My evening with Mia!

We FINALLY had beautiful weather and the most gorgeous sunset. I definitely can’t say that for every shoot I’ve had this year. Between the smoke and unpredictable weather, it’s been a challenging summer, but Mia got the perfect night.

She and her mom, Kate, showed up with the cutest outfits, and Mia came prepared. She had poses saved, knew what she wanted, and had already decided we were putting flowers in her boots. The girl had a vision!

I love when my seniors bring ideas to their session. We can absolutely create the images you’ve been dreaming about, and then we build so much more around them. Mia ended up with more than 70 images in her final gallery, several adorable outfits, the most spectacular summer tan, and of course we had to get close enough to show off those ridiculously cute freckles.

I had photographed her mom Kate before too, so everyone already knew what to expect, which made the whole evening so easy and fun.

But my favorite part might have been the very end. The sky turned the prettiest orangey color and we had Mia spinning and dancing in that last bit of summer light. Peak summer senior session.

Thank you Mia and Kate! You guys were the best!

Paisley is a true cowgirl. She rides both Western and English, and if you ask her where she feels most like herself, it’s in a pair of jeans, cowboy boots and her belt.

But like most girls, there’s another side to her too. The one who wants to put on a dress and frolic through a field of flowers. And we definitely did both:)

Paisley also has the best dry sense of humor. At her shoot she told me she’d seen photos of another girl wearing a cowboy hat backwards for the ENTIRE shoot and it was driving her crazy. 😂 I had to agree. Western might be trendy right now, but this girl is the real deal.

Going into her reveal, Paisley was most excited to see the photos in her jeans and belt because she was sure those would be her favorites. And then she saw the denim dress photos and suddenly we had a contender.

That’s one of my favorite things about a senior session. You can go into it absolutely sure you know which outfit or location you’re going to love most, and then the photos surprise you.

I’ve had so much fun working with Paisley and her parents and putting together her final order. I cannot WAIT for them to see her album and canvases all finished.

Thank you for choosing me, Paisley. I loved getting to photograph every side of you!

Finlee is a bucket of sunshine. We met and about five minutes later we were already planning our next shoot together.

I photographed her brother back in 2020, and he’s friends with my son, so in my head Finlee is still the little girl I remember running around and riding her horse. Which might explain why I kept accidentally calling her Preslee during her shoot and then immediately apologizing. 😂

Her grandma came to her photo reveal, and the animation between her and Finlee’s mom was priceless. They were absolutely blown away by her beauty, and so was I. I’ve known her mom for a decade, and she is every bit as bubbly and full of life as Finlee, so clearly we know where she gets it.

Finlee, you are pure sunshine and I cannot WAIT for our horse shoot. This one isn’t over yet.

Annika’s session was a BIG adventure. This was the one where I got a thorn stuck so far into my thumb that I almost had to go to the emergency room to have it removed. So that should give you some idea of what kind of adventure we were on 😂

We climbed a LOT of hills looking for the best viewpoints, and it paid off with one of the most incredible sunsets at the top. Some of my very favorite images from her entire session came from up there.

When you first meet Annika, she’s quiet and reserved, but about halfway through the shoot I could really see her opening up and having so much fun. Of course, it’s also pretty hard to stay quiet and reserved when you’re hiking up huge hills in cowboy boots with your photographer who apparently has no concern for her own personal safety.

At the very end of the shoot we found the most beautiful patch of wildflowers and somehow managed to make this one area feel like five completely different locations.

Annika is a volleyball player and is heading into her final season, which she’s really looking forward to. It was so nice getting to know you and your mom and dad, Annika. I hope you have the VERY best senior year!

Quinn Massari at a vineyard just felt right. With a last name like Massari and the way this kid dresses, I kept joking that these looked less like senior photos and more like the beginning of his future career as an Italian winemaker. 😂

Quinn showed up looking GOOD, which clearly runs in the family because his mom was there and was equally impeccably dressed. He has such great taste and honestly this location could not have fit him better.

