Urban Photo Shoot

West Linn Senior Photographer, Alexandra's Senior Photos

When I photograph in Portland, I try to find new spots and bring some of the beautiful personality our city conveys. We really struck it right with Alexandra’s senior photo shoot. She wore her beautiful sparkly prom dress, which looks so pretty against the colorful murals, and the tall buildings too. She also brought her doggie, which I always love! In one of the photos, Alexandra looks like she has fairy wings, and who doesn’t want fairy wings?? We ended the shoot by the river, which never fails to shine! Check out her photos, you won’t be disappointed. (Click photo to enlarge.)

West Linn Photographer, Haley's Senior Portraits

I am using this down time to catch up on posting my blogs and am so happy to finish Haley’s senior photos. What an awesome session we had. Haley brought lots of fun outfits, along with her wonderful energy. She has a lovely style, that just makes you smile! As we walked around Portland, we played with different backdrops like a beautiful sculpture/art wall and an old brick wall. Her bright colors matched the Fall leaves beautifully! I always love when people bring their guitars, and you should see this girl skateboard! Thanks for making this such a fun session, Haley!

Portland Wedding Photographer, Jennifer and Erik's Portland Wedding

This was such a fun photo shoot - a surprise wedding in the Park Blocks in Portland! Jennifer & Erik surprised their daughters by throwing themselves a wedding ceremony. The girls had no idea, they just thought they were getting together for a fun weekend in Portland and to their surprise their parents got married - with their best friend as the officiant. It was so sweet and the love was flowing! The girls were so excited and happy for them; it was such a beautiful day, warm and perfect. They frolicked through the city after the ceremony then headed to the Nines Hotel, where we went straight up to the top bar of Departures.  I especially love the pictures of all of them on the roof. The champagne was popped and celebrations continued. It was so awesome to be their photographer to capture a very special moment for them.

West Linn Senior Photo Photographer, June 2019 GRAD

I am so happy to share June's Senior Photo shoot. We had such a wonderful session photographing in Portland, surrounded by sunshine and the beautiful cityscape. As we cruised around the riverside,  we found some cool graffiti with June's name - so fun and it made a cool photo.  I wish June all the best in her future. I have a strong feeling she is going to go far. Dream big June and I wish you all the best, happy graduation!

West Linn Senior Photographer, Grace's Senior Photos 2019 GRAD

I am loving Grace's senior photos! We photographed in Portland for her session and they are so pretty. It was a busy day - the city was hustling and bustling, bringing a fun energy and colors to the photos. Grace chose 3 looks  - a striking black jumpsuit and 2 super cute dresses.  She is an avid skier and on the West Linn Ski Team,  so we photographed her in the city with her beloved skis just to add to the fun. I love it when the seniors incorporate their hobbies with the photos. Grace was so wonderful to photograph with and I just love her photos.

West Linn Photographer, Carina's Senior Photos

With the new year upon us, I am playing catch up on all my blogs and I am so happy to being sharing Carina's Senior Photo Blog today. Carina's senior photo shoot was awesome, we headed into Portland and photographed around Providence Park, Carina is a big fan of the Portland Thorns FC and the Portland Timbers - so there was no funner place to use as our backdrop. She was also a trooper to model on a 90 degree summer day, but that didn't stop us from having fun and capturing some beautiful photos of her, and to top it off we had some extra time to visit the Portland Rose Garden, it smelled amazing and there were flowers everywhere. This was a super fun photo shoot. I hope you enjoy Carina's photos as much as I do.   

Oregon City Photographer, Gabi's Senior Photo Shoot

Gabi chose to head into Portland for her Senior Photo shoot. We photographed her in front of some awesome colors, between the gorgeous wheat grass, cornflowers and a mural she just shines. She is so beautiful and was a natural in front of the camera. I hope you enjoy her photos.

West Linn Photographer, Emily's Senior Portraits

I'm catching up with my blog...YAY! It's been a while and I am really excited to share. Here are some of my favorite photos from Emily's Senior Photo Shoot. I love her outfits, she looks so pretty and she pops with the fun architecture. This striped romper is so cute & fun! Going downtown Portland always brings some awesome elements & textures to the photos and I'm loving the black & white building with her b/w stripes. I wish you all the best at College, you are going to go far - you have a wonderful outlook and bright shining spirit. Enjoy!
