Stephanie knows how to work hard and play hard. She’s a member of her HS dance team – plans for after HS include a move to AZ for college and to eventually become a dentist (doesn’t she have a GREAT smile!). We had the chance to catch her outdoors-y side, starting with a hike down to the creek near her house and then heading up the road a half mile or so to her grandma’s ranch so we could include her horse, Chance, in the shoot – such a cool spot for fun photos!

Chance is the sweetest horse – he went along with everything we asked, a great model!

Stephanie has a smile that literally doesn’t quit – this next shot is what we got when we asked her to try to give us some ’serious attitude’ – lol! :)

Thanks, Stephanie – you are a kick to work with – hope you enjoyed this little preview – we can’t wait to show you the rest! :)

Stephanie is one of our Class of 2010 senior models – representing mOde at North Thurston High School in Lacey.  Erin and I both just loved all the pictures from her session – hard to post just a few!

These were downtown Olympia on a sunny day – we love the downtown area for portraits, so much variety and fun in the locations and backdrops!

Hey, Ram seniors – ya want unique photos that tell the world who you are?? Find Stephanie and get one of her rep cards – then get in touch – the yearbook deadline is gonna be here before you know it! :)

We had a blast with the North Thurston High Cheer Squad — Here’s a sneak peak, the gallery’ll be posted tomorrow and if you’re on the contact list you’ll get the link. ;-)

Because of the time we’ve spent watching/photographing T-Bird girls’ volleyball, we felt like we already knew Katrina – her fiery drive and constant chatter to pump up her teammates combine with her amazing talent to make her a real standout on the team :)  So, we were especially excited when she chose us to create her amazing senior photos!  Turns out she carries that fiery nature off the court, too – how could we not have a great time when our client is so ready to have fun in front of our cameras?

Our shoot was off to a great start – even though the tours had ended for the day, we managed to sweet talk the crew of the Lady Washington (docked in Oly for a 3-day visit) into letting letting Bill and Katrina sneak on board for some fun shots….does this ship look at all familiar? ;) hint: ’she’ starred as the HMS Interceptor, stolen to chase down the Black Pearl in “Pirates of the Caribbean:  The Curse of the Black Pearl”….sadly, Johnny Depp was nowhere to be found, but we had great fun anyway! (and…for all you Trekkie nerds out there, lol, she also made an appearance in Star Trek Generations….thank you, Wikipedia!! ;)

As our entourage moved through downtown Olympia, we stopped in to (McMenamin’s) The Spar and found inspiration in the amazing historical architecture and eclectic decor….

Not only is Katrina a kick to be around, she has a great sense of style and about a million expressions – and she didn’t hold back! Take a look at these shots and you’ll see what I mean ;)

Thanks, Katrina – we had so much fun working with you – hope you like this sneak peek – we can’t wait to show you the rest!!
