Class of 2009 - Chris C

September 9, 2008 – 8:11 am

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. :)

Class of 2009 - Erin L

September 1, 2008 – 9:23 am

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!

Class of 2009 - Jen W

August 22, 2008 – 2:59 pm

Jen is a senior this year at Tumwater High - we went downtown for her session and she brought her friend Erin (and her mom Erin) :)

We had some windy and rainy weather, but the awesome clouds made it all worthwhile (for me at least - lol) Jen saw these already and she was pretty dang excited about them so I guess it was worth it for her too!

Here is the slideshow (turn up the volume!):

Model ~ Ember Johnson

June 23, 2008 – 9:10 pm

I met up with Ember, an aspiring young model, and her mom Lori at Lake Wenatchee last week. She hired us to take some portfolio pictures. Looking though the images now it looks like a sunny day at the beach, but the reality was that the wind was blowing about 40MPH and it was hard to even stand up! Communcation was tough too - yelling from just a few feet away was the only way to be heard. Ember was a trooper - it tooks guts and determination to model swimwear on that beach!!
