Sarah is a snowboarder, so creating senior portraits with Mount Hood standing tall in the background made perfect sense! She said she wanted her senior pictures to have "an image focused on me but with a cool landscape in the background." Sarah hails from Edgewood High School in Madison, Wiisconsin. But she's spent three summers now attending snowboard camp at Mount Hood, most recently as a counselor in training.

<div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="rijo" data-offset-key="e2ht3-0-0"> <div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" data-offset-key="e2ht3-0-0"> Wyatt is quiet, polite, and a bit shy. So it might surprise you to learn that he's one of Oregon City High School's football stars. In fact, Wyatt plays football and track at Oregon City High School. He also enjoys snowboarding. He loves' working out and knows a lot about physical training and sports nutrition. When he's not on the field competing, Wyatt likes to draw and paint and is also into photography. He loves going on spontaneous trips. And he dreams of going on a cruise and relaxing after making it through his high school career. Ironically, I first met Wyatt at the end of his junior year. His girlfriend, Scarlet, twisted his arm into taking portraits before going to Prom. But as it turns out, the three of us had a blast. And together we created some stunning images of the two of them in their formal dress and suit. After the prom portrait session, both Scarlet and Wyatt were excited about getting together again to create their high school senior pictures. </div> </div>

Sunset High School's Reilly feels like an old friend. That's probably because years ago I had the honor of creating her older sister's senior portraits. And I've also photographed her little brother. It's almost like I've become part of the family. And I feel so privileged to be able to capture these special moments in their lives. And to create beautiful canvasses and other artwork for the walls in their home. Like her sister, Reilly is outgoing and adventurous. She also loves to sing and draw and hopes to travel after graduation. Like many high school seniors, Reilly wanted to have her senior pictures taken outdoors. And she and her mom discovered the location on their own. Reilly lives in Cedar Hills, just down the road from Commonwealth Lake Park.

Cole is a championship track star at Sandy High School. He's also a bit of country boy and has been riding ATV's since he was 2-years old. He doesn't live in Sandy, though. Cole and his family live out i Brightwood, Oregon, tucked away in a quiet little spot along the Sandy River. And that's where Cole decided to take his senior pictures. So we spent a lot of time during his senior portrait session exploring his back yard and buildings around Cole's home. Cole lives on a rural country road in a small community where everyone knows their neighbors. As a result, we were able to take some of Cole's senior pictures using a fence and other features on his neighbor's property. The area has plenty of ferns, trees, and other foliage. And we still had some fall colors, which gave us plenty of background options for Cole's senior pictures.

Century High School senior, Kian, wants to go to college to become a computer programmer. He has big, fiery red hair and soft green eyes. And he's more than a bit of a book worm. Every spare minute he has, you'll find himself buried in a good book. When asked about his interests, Kian responds: "reading, reading, board games, reading, video games, and reading." "I spend 90% of my free time reading," he says. It's no surprise that he enjoys quiet and solitude. He also enjoys forested areas with trees, particularly when there's a nice breeze. So when it came time to decide on a location for Kian's high school senior portraits, we decided to take his senior pictures at Rood Bridge Park.

Jessica is a special high school senior at Lake Oswego High School. She's creative, artistic, and full of energy. She says she's a bit shy around new people, but if you met her for the first time you sure wouldn't know it! She enjoys reading and writing stories. And loves music, dance, choir, and acting. She cares deeply for the people around her likes hanging out with her friends. And she's an adventurous soul too. Jessica had her heart set on taking her high school senior Portraits in the mountains or by a river. But not any old river, mind you. She was adamantly against having her senior portraits taken along some large, slow-moving river, like the Columbia or the Willamette. Instead, Jessica was after whitewater. She had just come back from a whitewater rafting trip with her family. So Jessica and her mom began scouting for the perfect location for her high school senior pictures.

