Reagan- Graduate 2015- Portland, Oregon Photographer
Wow…just wow. My session with Reagan was so delightful and she blew me away!
Reagan and her family used to be my neighbors, until my family had to move. It was a sad day. But I digress (I do that often, you will come to find-move AND deviate in conversation). Anyway, Reagan and her family are genuine, kind, gentle-hearted and just all around awesome people. When Reagan’s mom contacted me about doing her daughters Senior photo’s I was giddy with excitement. For one, I LOVE doing graduate/Senior sessions. They are always a blast. But I was even more excited to do Reagan’s because she has a sweet elegance to her and I knew we would have fun.
So we headed to Champoeg park and the evening was perfect! The ground was a bit muddy so some of my plans would not happen but when I found the moss hanging from the trees, I got over the fact that she would not be able to lay in field. I had visions of her playing her violin, sun-setting and her surrounded by the moss. And it happened and I loved it.
While I shot, she played and boy can she play. It was so peaceful and I kept thinking, “wow, if only I could have her play for me whenever I shoot a session”. Yeah, that would be rad.
I could have shot with her all.day.long. She was a natural in front of the camera and she was so nervous at first. Actually, most people are nervous and once they are able to relax they realize how fun it can be! But the sun set and my fun had to come to an end.
Reagan is such an intelligent, talented, loving young woman and I look forward to seeing where the next stage in her life takes her!
Go forth Reagan and continue to rock it!
