Zach - Senior Portraits - Pioneer Square / Waterfront

Eeeek, I am the worst at blogging my sessions!

I photographed Zach in the fall on a Seahawks game day in Pioneer Square and it was SUPER busy. We somehow managed to make it look not so busy with moving and angling around the crowds :) We also found this cool pop-up art piece that was a giant mirrored object that has since vanished.

He is such an intelligent and nice young man. He’s taking a ton of advanced/AP classes and working part time while still in high school! With his work ethic and good attitude, he’s going to go far.

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!

Kathleen - Senior Portraits - Seattle Waterfront

Kathleen is a soon to be Marketing major graduate of Seattle University. She's originally from Singapore and was active in different activities, honor society and her sorority.

We had a blast shooting on the waterfront by the Ferris wheel in downtown Seattle. It was a mega busy Saturday night with a lot of prom going teenagers hanging about, but Kathleen was super patient with the portrait process and me doing crazy poses to crop people out as I was photographing her :) Really need to have someone do a behind the scenes of me working with my clients because I can look pretty dang cray with my squats and stance.

Kathleen has great style and was wearing some awesome rings and opal hoop earrings I was seriously envious of! She did glam sunset inspired eye makeup on herself too which went amazing with our sunset on the waterfront vibe.

Have an amazing time with your family on your graduation trip around Europe! You deserve it lovely lady! x
