::::Warner Kids 2009::::

All I want for Christmas is some nice portraits of my own kids! I FINALLY did some holiday portraits with my kids last weekend. The baby cried the whole time, but between the tears we got some pretty cute shots. Note to self. Never try to work in a portrait session after nap time (grumpy baby). The giant lollipop helped make it FUN!

Tyrel ::::Class of 2010::::

Tyrel is a true blue all American guy. It was such an honor to be able to capture his senior portraits. Thanks Tyrel you were great, and your portraits turned out awesome!!

Ju'Lee :::Class of 2010:::

This girl has the sweetest smile and a vibrant personality. I so enjoyed working with her to create memories of her senior year to last a lifetime!! This session had the brightest colors I've seen in a long time. Ju'Lee has the most wonderful completion, soft and angelic and absolutely no retouching needed, YEAH! I LOVE sesisons in the Fall! Thank You Ju'Lee for choosing me to capture your senior memories.

:::Courtney, Class of 2010:::

This session was more fun than a photographer should be allowed to have!! Great weather, gorgeous settings, beautiful girl. Courtney is grace, style, beauty, and fun. I'm so very blessed to be her choice for her senior portraits. It's really a once in a lifetime event that makes memories to last forever! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Courtney for letting me do this session. Fabulous choice for location as well!


Some of the best sessions are ones in special locations like this one. This park is so full of gorgeous vignettes it's overwhelming.

Brianna, Class of 2010

Effervescent is one of the verbs to describe this charming down to earth girl. Brianna is sweet, charming and real. {cute} Loved working with you Brianna your attitude shines in every frame!!
You embody this year's theme "LIFE is SWEET"!!

Jasmyne, Class of 2010

This session was HOT, as in the weather! I think it was 101 degrees out in the sun and quite humid for Oregon. Jasmyne is such a beauty that she just looked radiant in all the heat.
Keep in mind that these last few days of Summer heat are perfect to catch a unique water session!!
Jasmyne's session choice was "Dark Chocolate". Coming soon, the look book for session location choices.



Before your session you can check out the look book for session location and posing ideas.
These photos from Jasmyne's session are just a small sample of some of the amazing head shots we got.

Choices, Choices

Here's a quick example of the ways to change up the same photo with some artistic flare. One is just sepia toned the other has a fine art texture overlay and the third choice is a desaturated version of the original color shot.

Bryar, down home

I've finally finished Bryar's sessions! Though not for lack of trying to get done, Bryar has a very busy schedule, and it seemed every time I had an opening it wasn't the right time or worse it was an awful rainy day. This time it was sunny and beautiful. I'm very pleased with Bryar's second session, he has a great personality that shows in each picture.

Michelle, the close of 09

Michelle had a perfect day for really beautiful photography, it helped even more that she's absolutely beautiful herself.
I put her through several outfit and location changes to get maximum variety. I think we did really well. She has such a wonderful smile, it just lights up her whole face.

Michelle is my last senior for the class of 09, I'm now booking for 2010! Book now to get in the exclusive limited edition waterfall sessions for July & August.

Thank you for choosing me to capture your senior portraits, it was a pleasure!

Sarah, second time around

There was so much to discover during Sarah's first session I just could'nt fit it all in. Thankfully the weather was more than cooperative for her. I just love the way Sarah shines with that sweet girl next door look, and to bring that out in her portraits we did go next door again! Thank you so much for the beautiful surroundings to create artistic portraits in! We also hit the pool to start the kick off of the summer water sessions I'll be offering in July, book now if you're game!

Tanner, Pure Country

Tanner is a country boy at heart, he loves the river and wanted his session done around his home and at the river. What a great afternoon too, the weather is finally on the upturn from all the cold days we've had lately. Thank you Tanner for being such a real, earthy guy. You rock!

Thanks to 2009
