It’s all about Taylor! / Pt. 1 Field / Southern Oregon High School Senior Photographer

The GORGEOUS miss Taylor is my first class of 2011 senior!!  And what a way to start the 2011 season!!

This is going to be a VERY emotional year for me.  As most of you know, my son is also class of 2011, and I am overwhelmed with joy and pride as I have the privilege of capturing many of the kids that my son grew up with.

I first met miss Taylor’s mom and dad in a Labor and Delivery class when we were both pregnant with Taylor and Tim!!  HA!! They were “womb” mates!!  (my son is going to kill me for putting this on the blog)  HA HA!  Anyway, I have had the pleasure of watching Taylor grow into a beautiful young woman.  She is an absolute delight.

Lashell, (her mama) and I teared up when we started shooting the first half of Taylors session.  Sigh…it’s going to be a rough year.:)

When we had her consultation to discuss a concept for her session, we wanted to have the best of both worlds!  Taylor had two sessions!  We shot the first session in one of my favorite locations here in Medford.  We wanted organic,soft and feminine.  The weather was FUHreezing!!  We couldn’t believe it was June and in the low 50’s.  The wind was crazy, and my shooting finger went numb. LOL

We were able to capture some beautiful shots of Taylor. It wasn’t difficult.  I’m pretty sure whatever the elements, she would photograph beautifully.:)

I posted a “teaser” today of session 1, with more to come.  Session 2 was shot downtown Portland , OR.  I can’t WAIT to share those!!  AMAZING!!

Have a safe and happy 4th everyone!!  I will be back in the office on July the 6th!!

We had some tunes playing, and she busted out some moves!! LOL She's 'happy snappin" !

Anyone remember the first shot I did of her similar to this about 3 years ago??:)

AMAZING eyes!!!
