Olivia – Vashon High School 2015 Senior – Tacoma Senior Photographer

Olivia is my first Vashon High School senior. I’ve done shoots on Vashon before, but never a Vashon senior. I loved my expereince – took the ferry over on a beautiful day then drove to her house with lots of great property to use. I just love the country! The smell, the ruggedness, the winding roads, the little towns, just everything!


She does theater, teaches swimming and enjoys being a cheerleader for her school.


She hasn’t picked her college yet, but wants to study theater and either speech or occupational therapy.


We found lots of interesting places around her house to use as backdrops.

My first perspective for this pose.

Then I just moved a little and got this perspective… totally different.

Liv, as her friends call her, looked beautiful.


Quite often when I do a senior shoot we also squeeze in a family picture. My favorite place to capture a family is on their front porch. It represents them well and I love the look of a porch :). What makes a family image even better – the family pets!

Since Liv loves the water, we headed to one of the two public beaches Vashon has.


I tried to get a good variety for Olivia. We didn’t just use different locations and outfits, we also played with light and did some in the complete sunshine, some in shade and some with backlight. I love all the looks you can get by just playing with light.


Thanks for having my capture this fun time in your life. I hope you have a great senior year Olivia!
