I’ve known Sophie since she was in 2nd grade. It’s hard to wrap my head around the fact that all these darling little girls have morphed into stunning beauties about to enter their senior year. Sophie wanted water for her photos. We had to scout around a bit to find a perfect setting, but we crushed her vision. She was […]
I’ve know Mackenzie since elementary school. She and a handful of boys (my son included) started playing water polo when they were itty bitty and grew up in the pool together, playing co-ed polo together through middle school. They all went on to have the kind of high school water polo careers you can only dream about. We celebrated their […]
I met Tiernan because my son Grant decided to try lacrosse for his senior year spring sport and Tiernan was on the team. It was fun to watch them play and finally get to know Tiernan’s awesome momma better after years of being casual acquaintances. We did a quick Cap and Gown mini-session for Tiernan a couple of days before […]
Newberg High School, like many high schools across the country, holds their graduation ceremony outdoors. Seniors sit in chairs on the football field while loved ones sit in the stadium. It’s a great way to host a giant crowd and allow the graduates to be able to invite their family members. The downside is inclement weather. Last year, it dumped […]
Grant is a senior at Newberg High School. He plans to major in Civil Engineering with an emphasis in Construction Management and will be attending California Baptist University (CBU) in the fall. Grant’s talents and hobbies span all kinds of interesting categories. Grant started playing water polo when he was ten years old. He and his buddies – the Fab […]
Oh my gosh Wils… How is it possible that this post is about your senior portraits? Pass the Kleenex!!!! I remember when you started playing water polo in 6th grade. Baseball had been your life, but you made the switch to the pool and you had a wicked shot. Grant was in the cage, and even though he was a […]
I met Jaci through my daughter when they were both on the middle school track team. They became fast friends. Jaci’s mom, Dawn, and I started chatting and realized we both liked to run. We ran together once. Then twice. Then weekly. Then multiple times a week. Running brought our families together. Fast forward six years.. Jaci and my son […]
Meet Samantha, senior at Newberg High School. Her big smile is contagious and she is so fun to be around. Isn’t she lovely? We had a beautiful fall morning for Sam’s photo session and we split our time between two local vineyards. Thank you Rex Hill and Bells Up for your hospitality. May God bless you this year Sam, as […]
I first heard about Paris when my son Grant was a freshman. She was new to the water polo team and picked the sport up quickly. The two became casual friends. Fast forward to swim season of their junior year. Grant came home from an away swim meet, smiling. Turns out that smile was less about swimming and more about […]
Two years ago I photographed Emma’s older sister Hannah. It was such an honor to receive a call from their mom asking me if I was available to photograph Emma in her senior year. I had a great time getting to know all the things that make Emma unique: her baking business, her dance career, her skills as a musician, […]
