East Wenatchee senior portraits

Seventeen and interested in attending the University of Washington. Cross-country runner, tall, good-lookin' kid, did I mention great hair? One of the things I love most about shooting senior portraits is all that exhuberance. All that possibility. That youth and unlimited future opening right there in front of them. I always leave a session happy for the prospect of our world, in the hands of these young kids with big ideas and bigger hearts. Just leaves me hopeful, and that my friends, is a great place to be. Good luck, Carl, in all that you do!

You may remember No. 1 from 2 years ago, and now, no. 2 is a senior herself. One of the benefits of being a photographer is getting to shoot your kids whenever the mood strikes. One of the real life problems of being a photographer is you never seem to get around to doing the actual shooting. With her high school yearbook photo deadline looming, I am having to get creative in finding a few minutes here and there where Carsey and I can actually get together long enough to make a few frames. A couple days ago, she received some boots in the mail she had ordered online and, like many teen girls, immediately ran upstairs to try on the outfit that the boots completed. When she came downstairs to show off, I realized right then was a perfect moment. I convinced her to just walk outside with me, 5 minutes top, I promise, and thus began the first of several mini-mini-mini "sessions" we'll use to build together a full "senior session" before the yearbook deadline. This is a first look of what we came up with.

Oh, and Carsey...Love you to the moon baby.

WHS senior: Molly [Wenatchee senior photography]

Molly first contacted me a bit worried she had waited too late to arrange her senior photos. A quick check of my schedule, and a desire to always "make it work" for my clients, and we had a date that worked. We met down by the water on one of our beautiful late summer afternoons so prevalent in Wenatchee. Molly brought her BFF, Lynette, and I got to spend a fun little session learning a bit about these two sweet, adorable graduating seniors. When Molly told me she was interested in one of our local nursing programs, I thought it sounded like a great fit. She was very open and all-around nice and I bet she would make an awesome addition to that most honorable of professions. Good luck, Molly (and Lynette!), you were a joy to meet!

Look, a mythical senior boy! (I say that because it seems like I shoot so many more girls.) This proves they exist! Here's a first look at Carl's senior session.

Excited for her future and ready to wring out all the senior year excitement she can, Molly spent a little time with me on a warm, late-summer afternoon sharing a bit of her plans. Have the best year ever, Molly!
