We got a chance to get out and enjoy the nice weather this weekend for Kellen’s senior photo session.  This great guy was at ease in front of the camera and made my job easy right from the start.   I have so many favorites from this session. Here are just a few…

Kim and Kellen – thanks for such a great time this weekend.  You were a natural, Kellen!  I hope you enjoyed your sneak peek and I’ll have the rest to you soon.

I’m sitting here working on a FABULOUS new What to Wear guide for my high school seniors and just had to share some images on the blog.   I LOVE SENIORS!  And I just want to remind all of you that will be graduating in 2011… book your sessions THIS SUMMER! Don’t wait until September and October to contact me.  I book out several months in advance and I had to turn away many many seniors last year.  I will open my summer calendar in May so watch for announcements that it’s time to start booking summer sessions.

Here are a few teens from a workshop I attended in Seattle this summer.  We shot in the alleyways behind Qwest field. It was so much fun.   The girls did a great job of putting together fun and funky outfits.  More info on all of that in the guide!

My last senior of the season… sigh.  I have found that I LOVE photographing high school seniors and Karissa could not have been more fun!  A suitcase full of clothes and a sassy little personality – she knew how to work the camera. And I loved it!  We have been planning this session since July and I think we got it in just in time before fall officially set in.

I loved photographing you, Karissa.  I really had the hardest time choosing photos for this blog post.  I have so many favorites!  I hope you enjoy your sneak peek…

And to the seniors out there, I will begin taking senior sessions again in spring.  My spring-fall dates book quickly, so 2011 seniors please don’t wait too long to contact me.  Summer is a great time for your sessions!

Now… on to a fall and winter full of newborn yumminess!  Babies, babies and more babies on the books! Can’t wait!

TJ | Class of 2010

October 10, 2009

It doesn’t seem possible that TJ could be old enough to be graduating already.  My little cousin who was once obsessed with the choo-choo train and loved wearing his little boots everywhere (just like his dad) is now 18 and all grown up.    It was nice getting a chance to photograph him this week.  We got some great shots.  Here are just a few for now…

I  had such a great time with Toni.  She has such a bubbly, fun personality and an infectious smile.    We chatted and laughed the entire session.   Such a natural beauty.

Thank you so much for such a great session – you were truly so much fun!  You even danced and twirled for me!   We had a great session and I’m so glad you found those car keys!  :)

Here is your sneak peek… enjoy!

There is something about photographing seniors that makes me a bit sad… maybe it’s because I’m a mom and I know that these beautiful kids are soon to be all grown up and heading out on their own in the world. Maybe it’s that I know in the blink of an eye I will be watching my own son and daughter graduate from high school. Or maybe it’s just that these young, amazing, beautiful kids just make me feel old!

Meet Whitney, class of 2010. We had a great time last week during her session with lots of clothing changes, an awesome location and my favorite kind of sky – dark and moody. I had a hard time choosing which to post here because you truly take amazing photos, Whitney! I hope you enjoy your sneak peek! And don’t cry Mom… I know she looks so grown up here. *sigh*…
