Sunglasses, Prom Dress and Crew

Here is my first official Senior from the Class of 2009! We had a lot of fun. We started at Esther Short Park and there was some kind of concert/fair going strong. It was quite the challenge to get photos without all the people in the background. My senior brought a variety of clothing which gives her photos such different looks. I had her crawling around in the bushes right at first and I think she wondered what she had gotten herself into! She is around 6 ft tall and has the most incredible-to-die-for long legs! After we had played downtown, she wanted to go to where the Vancouver Lake Crew team keeps its boats and where they practice. The place had been completely destroyed by the Tornado early this spring. When she told me the story, it made my heart hurt! It's amazing how they were able to rebuild after such a tragedy. I especially love the photos of her down on the dock with her green dress. You can tell that she is very comfortable down there by the water. She had a chest full to medals to prove it! The scenery was absolutely beautiful.

Eyes to Die For!

This beautiful senior just squeaked by with getting her senior photos done! She is now my official last 2008 senior! We went downtown Portland for these great images. She brought her friend who is my makeup artist along with her. They had fun coming up with different looks. The last outfit was supposed to be "Emo and Dark", but she is just too gorgeous to pull it off! When I had her sit on the purple steps, she lounged herself and then put her feet up. I love the shot with her in the doorway. I think you will agree that she has got killer eyes! She just had a new tattoo put on her back when she graduated and we got some wonderful shots of it. She is going to be moving out of state this summer (sniff, sniff) I wish her all the best!
