Happy Senior Sunday!!

It was such a pleasure to meet Kiran & her parents!! Thank you to Melanie for introducing us!!

Most of my clients meet me through recommendations ~ personal connections are so fun for me ~

We talked in advance ~ a Planning Session on the phone, noting that sunshine, sun flare & backlight with sun drenched desaturated colors are what make the portraits that Kiran loves most!

We started here at Juanita Bay Park at the end of the boardwalk path, by lily pads ~ there was a pair of swans paddling through the lilies on this day! There were a number of people winding through the bridges on this afternoon, most carrying huge binoculars or cameras with long lenses ~ for collecting views of birds!

Since all their eyes were trained away from us, it actually felt pretty private!

Thank you, Kiran!

for hopping from boulder to boulder in Lake Washington ;)

for climbing & perching on old wood railings,

for pausing for photos in a fabulous restaurant,

for being vulnerable and collaborating with us to make senior portraits you can love :)

I enjoy your company :)

I'm excited for you to experience
