Megan from Montana | {Tacoma Senior Photographer}

What a treat and honor to have met this beautiful young woman…Megan contacted me early this summer about her senior photos…which is normal, but the interesting part is that she lives in Montana!! She attends the same high school that one of my seniors from last year, Sierra, attended…and knowing that she and her family would be visiting the Seattle/Tacoma area this month, she inquired about a senior session.  A family wedding brought them here, although she used to live on McChord, so is familiar with the area. Flattered and excited, I was eager to meet her and hopefully, capture some special photos to help commemorate her final year of high school. All worked out, the weather was wonderful (although a bit warm, as Megan will attest to!!) and we met up on a Sunday afternoon at Ft. Steilacoom Park. Right from the start, I was impressed with this young lady, she carried herself with confidence and was ready to start right off the bat! Let me tell you, this gal is GORGEOUS, and I mean truly beautiful…and so very natural and comfortable with herself that it was easy to photograph her. Her smiles are incredible and her eyes…WOW, that’s the best word to describe them! Talking with Megan was easy and comfortable and as we  made our way through the session at two locations, she was fun to be around, and really impressed me with her goals and plans for the future…I know this gal will definitely go places and the possibilities are endless with her drive and determination!

Megan, it was truly my pleasure to meet and photograph you…I wish the very best for your senior year and whatever life has in store for you after high school…I know it will be great!

Meagon – 2012 Senior | {Tacoma Senior Photographer}

You might recognize this young woman from last fall…Meagon is a high school senior who has returned for a bit “warmer” session this spring. When we met last fall, the weather was certainly not idea, nor was it warm, and she was really hoping for something a bit “less bundled” up…so we ended up with an amazing spring day for this session…about 70 degrees and LOTS of sunshine…it doesn’t get much nicer than this around here in April!! A senior at Franklin Pierce HS…and attending BJ’s Beauty and Barber School…she is one very busy person! I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Meagon and her mom again…and spending a bit of time hanging out with them on this gorgeous day! As beautiful as before…Meagon is now preparing for the next chapter of her life…the next year will bring many changes…such exciting and wonderful opportunities await this lovely high school senior!

My best to you, Meagon, for your graduation, from high school and beauty school…may the world offer you unlimited opportunities and a lifetime of joy and happiness!!

Olivia – Goal Driven | {Puyallup High School}

This lovely young woman was a delight to meet up on this sunny and DRY afternoon. I met Olivia and her mom…after a few “rescheduled” session times due to weather. As you know, around the Pacific Northwest, the weather is not predictable, so flexibility is key when scheduling sessions. I was so happy it finally worked out for Olivia session…and what a wonderful time I had with these two women! A senior at Puyallup High School who has great plans and goals for the future. She’s working now, preparing and saving for college, knowing that the hard work will all pay off in the long run. With plans to attend WSU (go COUGS!!) and enter into nursing, I really admire Olivia’s plans for her future. Nursing is a great gift to those who are in need of the nurses….this is such a wonderful aspiration!! And, her interest is in newborns and children and since I have a granddaughter who was born premature and know just how much the nurses part plays in the care of these little babies…I love that she has this passion!!

Can you say amazing smile…Olivia’s smile just beamed through the whole session…a soft smile was not easy for her and that’s because she has such a lovely and natural smile, it’s just part of who she is…I loved it!!!Okay, so we did get a nice soft smile and my oh, my…is she beautiful…wow!Despite some objections from mom, we grabbed her for a couple of photos at the very end, couldn’t resist…two beautiful women!!
