Hunter, it was a pleasure hanging out with you and grabbing these photos. I hope you love them as much as I do. Your gallery is ready, I’ll text you the password on Tuesday!
It is obvious your family is close and I loved meeting Mom, Dad and sis too!
Good luck with your senior year and the rest of the football season for the Battle Ground Tigers.
I had a great time out with Autumn last weekend capturing some senior pictures. Autumn, your proofs are ready! I’ll text your mom the gallery password on Monday (its a little late tonight!)
Enjoy the sneak-peak!
Its back to school time! Ugh, can you believe summer is almost over? I see leaves turning ALREADY… No! I am absolutely not ready for this! I need my sun! If I could make it 85 degrees all year round, I totally would! I remember summer vacation when I was in gradeschool seemed to last F.O.R.E.V.E.R. and I was excited to go back. Well, now I’m excited for a different reason (and no, I’m not going back to school AGAIN mom!) <- she’s already been through this twice (GO COUGS for all you Seniors thinking about college).
My excitement surrounds two things… number one absolutely being that I love Halloween and it is ALMOST here and number two… well, the fall senior portrait season is here… and there is nothing I like to photograph more than High School Seniors! So whether you go to Camas, Washougal, Fort, Union, Columbia River, Evergreen, Heritage, Prairie, Skyview, Battleground or if you are in Running Start going to Clark… THIS deal is for YOU! (and that was a mouthful… )
Why do you want custom portraits instead of the ol’ fashioned yearbook picture you can get at Sears or Olan Mill? (Come on… look at the pictures they do… Words cannot describe… … )
Your Senior photos are going to be some of the most cherished photos in your family history. They will sit next to the picture taken when you were first born, your first day of kindergarten, and your wedding day. Everyone in your family will get one and you will choose your favorite for Graduation announcements! The portraits you choose today will endure those tests of time. These pictures will be the ones you look back at for your 40th High School reunion. Don’t settle for a studio… choose a custom photographer!
Verve sessions are completely customized for YOU. Your location, on your schedule, you wear what you want. Bring your pet or your BFF and lets go have fun capturing just who YOU are, today… There is no pressure because the next person is here for their appointment. You get 100% of my attention.
The fall special will run for a limited time (through sessions taken by October 15th) so book early as spots will fill up fast!
So, what are you waiting for? Go to the contact page and send me a message to get your session scheduled TODAY!
Welcome to the world sweet thing, you are just devine! Your mama did a fine job baking you and I’m sure big brother is going to take great care of you as you grow. Thanks for coming over for pictures! I sure hope you sleep more for mama then you did for me 
My warmest Congratulations to the K family!
It’s time for Fall Family Mini-Sessions!

This week I had the pleasure of working with Thom for headshots. Thom is a professional Life Coach. I had such a great time taking his portraits, I hope he had some fun too!
Your Gallery is ready Thom, head on over to the proofing section.
Rachel @ Verve!
What to wear? what to wear? This is the number ONE question I get asked when doing client consultations. And, it is an important one.
Do you want a polished and clean formal picture, or one that captures your family’s fun playful side? This is really the first step in defining your wardrobe. Then, run with it! Matchy matchy isn’t the thing anymore. Gone are the days of white polo-shirts and khakis… get creative, bring color, BE FUN!
I am going to do a series of posts with great examples of a family portrait session outfit selection. I will do my best to find pieces that coordinate not only with each other, but offer you some choices in price point for where to find the items. This first post is “dressing on a budget”. Everyone in my family owns jeans, too many pairs probably. Once I find a few that fit each of us and are in the same color family I have greatly reduced the amount I need to spend on outfits! Plus, jeans are comfy and look great in pictures (as long as they are in good condition). Comfy people = happy people. Happy people = Good, natural and genuine smiles. Good, natural and genuine smiles + family interaction + great photographer = FABULOUS family memories!
So, this week…
Fashion on a budget. All of the below garments can be purchased at Old Navy or Gap. Of course, this is just one example, use your imagination to pull together your own family style.
Bright, Colorful, easy on the wallet, and a very pulled together look…
Note that some key garment choices is missing… SHOES and accessories! Please please please, make sure shoes are clean and coordinate. They are going to be in some photos and the shoes your hubby wore last weekend to mow the lawn are not going to cut it. Jazz up the outfits with playful, fun, and colorful accessories and you are well on your way.
Look forward to a big upcoming announcement about fall family portraits specials… just in time to get those Christmas cards done.
Just a quick couple of snap shots of Jeffrey at Dozer Day today. He had a great time playing in the sand. As a photographer I am always so critical of my photos but sometimes I need to take a step back and realize that imperfect snap shots are okay. They help me keep my memories alive. Vancouver hosts Dozer Day every year and this is the first year we have gone. This year it was off 192nd and Bradey Rd right off of Hwy 14. Traffic was crazy getting in there but we walked so not only did we get our exercise but we didn’t get stuck in traffic either. Jeffrey drove a tractor but his favorite part was the sand box in the enormous tire. He was so beyond tired as you can see by his pink eyes but boy oh boy he had a great time. Two favorites from today …
A mouth full of sand and a look like “Help me mommy, this is yucky!”
He LOVES Dump trucks so this was a real treat!
When it rains in Portland… it POURS!
It rained the entire shoot but Bree and Ang were SUCH good sports…
Bree, seeking out a bit of shelter
Ang, rocking that supermodel glance
Purple certainly is Bree’s color
Ang has the most beautiful, deep brown eyes
