Lacrosse-playing, drumming senior

T is a great guy, and we had a good time down in the Pearl District. He's a drummer in a band and plays lacrosse at his high school, so we wanted to feature that a bit.
A little texture and some great colors in this first one...I love this spot!

Hope you enjoy your sneak peek, T!

Beautiful sisters at the mansion

A dear friend from Arizona came up here to get her gorgeous daughters photographed last week. Ok, maybe she didn't come up just to see me, :) she may have also been here to spend time with her in-laws, but I can delude myself just a bit, can't I?
We decided to stop at Pittock Mansion for our session, there's such variety there....gorgeous stone, perfect gardens and fantastic city views. There's no limit to the possibilities there.
So, without further ado.....here are sweet Z and B.......

We did a few shots with their gorgeous mom too:

Lollipops make the world a little better...every time!

C's sneak peek

I had such fun the other day at the home of this senior. They have this gorgeous huge park just in their back yard, it was fantastic! C was the sweetest, such a great guy, you can just tell.

Smiling was really second nature to him, but I managed to get a few serious ones from him too.



We fit in some family shots too.....C and his sister T just seem to have the greatest relationship, honestly liked being around each other and had a lot of fun together. I'm really crossing my fingers that my kids are like that when they're in high school. :)

Beautiful T......wow, I hope I get to do her senior portraits in a couple of years!
The other member of the family....Cassie.....and we need to put the focus on her for sure! :)
Just one quick shot of the whole family. Thanks so much, all of you! It was so fun.

First Communion beauty

We've been trying for a date for months to record sweet R in her First Communion gown, but the weather just wouldn't cooperate with us. Her mother made this beautiful dress and wanted something just a little different than the typical First Communion photographs. I hope we accomplished that here.

R had so many of her own ideas...so many fun poses that she wanted to try. Here's one for you, R!



They treated us to dishes of gelato after the session, I tried a bite of Avocado (yum!) but ate Rose gelato, which tastes exactly like roses smell....crazy! We had such a great time, thanks to you both!

Goldrush and jumping!

Meet Goldrush. He was our faithful companion on one of my shoots from the weekend. He was quiet and posed just as we placed him...and preferred to look at the water rather than jumping in. Hmmmm, easier to photograph! :)
M and L, two others on the shoot, ;) and they loved to leap! Some really impressive height in the jumps from these two!
What a gorgeous family I had the luck to photograph! Sweet, fun and just a photographer's dream. The kids were so well-behaved that it may have been one of my quickest sessions yet!

The weather was perfect, and the garden was gorgeous! We had to tiptoe a bit around a wedding being held there at the same time, lucky bride chose a perfect day!

Look at these two cuties together....I love it!

And M loved to pose for me, we had a lot of fun keeping expressions real and flipping around for a quick shot. More of an outtake here, but I loved the movement.


Thanks so much guys, that was such fun!
