Senior Portraits- Jake

About a week ago, I had my first Senior boy session of the year at the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden. I got to photograph Jake, a self-proclaimed non-smiler. To be more specific, he said he didn't do well smiling for photos. Jake is a football player and since his high school's football team won their first State Championship game the day before, he had plenty of reason to smile. I think he managed to do okay with his session considering he's a non-smiler. Here are a few photos from that day.

Family Session in the Park

Blogging is not high on my list of things to do. I realized I hadn't written a blog post in well over a month and it's not from a lack of sessions, just a lack of time (and maybe motivation). I've been fortunate that I've been fairly busy with a variety of work, but I haven't made a peep about it except to my friends and family. Since talking to my family about my jobs makes their eyes glaze over with boredom, I thought I'd post something here.

About two weeks ago, just after Thanksgiving to be exact, I had the honor of photographing my son's former kindergarten teacher, Teacher Dana, and her family. Teacher Dana's children were in town for the holiday weekend so we met at Laurelhurst Park for their session. We were lucky to have a dry and mostly sunny day for the session. (I feel like I write that a lot!) Here are a few photos of her lovely family from their session below.
