Cannon Beach Senior Portrait Photographer - Jayden, class of 2023 (part 1)

I’ve known this gorgeous senior since she was a baby. Actually, her mom was pregnant with her when I was pregnant with my youngest and somewhere there’s an old photo to prove it! Anyway, if she looks familiar, it’s probably because I did her sister’s senior photos a couple of years ago and they look a lot a like (and for those who know their parents…they look JUST like them, don’t they?) . In fact, we did part of her sister’s senior portraits at this same beach (click HERE to see that blog post). Although she doesn’t live there now, the Oregon Coast is where she grew up and this specific beach has a lot of meaning to her and her family.

If you would like to book senior portraits (or any portraits) at the beach, we can totally make that happen! Just let me know.

Because Jayden booked the biggest senior portrait package, I will be doing two more blog posts featuring her photos!

Salem Portrait Photographer - If you love her, leave her wild.

Tiffany is basically my muse now. She started off as a client about a decade ago and quickly became a friend. At first it was just a few boudoir sessions (she’s sort of addicted to them), but then we started doing family sessions and every now and then she models for me as well. This session, for example, was very spontaneous (i.e. less than 12 hours notice), as I wanted to shoot in this field before my neighbors mowed it. The “flowers” had never been this tall, in the 12 yrs we’ve lived here, so it HAD to be done. I’m so glad I did because they flattened the field (to reduce fire danger) a day or two later.

I knew Tiffany would have just the right outfit for this shoot, as she’s a country girl and loves the outdoors. I also knew she’d be 100% fine with traipsing through a field full of burrs, dirt clods, rocks, and holes. She’s a bit of a wild woman…in the best way possible. She’s been through a lot the last few years and one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen is her fully embracing who she is and letting it shine! Someday, she’ll meet a man who loves her for exactly who she is and he won’t try to tame her. ;)
