I had the pleasure of photographing Miss Ashley for her senior photos. Her mom had tried to schedule a session before graduation but unfortunately I was booked up until last week.

She quickly became one of my favorite subjects because she thought my jokes were hysterical. As some of you know, I  make random odd jokes throughout my sessions to get people to loosen up and give me a laugh. I’m usually laughed at because they think I’m weird or they laugh just to make me feel better. Ashley gave me great belly laughs and I could tell that she “got me” and my humor.

Thanks for a great time!!

She brought her best friend Jessica along with her for the session so we got a few shots of them together. They were both great fun!

I met this nice young man back in the fall when I did his family’s photos for Christmas cards. I was really excited to hear that he’s a baseball player and wanted to get some photos in his uniform. I’m huge into baseball and especially for KHS since my dear hubby played on the team back ten years ago (yes, I’m getting old!). I’ve had some ideas for quite some time and was able to do a few of the shots I imagined.

Thanks so much Garett for being a good sport about having your photo taken for a couple of hours. You were awesome to work with and I hope you enjoy your preview!

Okay, there’s something seriously in the water over in Kelso. These Kelso High seniors I’m photographing are amazing!!

Miss Kirsti is no exception. She and her mom met me out in Castle Rock for her senior photos. We had a blast in all the different locations we tried out. I think we all got worn out by the end of our time together, but it was sure worth it. I got some great photos. Thank you Kirsti for such a great time. I hope you enjoy your preview!

This guy is cool.

(Is cool even cool to say anymore? I don’t know. I’m getting old)

Anyway, Kyle has some awesome hobbies. He’s got motorcycles, skateboarding (long boards), four wheelers, and cars.

We did his senior photos out in Rose Valley at some pretty cool locations. We knew for sure we wanted pics of him with his motorcycle in the middle of the road, so we made sure to find a spot with very low traffic . I’m always about safety around here. After all, my hubby is the safety director at his work. If he knew I was operating in unsafe conditions, I’d be in trouble 😉

Thank you Kyle for letting me harass you with my camera for a few hours.

I hope you enjoy your pics!

totally love the funky conversions on these…

It seems as though lately I’m doing a lot of Kelso High Senior photos!

The last five sessions I’ve done have all been from Kelso High. It all works out since I’m a former Kelso student myself. Both my hubby and I graduated from Kelso High. Our parents even graduated from Kelso High. Heck, even our grandparents graduated from Kelso!

Dont worry though, I have nothing against Longview. Our daughter goes to a Longview school. I love both 😉

This beautiful gal met me out in Kalama for her mini-session. She is full of personality and a lot of fun to work with. Her mom came along for the session and was a great help holding my reflector. Usually I just perform gymnastics trying to hold it up in the proper position, so it’s nice to have help.  I’m looking in to hiring an assistant. As flexible as I am, it’s getting tiring trying to balance everything on my own.

Thanks Kelci for letting me do your senior photos. I hope you enjoy your preview!
