Kaysea – Senior Portraits – Class of 2011

Kaysea is full of smiles and cheer.  She is another Gig Harbor senior.  I really love this class of seniors from Gig Harbor.  What a great group!Gig Harbor Senior Portrait Photographer

We started our session off with a few special shots of best friends – Baxter, Kaysea, Bayley and Nick.  You might remember Bayley’s shoot just last week. Nick made an appearance in there too:D.  I felt a little bad for them having to deal with me this day!  Just less than an hour before the shoot I was playing frisbee with my son, Nick, and I missed the catch allowing the frisbee to hit me right in the front teeth.  I felt the crumbs in my hand as I reached up to feel them.  Yep, broken teeth!  I usually smile a lot when I take pictures, but after looking in the mirror, I was crushed and only wanted to cry.  They cheered me up though and made me feel comfortable.  I got through it, but the smiling… that was hard:(.  Good note – they are all fixed now and look better than they did before:D.

What a fun group of pictures!  They will be able to remember this, always.

LOVE this one!  A LOT!Gig Harbor Senior Portrait Photographer

Kaysea wanted some images of her and Baxter together.  I first asked her how they met (left picture) and then had him join her.  They are adorable together as you can see… and there’s more later on.  The mom’s came along too.  Behind every fun and energetic senior is a great parent that I have the honor of meeting. I really do have the most awesome job (for lack of a better word).Gig Harbor Senior Portrait Photographer

We wanted to make sure we celebrated spring in our shoot.  I love these little white flowers.Gig Harbor Senior Portrait Photographer

Kaysea had all her spots picked out for the shoot.  This is the Fox Island Yacht Club and the water was simply amazing!  Can you see the reflection?  Just crazy!Gig Harbor Senior Portrait Photographer

Cuteness I tell you!Gig Harbor Senior Portrait Photographer

On the way to the Yacht club I noticed this tire swing in the front of someone’s house and knew we just had to use it.  Gig Harbor Senior Portrait Photographer

Love this!Gig Harbor Senior Portrait Photographer

Oh and the little shack in the distance, picture perfect!Gig Harbor Senior Portrait Photographer

The interesting thing is, this is in front of Baxter’s old home!  That was his tire swing!Gig Harbor Senior Portrait Photographer

So, we had to get him on there too.Gig Harbor Senior Portrait Photographer

Flexing those muscles:D, oh, and that dimple, stop it, adorable.  Yes Baxter, I used that word on you.  I can’t help it, I’m a mom of a couple teenagers too and we use that word.Gig Harbor Senior Portrait Photographer

His mom wanted a picture of him in front of his old backstop too.  So cool that we “discovered” all this along the way.Gig Harbor Senior Portrait Photographer

We had a wonderful time with everyone!  Thanks for the day Kaysea and thanks for the cupcakes too!  You are the first to give me something like that.  How sweet of you.

I’m so glad I got to tag along on this one. I love the “classic pose” shot. Maybe the best one ever.

Connie, I LOVE the photos of Kaysea & friends. Agree, with Joe on the “classic pose”…sublime! Thank you so much. Already knew you did amazing work as I’ve followed your posts, but to meet you & Joe and hear how you ended up being in this business in the first place, made me feel so incredibly blessed that our paths intersected. Anyone reading between the lines in your blog, would realize the passion you have for your work. You epitomize “Do what you love, and love what you do”.
