Another senior session right here in in Ephrata. Daniel was a really nice local guy, and though he was a little reserved he started relaxing, especially once we got him in his own element kicking the soccer ball around.
I like #2. Kind of a fun silly shot, but Daniel really reminds me of an older version of Malcolm (Frankie Muniz) in this shot. Here’s that and a few other favs. As always click any image for the BIG view.

There’s three key control points I find in a portrait. The eye’s, the mouth, and the hands. By guiding those three points, and letting the subjects own personality do the rest, you can make them laugh, smirk, and jump for joy all in the same session.
The backgrounds and the props are useful tools of course, but are all relative to helping with the three keys. Almost any scene can be a great one. I just say a prayer for some guidance in helping me find what’s great about it, and how to put it to use.
I shoot all over the state, so this session for Casey in my own town of Ephrata was relaxing and fun. Casey did a great job. She came off a little shy at first, but I soon decided out she wasn’t really that shy. She just needed to start having some fun, and once she did we were off.
Here’s a few of my favorites. click any for a larger view… Gav
It’s senior season, and I’ve been keeping on the run. Now’s the time to book your sessions if your wanting senior portraits this summer.
This session was in Wenatchee with Cam. He was a really great subject, and enjoyed having fun with his portraits. I always try to make each portrait session personal, and these Wenatchee settings worked out perfect for Cam.
During the last few frames it started poring down rain and we had to rush, but it made some neat raindrop effects. Click an image for a larger view, and click the link below for the complete gallery… Gav

Sarah’s picture are all done. I posted a few the other day, but I’ve finally worked thru all the 500+ images and taken out the best. I know it sounds like a lot of pictures, but it’s actually normal for me to have a large quantity. At weddings I sometimes shoot a couple thousand.
I’m really happy with how Sarah’s portraits turned out. I’m posting a few more here, but the complete gallery is online is will be available for the next few months. Enjoy, and I always like hearing what you think… Gav
