior portraits lately. Gone are the days of stuffy studio poses. These kids are bringing the energy, thinking outside the box, even bringing their friends.

Senior session

Had a great Senior Session on Bainbridge Island recently. Mitch, my senior, wanted a couple of long time friends involved with the pictures. We had a great time together creating a whole series of images that capture not only Mitch's senior year, but also his friendships.
This inspires me to do more "friendship" series with my seniors. How fun!

Senior Time

This is the time of year when High School Juniors start thinking ahead to their Senior Year. As part of my new Vashon venture I created a series of ads for the Vashon H.S. newspaper. All the kids in the ads are Vashon teens.
Wanted to share.

Tis the Season for Seniors!

Mid October is usually the deadline for submitting High School Senior portraits to your yearbook.

I've been inundated with calls from frantic MoHSS (moms of high school seniors). They realized the deadline is right around the corner and their son/daughter decided at the last minute that maybe it would be cool to have a Senior Portrait done. After all, a Senior Portrait now-a-days, is so much more than a stuffy, stiff studio portrait.

It's all about showing off who they are, what their interest are and where they are going. The sky's the limit with these images.

Senior Portraits

It's that time of year again when high school seniors start getting that far away, dreamy look in their eyes. Summer is coming, collage applications are done, and just a few more finals to go!

Seniors start handing out wallets of their senior portrait to friends, or maybe they are passing around these new, way cool mini storybooks of their senior sessions. A portrait session for most Seniors now-a-days is so much more than a stiff, formal, studio session.
Sorry Mom and Dad!
They want to move around, show off their personalities, go to their favorite "hang out" spots. I don't blame them...this is a big moment in their lives. They are standing on the edge of the rest of their lives. It's scary, exciting, and liberating. A story book or collection of images that illustrate who they are right now is the perfect thing for them (and Mom) to carry with them as they embark on the future.

All you Juniors out there....Don't waste any time! Summer is the perfect time to get your Senior portraits done. It'll be fun. I promise!
