A Senior Rep is a coordinator who gets some friends together for a portrait session to create images I’ll use in my marketing. The students also receive two additional portrait sessions where they can create new photos for their Facebook account. The Senior Rep must be in the 2011 graduating class.

Be a model, have a great time and get cool photos with your friends that you’ll cherish forever!

A Senior Rep receives:

• A Senior Album
• A free senior portrait session with Jamie Neilsen
• $150 off your senior portrait order
• $10 for each referral
• Awesome images for your Facebook account
• And more!

I’m going to select Senior Reps soon, so if you’re interested, hit the contact button at the top of this page and send me a message for more information.

Friends, allow me to introduce Stephanie; a hoodie and jeans kind of girl who knows how to rock her natural beauty in the most stunning ways. Her understated elegance and gentle demeanor seemed to make our two hours together simply disappear in the blink of an eye. What a pleasure it was to photograph this girl! Many thanks Stephanie for allowing my images to become a part of your family’s history. It’s truly an honor.

I wish you all the best for your senior year and in all your future endeavors! Hopefully we’ll get to do it again sometime. Perhaps family pictures are up next? In the meantime, check out the slideshow…

The last year we all spent together we became official adults. Eighteen years old and ready to take on the world. It’s funny how one day you’re just another teenager and the next you’re a certified adult who gets to vote, rent a hotel room, get piercings without permission, be drafted for war, serve on a jury, go to a strip club, sign a lease, etc. Well, last weekend Miss Audrey here turned the big one eight. So how did she celebrate? Was it a) flew to Hawaii and got engaged on the beach, b) threw a raging house party and the cops were called, or c) went out to dinner with a few girlfriends and was home by 11pm? I’ll give you a hint: “a” was all me.

And while you’re mulling that over, check out these fabulous shots of Audrey! She chose this awesome rooftop location over in West Seattle. We had a great view of the neighborhood and trees dangling fall leaves. The rooftop deck itself was uber cool and must make an amazing party location. There was so much material to work with up there!

Gorgeous, yes? I have a feeling you’ll want to see more. Check out Audrey’s slideshow…

You can tell her dad really loves her and is so proud of her because in the next several minutes I learned that she’s a swimmer and she loves to take pictures. She’s learning to speak Japanese and she has two younger brothers. She’s creative and outgoing and what she really wants, is to have some unique senior pictures {check!}. And you know what else? She’s graduating from my old high school! I loved her already and we hadn’t even met yet. The next day we got together at Starbucks and had a great planning session. There would be bubbles and vintage cameras; great locations and awesome outfits. And although it had been raining in the days leading up to our session, the sky’s opened up to reveal a stunning autumn blue sky.

Friends, I’d like you to meet Kina. I know a lot of fellow MHS grads read this blog so be sure to leave her some love in the comments!

Yeah. I knoowwww……

Honestly, what more can I say about these pictures? They totally speak for themselves: ridiculously GORGEOUS!! You can imagine my angst at only posting a few here. Simply put, you MUST watch her slideshow! Kina worked it…hard. There’s soooo much more to see including a series of portraits where she bravely waded out into Puget Sound (which isn’t even warm in the summer let alone an autumn evening) and then proceeded to get drenched by incoming waves. Just sayin….you gotta see it!

Thanks again Kina…for everything. Your parents were great assistants and I really appreciated all there help holding reflectors, rearranging the office, hanging the swing, chauffeuring, hydrating and for letting us let loose. I’m sure they must have thought we were both a little crazy! Have a wonderful senior year and best of luck in all your future endeavors. GO MHS!!

Senioritis will set in in just a couple months and he’ll be looking ahead at college applications, graduation trips and the freedom that’s, oh so close. But on this day, we weren’t thinking about any of that. On this day, we wandered around Georgetown talking about old buildings and laughing. On this day, just one week before his senior year begins, there was nervousness and excitement in the air.

His mom asked which was easier, photographing girls or guys? I’ll admit it’s not very hard to get a girl giggling and playing model in front of my camera but there’s something so chill and relaxed about photographing guys that are up for anything and just want you to make them look good.

Georgetown is one of my favorite neighborhoods to photograph in. Around every corner is another cool building, alley or fence. The possibilities are endless! This senior wants to be a commercial pilot when he grows up. I thought it was kind of cool to have the “Airport Way” street signs in the background of this picture.

I love everything about this next shot. His expression, the contrast, the depth of field….he brought the awesome!

The light inside this building nook was perfect! It really adds somethin’ special to the image I think.

Poor guy probably hated me at this moment…which is why I saved it for the end of our session! He had a bit of an audience while we took pictures around the airport. Love the look he’s giving!

Talk about a great model. We got so many different expressions and poses! I think this’ll make a great portfolio…if I do say so myself.

Here’s wishing you an awesome, exciting, memorable senior year! I Hope you like your pictures. Be sure to check out the rest of the session in the slide show…
