Making Team Headshots Fun: The Power of Posing with Pets

Team headshots can be lots of fun and bring out each individual personality, especially when you bring along your best friend! I recently took outside headshots of a local company for their website and marketing materials. After all the serious shots were taken, we had everyone snuggle in and pose with their dog. You can see how powerful their connections are in how relaxed and happy everyone looks! I love how this series turned out - it’s absolutely adorable!

Tristan's Senior Photos, West Linn Senior Photographer

I’m looking back at some of my photos from last year. Tristan looks so awesome in all of his Senior Photos. I love photographing in the woods and in nature in general. River pics are always fun to photograph, and Tristan's were no different! I love catching the sun as it starts to set - it creates such a beautiful effect with the light.

Don’t Miss Your 2025 Yearbook Senior Photo Deadlines!

Senior year is an exciting time, but it can also be busy with deadlines and to-dos, especially when it comes to your senior yearbook photo. I know how important it is to get that perfect shot in before the deadline, so I’ve compiled a list of senior photo deadlines for local schools to help you stay on track. I put general timeframes for some based on last year’s dates for schools that haven’t posted them yet.

Here’s the local deadlines:

• Canby High School: Mid-November 2024 (based on last year's date)

• Gladstone High School: Early-November 2024 (based on last years date)

Fall is the perfect season to capture you with the beautiful colors of autumn as your backdrop. Whether you want vibrant leaves, an urban photoshoot in Portland, or something else, we can create a personalized session that highlights your unique style and personality.

What to Expect from Your Fall Senior Session

Once we schedule a date, we’ll meet for a short consultation to talk about ideas for your shoot. I love working together to plan something that feels authentic to who you are. We’ll go over outfit ideas (typically 2-3 looks) and locations that bring out the best in you. The shoot itself lasts up to 2 hours, giving us plenty of time to capture a variety of poses and vibes, from fun and carefree to classic and elegant.

Have a favorite hobby or sport? Great! Bring along props and I’ll help showcase your passion!

You can check out some examples of my previous work in my Senior Gallery. I can’t wait to help you create photos you’ll love for years to come!

Rylee's Senior Photos, West Linn Senior Photographer

Happy to share some beautiful photos of Rylee from her senior photo shoot last Fall. Her different looks are all stunning! We spent most of our time in the gardens with the gorgeous flowers as a backdrop. The pop of red against her jean overalls on the stairs is such a fun look! And her sweater in front of the white barn looks so cozy!! Thank you, Rylee - you were awesome to photograph!

Riley's Senior Photos, West Linn Senior Photographer

One of the things I love about Senior Photography is talking to people about their interests, hobbies, and passions. I try to incorporate their loves into their senior photos. Riley is such an awesome young man who loves the outdoors, birdwatching, and volunteering at local parks. He has spent a lot of time giving back to our local parks, pulling out invasive weeds, and helping to maintain the health of our woods. I’m loving all the looks Riley brought to his shoot and especially his happy spirit - I just love his photos.

He looks like an all-around handsome outdoorsman! Thank you for all you do, Riley, and enjoy the rest of your summer!

Henry's Senior Photos, West Linn Senior Photographer

We had a fantastic senior photo shoot with Henry at the river and several other locations. I love the photos of Henry on his motorcycle - it shows off his adventurous spirit and love for the outdoors.

Henry looks awesome throughout the shoot with his different looks. We were lucky to capture a great shot of him with his cat too. We got only one shot before he jumped out of Henry’s arms! And we ended with the beautiful Oregon City waterfalls with Henry and his Mom, I just love it when we get a keepsake photo with a parent too!

It was a great to work with him and create memorable images that he’ll enjoy for years to come. Enjoy the rest of your summer, Henry!!

Kate's Headshot Session, Portland Headshot Photographer

When it comes to professional headshots, few places hold as much weight and significance as a law firm. The need for portraying credibility, trustworthiness, and competence is paramount in the legal industry. I loved photographing all the lawyers at Sokol Larkin. They did an amazing job updating their website with everyone’s headshots on their profile pages.

Kate is a perfect example of the classic headshot - beautiful lighting, strong, confident poses, and, of course, trustworthiness.

Check out their site for more examples of their headshots.
