We did a session with Carter and her friends this summer, right as they prepared to depart for college, to celebrate their friendship. Carter's younger sister, Harris, thought that the idea was so much fun that she decided she wanted to do a session to celebrate the birthday of one of her best friends. And so we set out one Saturday morning into our SE Portland neighborhood with Harris, Megan, Maddie, and Halle to play around and capture some shots that shows just how close they really are. They've been friends for years and years and watching them joke and cajole and just be with each other was a wonderful affirmation of the power of friendship in our lives. I'm so glad that I finally get to share these shots with them!

We've been doing lots of senior sessions but Cory's may rank as my favorite. We went to some fun areas that we hadn't been before, tried a lot of things (including climbing a bridge!) and had a great time with her. It probably helped that she's a natural model and totally gorgeous. Oh, and those curls? She says that they "just happen." If only every shoot was this perfect!
