Daranie’s Senior Photos – Session #1

Daranie is going to be a senior at Priest River High School and is one of my Class of 2014 Senior Models, for her first session with me we worked on her senior photos at the ranch of a family friend.  We had a great time and had the sun not set could have kept going for hours, but as you will see with photos from the end of our session I am very glad that the sun did indeed set because the sunset made for an amazing backdrop for the final part of our session.

Arielle Walden – 3 Time State Champion

Recently I had the pleasure to meet up with Arielle Walden, a three time 100 Meter Hurdle State Champion in Washington State for Newport High School.  This year she was competing in three events, the 100 Meter Hurdles, the Long Jump and the Triple Jump.  She brought home gold in both the Hurdles and the Triple Jump and a silver in the Long Jump leading Newport to an 8th place team finish as the lone competitor for the team!  Here are my favorite shots from our evening together.

Kiernan’s Senior Photos – Sandpoint Photographer

Kiernan is an avid skier and wanted to wait until Schweitzer mountain in Sandpoint, Idaho was covered with snow before he had his senior photos taken.  We had a great day for photos with some good drama in the sky and such a great location overlooking lake Pend Orielle.

We started out with some poses with his skis the next two shots were the same pose from different directions but they are both processed a little bit differently in photoshop so I decided to include them both.

The location we were at had a great view of the valley and mountains but then when we turned around the other direction there was a rock cliff that when put out of focus made a nice natural backdrop.Senior Portraits taken in the snow on Schweitzer mountain Senior Portraits taken in the snow on Schweitzer mountain Senior Portraits taken in the snow on Schweitzer mountain

Austin’s Senior Photos (Sandpoint Photographer)

Austin is the keeper for the 2012 4A State Champion Sandpoint Soccer team and we worked together at the end of August to capture some images for his senior photos in.  Now that the season is over I was able to get his final choices and work up a blog post.  As I often do we spent the first half of our time getting the more traditional yearbook friendly photos, then when we had those finished we concluded with some more dramatically lit soccer themed photos and some action portraits.

Jacob’s Senior Photos (Priest River Photographer)

Jacob is a senior wrestler for Priest River High School.  Thankfully on this overcast day we stayed dry and the clouds added some great drama to the sky for some of our shots.

 

Mark’s Senior Photos (Priest River Photographer)

Mark was not super excited about getting his photo taken, but I think in the end he could say he had a lot more fun than he anticipated!

 

Sammy’s Senior Photos (Priest River Photographer)

When Sammy and I got together to do her senior photos I ended up taking 2-3 times as many photos as I usually do.  Not because I was having a hard time getting good shots but because she was so much fun and she was constantly making the goofiest facial expressions which I eagerly wanted to capture!

 We will get to the goofy faces, but let’s start with intensely serious . . . .

We had a spectacular sky and sunset for the conclusion of our session, check it out!

Alright, now on to a little bit of goofing around.

Lastly, a photo of someone other than Sammy.  As I was taking her photo a tourist from Canada saw us working and he wanted a piece of the photographic action, he pulled out his camera and took a few shots himself.  I was also quick on the draw and snagged this shot of him before he continued his journey back north.

 

 

Tim & Todd’s Senior Photos (Sandpoint Photographer)

I have known Todd since he was a freshman when I was his Shot Put and Discus coach, due to the increasing demands of business I am no longer his coach but I still get to see both him and his brother Tim often through my camera viewfinder.  In the fall they played next to each other on the offensive line for Sandpoint and in the spring Tim spends his time on the baseball diamond and Todd will be back to throwing heavy objects as far as he can!

 

Paul’s Senior Photos (Rathdrum Photographer)

Paul is a senior soccer player from Lakeland High School, we captured some fun images at a number of different locations in Rathdrum and then finished up our time at the High School to take some sports themed photos.

This next photo is one of my favorites from the entire senior photo season, we set up this shot to look like it was taken after dark and then I turned the stadium lights on in Photoshop.
