G's Senior Session ~ Oregon City Senior Photographer

This lovely grad is a returning client; we first seen her and her fiance back in january for their engagement session:

Now she's back for her graduation portraits, and we're glad to have her! She brought her mom and sister along for the evening, and we all had such a blast taking both girl's senior portraits.

Here's some highlights from this gorgeous grad's senior session:

Here's some of the two together:

L's Senior Session ~ Oregon City Senior Portrait Photographer

I am declaring that 'Senior Season' is officially OPEN!

Here we have our first high school senior session of the year:

Isn't she gorgeous? This lovely girl came to me for her senior portraits, as well as her sister - who also came to me earlier this year for her engagement portraits - which will be featured in the next post so keep a look out for her session coming soon!

I absolutely LOVE taking senior portraits! These girls and guys are turning from carefree adolescents into responsible adults. Time to leave the nest, and start searching for their first job, or for some to go off to collage and start their whole new lives. It's such an exciting time in anyone's life, and I feel so blessed having the opportunity to share this special time with these awesome seniors.

Enjoy!

J's Sweet Sixteen Portraits ~ Oregon City Teen Photographer

This lovely 16-year-old is a returning client to Raining September Photography.

Family session, fall of 2012:

Friends session, summer of 2013:

I was so happy to have this lovely girl back, and to be her sweet sixteen photographer! It is very rare that all of my color treatments look good on a client. I usually include several in black and white, as well as regular color with the proofs so clients can see the different color treatments available. This girl looked good in EVERY SINGLE ONE of them!

Standard Color:

"Huckleberry Pie":

"Pumpkin Spice":

"Banana Split":

"b+w":

And my personal favorite shot of the day, treated with "Pumpkin Spice":

I loved that last one so much that I set it as the background on the main page of my site. Check it out!

I's One Year Session ~ Oregon City Baby Photographer

This little darling was such a cutie! Her mamma is a returning client who came to me to get all five of her kid's portraits taken last summer.

That's her in the middle, all sober-like:


It was much too cold to take her pictures outdoors this time, so we set up this backdrop in her mamma's dining room. Gorgeous wood flooring + a simple backdrop + a large, bright window + a reflector = perfect indoor portraits! It's so simple for me to come to a client's home and set up an area like this for an in-home session. It's much easier and convenient for clients with babies or newborns for me to come to them, rather than making them pack up all their things and drive somewhere else.

This little cutie was such a character with so many smiles - it's not every day I get a one-year-old who is as happy or cooperative as she was!



Playing peek-a-boo was her favorite:

W&A Portrait Session ~ Oregon City Children's Photographer

Sometimes a mom has a vision; Her children - brother and sister - holding hands, walking next to train tracks.

I had the privilege to make that happen for this photo session:



I love making my client's visions come to life through my photography. Creating exactly what they have envisioned in their head is my passion. We went to the Oregon City Train Station for this session, and the kids had so much fun playing around at the station.

H Siblings Portraits - Oregon City Child Photographer

I absolutely LOVE being the photographer for families, siblings and children. Siblings are so much fun to photograph - especially young ones! Their dynamic and interactions with each other is so genuine and real - especially when they get along as well as these two! I have so much fun working with kids, getting to know their little personalities, and capturing it forever in photographs.

These two were so much fun to work with! They were a dream to work with; they hugged, whispered funny things in the other's ear, and made funny faces at each other behind the camera to make one another laugh. They had such a great time running, and chasing each other through a gorgeous daisy filled field at this breathtaking location in Canby.

Can you feel the sibling love?





Some darling individual shots:









And one more love-y one for the road:

Miss M's Senior Sesh ~ Oregon City Senior Teen Photographer

Graduation is a couple weeks away! Seniors are lining up to get in last minute photo sessions so they can have gorgeous portraits to use in invitations, handouts at their parties, and thank you cards to send out afterwards.

We had a beautiful senior girl come to us for her senior portraits. And when I say 'beautiful' I don't mean only on the outside. This girl was as sweet as could be, with a gorgeous smile, a laugh that was infectious, eyes that sparkled, and a heart of gold. We had so much fun capturing her fun personality, while we walked around a beautiful outdoor shopping mall, we talking and laughing the entire time.

A's Senior Session ~ Oregon City Senior Photographer

We had another awesome senior guy session! We started out at the park and as we were heading to our next location, I spotted an area that I thought was PERFECT for this guy! So we pulled over, hopped the barrier and I snapped away as we explored the deserted, crumbling concrete wasteland we had discovered. We found so many awesome places that really were perfect for this senior guy. By the end we were laughing and joking and I think he had a really great time during his session!

This was his favorite, because it said "dope" in the background:
