Lindsey and her mom Kim came to downtown Olympia for the first part of her senior session, then we headed back to their house for the end of the session to catch the sunset and play with the family dog in their beautiful backyard.  Her sister Carly got in on the action too – check out a few of my favorites:

We’re being blessed with lots of great days for portraits this fall and this was one of the nicest ones. :)

Chris is a class of 2009 Tumwater High student.  He and his friend Chelsea met me downtown on a beautiful sunny afternoon.  We walked all over downtown and even went to his favorite pie shop – the owner agreed we could take some pictures there, but then she ran away to avoid being in them! laugh :-)  There are so many great places for portraits downtown and in the surrounding area – I doubt I’ll ever see and do it all. :)

Here are a few teasers from the session!

It doesn’t get more ‘Olympia’ than The Spar: :)

Then we headed up to Tumwater Falls Park for the last few shots:

Looking forward to seeing you soon Chris, and meeting your parents too. :)

Not only is Erin beautiful, but she is an amazingly good sport!  As a part of their feature article about creative outdoor senior photography, The Olympian called us the day before Erin’s session and asked if they could send their photographer, Tony Overman, to tag along.  We asked Erin and she agreed.  It was a gorgeous sunny day and Erin loves the beach, so we had a great time.  And, in spite of knowing that she was creating her senior portraits and likely becoming a local newspaper model at the same time, Erin was an absolute natural in front of the camera.  Thanks Erin!

Check out a few of our favorite shots!

I can’t wait to see the faces of Erin and her family when they see the whole collection!  And….that marks the end of my first Mode blog post…to Erin…from Erin!  :)