Quinn is a football player at Lakeridge and was right in the middle of getting ready for his senior season when we shot these, which is such an exciting way to head into senior year. He’s also a golfer, so of course we had to grab a few on the golf course while we were there.

I still think Massari Vineyards has a pretty good ring to it, just saying.

Hope you have the BEST senior year, Quinn, and good luck with your football season!

Sammy was very specific about what she wanted for her senior shoot: rustic fences, sunset, golden grasses. NO FLOWERS.

Wait. No flowers? Okayyyyy, that’s a new one!! 😂

My life is basically checking fields for tall grasses and gardens for the status of the flowers, so I kind of loved that someone hated flowers and knew exactly what she wanted.

Our location had all the elements: barn, fences, open fields. We started with a fringe dress, cowboy hat and boots, which was perfect, and worked our way into some Seven jeans and Sammy’s championship belt buckles (let’s gooooooo) until finally the star arrived: her horse, Adam.

From then on, it was pretty straightforward. We were going to photograph these two together in their natural element and really try to show the connection between them.

I love my horse girl photos so much. And these sunset images are some of my favorites I’ve taken this year. Thank you Sammy for the fun evening! You were amazing and I had so much fun!

I love the trend of bringing your favorite stuffed animal from childhood to your senior photo shoot. I’m such a sentimental person, and I have my own Paddington Bear that I’ve saved from childhood. Oh my God, that bear is OLD now. 😂 But I think those sweet childhood memories should absolutely be captured.

Valeria is such a sweet, quiet girl with a romantic flair. She loves to play guitar and wanted to make that an essential part of her photo shoot. She just has all the girly things: super long, beautiful hair, very feminine clothing choices, and of course, she had an adorable House of CB dress.

Her mom helped her choose everything perfectly, and I have to give a shoutout to all the amazing moms I’ve had this year who have helped their daughters organize and pull off the perfect senior photo shoots. You guys are the best.

Thank you, Valeria and Anne, for such an amazing day together. I loved capturing all these little pieces of who Valeria is right now, including a little piece of who she was when she was little. ❤️

Anyone who knows me knows that I love redheads. I LOVE photographing redheads, and so far I’ve had a couple of really amazing redheads this season, and Hailey was one of them.

Not only is she a redhead with the cutest freckles ever, she has the bluest aqua eyes you’ve ever seen. If you have this girl tip her head up to the sky, her eyes are literally sapphires.

Hailey is part goofy, part should-be-an-actress, part should-be-a-character-in-a-period-film. She just has the elegance of a person from another generation.

In fact, she brought one of her grandmother’s vintage dresses from the 1950s. It’s the blue one in these photos, and she fits it like a glove. She looks like she’s about ready to get off the train and meet her boyfriend coming home from the war, right? Am I right?

Anyway, I had the most amazing time editing these photos because everything about them is exactly what I love about photography. The colors, the contrast, the location. I just think they are absolute perfection.

What do you guys think?

Meet Naillon, who came down from the little town of Adna, Washington for his senior photos!

The first thing you should know about Naillon is that he is FUNNY. It took him a minute to realize this was not going to be some super serious photo shoot. We were going to have fun, laugh a lot, and just make some really great photos. And as soon as he figured that out, he totally relaxed and we had so much fun.

His mom brought a bunch of clothing options in the back of the car and Naillon basically said, “Just tell me what you want me to wear and I’ll wear it.” I’m not mad about it!

Naillon is a casual guy and he loves football, so we kept everything really true to him. Nice sweats and a shirt he would normally wear, a little dressier with a button-up, and of course his football jersey for the third outfit.

Senior photos do not have to be fancy to look great. I LOVE how these turned out. He looks so handsome and relaxed and completely himself.

And you have to check out the last two photos because those were totally Naillon’s idea. As the sun was setting he looked at me and said, “So I’m gonna walk through a field and touch the flowers, right? That’s what you do at a sunset shoot, right?”

Indeed, Naillon. Indeed.
