I love the sun, but…..[Corvallis, Or Photographer]

Taking photos in the heat of the day is not my most favorite set of conditions, but sometimes you just get to make the most of it.  One of my backup plans to a REALLY sunny day (it really does happen frequently in Oregon!) is to take the photo into the sun to avoid the squinty eyes and big shadows.  It’s a bit tougher to keep the contrast and correct colors, but at least the lighting on the face is even.  To top it off, the summery feeling from a photo backlit from the sun can be a cheery thing, especially in December!

Time is flying! [Corvallis, Oregon Senior Portrait Photographer]

It makes me feel old to say it, but here it is: Time flies!  If you’re a junior in highschool, it’s time to start dreaming and planning for your VERY LAST YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL!!!!! Woohoo!

Most high schools in the area have a deadline in the fall for submitting their senior photos to be published in the yearbook.  It’s still half a year away, but now’s the time you can start pondering where and when you’d like to have your senior portraits done.  I enjoy visiting some of the favorite locations, as well as the new, quirky, and bursting full of personality spots that each senior chooses.  Where will you choose?

In case you haven’t picked this up from other posts, my main thing is flexibility and enjoying the shoot.  I can’t wait to meet you!!
