Olympia High - Class of 2009 - Chelsea

Chelsea and her mom met us at the Olympia Yacht Club for her senior portriats - we got to shoot all over the waterfront and then she set sail in her own little sailboat and gave a show of her skills - when we were done she sailed off into the sunset - literally! ;-)

North Thurston High School Class of 2009 - Juan

Juan and Zane are both seniors at North Thurston High School in Lacey and we met them at the soccer field and then headed downtown for a fun fall session.

This looks like a studio shot, but it’s dark trees behind him - we love tricks with light. ;-)

Then we headed downtown…

The super hero graffiti wall has been popular this year. :)

North Thurston High Class of 2009 - Zane

Zane signed up to be our rep for his high school this year - it was fun working with him on that and we finally hooked up to do his senior portrait session in time to get the yearbook photos in.  We met him and his friend Juan at the soccer fields in Lacey (they’re both awesome soccer players)  and then headed downtown to get some urban shots.  Here are a few of my favorites:

Tumwater High Class of 2009 - Lindsey M

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:

Class of 2009 - Chris C

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!

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. :)
