Gabriela - Portland, OR - High School Senior Photographer

One of my goals for 2010* is to improve my directorial skills during a photoshoot. I've become so used to photographing kids, I have forgotten that older folks require some sort of direction.
Except Gabriela. She didn't need any. She totally made my job a WHOLE LOT EASIER. Thank you, Gabriela! Much luck in your graduating high school year** and I hope you get to attend my alma mater, SCAD! :) {Also, I used a mix of film and digital for this shoot. Photo above is film, oh how I missed you)






* Oh BTW HAPPY NEW YEAR, Y'ALL!
**2010 also marks my 10 years from my own high school graduation. How did this happen, again? Hmm?

Dang! how do you find these amazingly sophisticated high school ladies? This girl is gorgeous and really radiates confidence. I love her shoes, too. What restaurant did you shoot in? I love the colors of the tablecloth/floor/walls.
p.s. this photo also makes me long for warm weather and lush greenery, sigh...

OMG, what a beautiful girl. 2009 marked my 10yr graduation form HS ... not fun I tell you. Especially since I was defending my thesis while my HS friends were partying back home ... sniff, sniff. I love all the pics and she looks so fashion.
