September - 2008 (Tap image for large version)

Yeah, unbelievable. Those cheeks just don’t stop! This little guy was so stinkin cute and he just wanted to stick his tongue out at me most of the morning. I couldn’t help but smile the entire time. Sara and Jim found us through our good friend Kirk over at the Practical Westcoast Blog. We had a great shoot the weekend before last at their West Seattle home and over the phone realized that we all went to college together. Check out the darkroom slideshow.

Boone and I shoot a select amount of seniors and families each year and so far we’ve had super-rad clients for 2008. You can look forward to some more awesome seniors up on the blog in the near future as well as maybe a family or two. Still have a bunch of weddings to post as well!

I love this parting look that he gave me as we packed up to leave. Perfect.

We shoot a handful of senior photos every year.  Chanel came to me looking for something that isn’t your typical senior photo so I was pretty stoked to set something up with her.  This shoot started by grabbing a coffee at Ken’s with Chanel and my awesome assistant for this shoot, Jennifer Schmidt (a friend through flickr).  We had to wait for the rain to let off a little which gave us a chance to talk a bit more about the shoot.  Twelve ounces later we were wandering down NW 21st Ave to hit up a few clutch spots and then eventually over to the Pearl District to finish up with shooting inside of Sip N Kranz. 

By the way, this shot (above) was taken at f1.2 @ 1/2000 with a 580exII coming a bit from the left.

These were shot just off of Belmont in S.E. Portland.  I’ve been loving this great weather!
