Aly - Senior Portraits - Pioneer Square / Waterfront

My senior portrait client Aly is such an amazing person. It’s easy to see how her parents did such a great job raising her because she is so kind, sweet and caring. She is my first client to bring their dog to a session which was FANTASTIC (and a bit of a challenge haha). Aly adores her bulldog Henry and having him around at her session was so fun. Everyone wanted to pet him!

My go to girl Sophia Hutch did Aly’s hair and makeup. I love the copper and pink eye and pink lip she gave her, it really suited Aly’s beautiful blue eyes and blonde hair! It also coordinated with her pink Reebok’s + sweater in her first look.

Aly is definitely a multi-faceted kind of gal and I was amazed by how many extracurricular activities she does! She is an avid golfer (her grandfather makes her a special set of custom clubs ever year! WHAT?! So cool!). She founded the Wellness Club at her school and wants to help her fellow students focus on mental health and self care in fun ways. She also did History Bowl at her school. We bonded over how much we both love the shows “The Great British Bake Off” and “Queer Eye” 💖

All in all, it was a lovely experience getting to know Aly, her mom Stacey and her brother Mac at her session. I love when family’s are super close like theirs. I am so grateful to have such nice clients!

Rosa - Senior Portraits- Pioneer Square + Seattle Waterfront

My senior portrait client Rosa is DROP DEAD FREAKIN' GORGEOUS! I had a wonderful time spending a day with her and exploring around Pioneer Square and the waterfront for her portrait session. I've never done a proper session in Pioneer Square so it was super fun to find all the beautiful details and historic buildings throughout the area. The fall leaves and changing colors really looked amazing.

We started the day at my apartment. I chatted with Rosa's amazing mom Alison while Rosa got glammed up with hair & makeup by the fantastic Sophia Hutch! I had a blast getting to know everyone better.

We went for a soft glam look and it looked so spectacular on Rosa. I really love when my clients choose my most premier portrait collection. Senior portraits become a very memorable and special experience with a full makeover (as well as exclusive products, the highest amount of final images + more)!

I love the 3 outfits that Rosa came up with for her session. It was fun giving her some ideas but she did 95% of it herself! That pink satin flare sleeve blouse was so so cool and fun to watch her move in.

Rosa loves fashion and wants to explore business as well after she graduates from Seattle Prep. She has modeled partially in Portland but wants to explore modeling further when she heads off to college, which I think would be a total no-brainer because she is gorgeous, has a great smile and super friendly and sweet personality! Rosa is Filipina, African American, and European. Such a beautiful young lady.

I am so lucky to have special clients like Rosa & her momma Alison. So grateful to have met you both!