Glencoe High School's Trevor is an Eagle Scout and wants to be a nuclear scientist. He describes himself as a homebody who can be a bit shy, reserved, and melancholic at times. But he's also funny, caring, and super smart! When Trevor's not filling out his application to Oregon State University, he enjoy's playing video games and watching TV with his family. He's a big fan of the "Daily Show with Trevor Noah" and likes to follow national politics. When it comes to music, however, he can't pick a favorite. All he can say is "heavy metal is definitely not for me!" When it came time to plan his senior portraits, Trevor was pretty easy going. He was willing to wear the dress pants and shirt that his mom picked out. And even his scouting uniform. As long as he could also wear his standard: jeans, a hoody, and his blue fedora.

Wyatt is Scarlet's first serious boyfriend. And Scarlet's Mom wanted to make this year's Oregon City High School prom extra special for the two of them. When Scarlet's mom approached me about photographing Scarlet and her date on prom night, I was really excited about what we could capture. We immediately began scouting for the perfect location to create beautiful prom portraits for their high school senior year. We finally decided on the Baker Cabin Historic Site near Carver Park in Oregon City. The property contains a small pioneer church and an old cabin. And it was the perfect season for portrait photography because the gardens and flowering cherry trees were in full bloom. The red roses and pink blossoms perfectly complimented Scarlet's red dress and Wyatt's fuchsia tie.

Ben is a high school senior in Gresham who attends Metro East Web Academy, an online public high school here in Oregon. He is a creator of video and a practitioner of parkour. Ben chose to do his senior portraits at Fairview Community Park in Wood Village. Fairview Community Park is a small area that is packed with a myriad of backgrounds and senior picture possibilities! We started Ben's shoot just outside of the community park. A nearby residential area offers an urban type atmosphere with brick walls and concrete structures. We even took advantage of a large dumpster and garbage disposal area to create an interesting (one could even say handsome) grunge look that is perfect for high school senior guys!

Southridge High School's Julian is an adventurous artist and he wanted to do something fun and unique for his high school senior portraits. I specialize in cool and unique on-location high school senior pictures, and I'm always up for a fun adventure! When I asked Julian about his extracurricular activities, drawing was at the top of Julian's list (followed closely by playing mmprog video games and hanging out friends). He was also excited about getting his first car this summer and is slowly venturing out and driving.Because of Julian's artistic interests, trendy style, and his willingness in doing something a bit outside of the box, we decided to create some one-of-a-kind senior portraits for Julian in the Alberta Art District in Portland, Oregon. Alberta Street in Portland has become known for its many creative street murals.

Emily is a high school senior at Lake Oswego High School who loves listening to music, drwaing, painting and writing. She also performs in theater. And boasts about the fact that she was once in four separate countries in a single week (the United States, Canada, England, and France).

She's a serious high school student, but also looking forward to planning a road trip with her best friends soon after she graduates! Emily is tall (as in taller than me tall!) with pale skin, strawberry blond hair and beautiful green eyes. As a result, she wanted high school senior pictures that would complement those features, and especially bring out her eyes.

Samantha and Isabel embody sisterhood despite their difference in age. Isabel is about to turn four years old and Samantha is a high school senior at Robert A. Long High School. After graduation, Samantha is headed to Ireland for college, so Mom wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to take some family portraits of the two of them together and as individuals. They were looking for outdoor portraits with a variety of backgrounds and outfits. As a result, we settled on two separate locations. The first was at Clackamas County's Eagle Fern Park where we photographed the girls against a backdrop of green ferns and old growth forest. The second location was in a natural area near Barton, Oregon where the golden fields provided a perfect idyllic setting to display the connection that is shared by these two girls.

Glencoe High School's Claire is a senior who is classy, confident, and complex. “My personality is full of contradictions,” she says. “I'm shy, but I like to stand out. I tend to be a leader, to push shyness away when there is a task to get done. I'm curious and adventurous, but I am incredibly conscience of the negative outcomes my explorations could have.” “I have an eclectic style. I love classic looking clothes but I also enjoy very modern and original looks. My casual clothes are dressier than most,” says Claire. And she is already wise beyond her years and committed to making the world a better place. “What really forms my personality,” she says, “are my morals.” “I do my best to always have a positive impact on those around me—from smiling to passers by, to complimenting people who look down, to helping people.“
