I knew it had been a long time since I’d blogged, but somehow I had no idea it had been THIS long! Ok, trying to clear out the cobwebs….

I had a wonderful time shooting this great young man:

Love the fall color!

My favorite shot:

They wanted to see if we could get a few family pictures while we did the senior photos, I was happy to do so! Aren’t they adorable?

Jordan | Portland senior portrait photographer

Rain scheduled all week long, only one day with a happy sun in the schedule, and thankfully it was on the day that Jordan was scheduled for! Still a bit chilly, but the sun was out! And Jordan was great to work with! Check out that smile!

We saw this little hummingbird while shooting! I thought there was no way it would stick around long enough for me to focus, but it seemed quite tame, even as I walked toward it! Beautiful!

Jordan plays lacrosse, we had to get a few shots of that!

Fair warning to any parents who haven’t heard, I will ask whoever comes along with the senior if they’d like to jump into a shot with them!:)
