A: Senior Portraits

This is another handsome Senior from the same high school in central Washington. I had so much fun with this second senior. There were two cute girls who were getting their portraits taken as well, and they did a wonderful job making him laugh, sometimes too good of a job.

I really love this shot in B&W. It just seems classic to me of a country boy in a white t-shirt leaning up against his truck.

I really enjoy the warm earthy colors that appear in some of these later shots, because not only was it fall in Washington, but I love those colors in the first place. Okay, maybe I'm a little biased...

However, I love the vibrancy and intensity of the cool colors. The green and blues make him stand out so much too with his dark hair and skin. Such a good looking guy!

And now, for his close up!

Once again, here's the railroad bridge, but a different angle. A suggested he would like a shot with the architecture of the bridge in the background, so I really enjoy this shot. It's geometrical (I think that's the right word) and precise, but with a natural feel at the same time.

Thanks A for working with me and not feeling completely awkward with three ladies around! You were an awesome reflector holder too! Hehe!

R: Senior Portraits

Some of you may thing this young woman looks familiar, well this is my brother's sister-in-law. She was the Maid of Honor at the wedding. I went to visit Washington to do a few portraits and invited her to come along. She is very fun loving, happy, and maybe a tad sassy (love ya R), so I think I captured her pretty well.

She really wanted pictures on this old truck and we had a lot of fun with it with her and another Senior. It was quite hilarious, because she can't hold a serious face for very long if it all, despite our trials with the serious shots, I think they turned out quite well.

Do you see the fun loving gal I'm talking about?

This particular railroad crossing sign is in the backyard of her family's home, I thought it was awesome and used it as a prop. I think it added character, and I loved it.

So after the sign, we went to an actual railroad bridge. We shot at the top of the bridge as well as the bottom. The shots at the bottom of the bridge, you will see shortly.

By the way, I love the B&W above, it's one of my favorites. The rest of the shots were actually taken at the bottom of the bridge.

I had so much fun with you when we were shooting. Thanks so much for keeping all of us laughing! All of the squeal while we were on the bridge were the best! ;)

C: Senior Portraits

This handsome young man was actually a contact through my younger sister in central Washington state. I was going for portrait sessions anyway, and had my sister contact old friends who were still in high school and C just happened to be one of them. I had a good time with C. Unfortunately it rained on us for about 45 min, but it eventually stopped. Can you believe the beautiful colors from mid-late October? Definitely not like that here in good ol' Idaho.

I wanted to get this pictures up so that his family visiting for the holiday could see them, so I didn't have time to take rain spots out. My apologies. And because I'm behind for the holidays, comments will be kept minimally for a little bit.
