That’s OK because my goal is to make a portraits that fit each personality, so in that spirit I focused on relaxed personality based images, using dimensional light and taking advantage of composition. Hunter’s friend Dominique was there to help out too. That really helped keep things relaxed and natural.
One of my favorites if this one on the bridge. It’s an HDR taken from the same spot as Bridge of Memories, my award winning still life from last year. They’ll be getting a great canvas wall print of this and it’s gonna look great on their wall. There’s many more however. Here’s a few more favorites from Hunters collection… Gav

Here’s a few favorites from Kylie’s session in Wenatchee. We hit a few great spots including Ohme Gardens. Kylie was super fun to work with and did a great job.
The first image is from the fountain in Downtown Wenatchee. Slowing things down gave the great silky water and post processing using Seim Effects finished it nicely. This will be a thirty inch canvas and is going to look. stunning in their home. I’ll stop talking however and show you some results… Gav

Heather is a Quincy High School student, but for her portraits we went on location to Davenport WA (near Spokane) to a neat old farm owned by the family. No one lives there anymore, but the the location was perfect. The weather had been a bit stormy, but it calmed down in the evening and the remaining clouds gave us some stunning images.
Big props to heather and her hoarse Snickers for doing such a great job. The top image is one of my favorites, but there were so many to choose from. Heather will be getting a senior album so she can show all her poses as well as a one of our canvas Wall Portraits of the image above. It’s going to look great in their home. Here’s a few more favs from the session. Enjoy, Gav
