Kate | Portland senior photographer

I just adore shooting seniors, they are such fun. Kate was really excited about her pictures and wanted a few different locations, well, that’s right up my alley…I could shoot all day! We started at the Rose Test Garden, where everything was so beautiful!

Love this! Gorgeous flowers and a gorgeous girl!

I thought this shot just turned out so classically lovely, complete with haze from sunflare….sigh.

When I first talked to Kate about who she is and what she wants, and then I heard that she was a competitive swimmer…..well, I knew that I would be pushing for shots in a pool to highlight this huge part of her life! But of course when I was calling around to secure a location, it became impossible, most Portland area pools were undergoing maintenance and other pools have various issues. But my dear friend Linn came to the rescue!!! She was so generous to allow us to use her fantastic pool, it was wonderful to have it all to ourselves! Thank you so much!

Kate in her element:
