Jane | Class of 2013 | Salem Senior Photographer

05.06.13

The school year for the Class of 2013 will be drawing to a close soon, which is bittersweet. I had the amazing opportunity to work with so many incredible high school seniors this year, I am so excited to see where the future takes each every single one of them. There are no words for how much I love working with and connecting with teen girls, showing them how truly beautiful they are and letting them see themselves through my eyes. If you are a high school junior, take a moment to think about what you are looking for in your senior portrait experience. If it involves laughter, uninhibited fun and celebrating who you are, in this moment- I am your photographer. I have specialized in senior portraiture since 2009, it was with purpose and heart that I chose this genre of photography. I would LOVE to give you the Young & Free Experience you are looking for. This is a moment that should live within you forever, it all starts with choosing the right photographer to capture the real you.

A ton of time and thought has gone into the new structure of our pricing, it was created with YOU in mind. It’s a mix of hi-resolution digital files to keep our senior girls happy and high-end products to stand the test of time, which will keep parents and grandparents happy, too. Your digital images can be loaded directly onto your smart phone and shared with everyone you love on Facebook and anywhere else you spend your time. You have the freedom to print what you need, when you need it. You also have the option to invest in statement and heirloom products, such as Leather Albums, Metal & Canvas Prints, as well as our coveted and highly sought-after Young & Free Look Book (senior magazine). Interested in booking your fabulous senior portrait session with me? Schedule your session here! I can’t wait to work with you!

And now – I am so excited to share Jane’s gorgeous senior session with you! We had such an amazing time during her shoot, we were blessed with tons of sunshine and vibrant color. Jane absolutely rocked her session, from her impeccable style all the way down to her carefree spirit. She even brought her adorable little pup, Sophie. So cute!! Jane, I can’t thank you enough for choosing me to be your senior photographer! I had the best time working with you!! I hope you loved the experience as much as I did and I hope you LOVE your senior pictures! You are such a cool girl and I can’t wait to see all of the amazing things ahead of you! Much love!!

Emma | Class of 2014 Young & Free Senior Model

04.22.13

There has been so much happening at the HTP headquarters (or home office, if you will) this past few months. Crazy planning, tons of creating, a healthy dose of chaos and a few sleepless nights. Haha! While some of the things currently in the works aren’t ready to be announced, I am thrilled to let you know that I’ve added 2 more Workshops to our 2013 Calendar! If you can’t make it to a Workshop in Oregon in June, August or October- maybe you can join us in California instead? I will be in San Francisco on October 2 & 3 and Palm Springs on November 6 & 7! I hope to see you there!

I have also been a busy girl collaborating with my amazing friend, Heather, creating the premiere issue of our new Photography Magazine, Denim+Grace. For those of you who don’t know, Denim+Grace was created for YOU! We have been so fortunate to have so many amazing photographers offer up their stories, talent, struggles and triumphs for our premiere issue. We are absolutely blown away! It’s going to be one amazing issue, just sayin’! You don’t want to miss it!! Be sure to join us on Facebook, check out the Digest and pre-order our very first issue now!

Amidst all of this, I have also been hard at work, photographing my amazing 2013 Young & Free Senior Model Team! The weather has been a little bi-polar in Oregon, which is totally how Spring works here. ;) I recently had the opportunity to meet and photograph Emma, one of our awesome Salem area senior models! I absolutely adored this girl and her entourage (BFF’s Garrett & Kelly). We were so lucky to have a warm, gorgeous, sunny day for her shoot! I absolutely LOVE my girls and cannot wait for the 2014 senior season to kick off this summer!

Emma, thank you so much for an amazing shoot! I can’t wait for your real senior session, I can only begin to image how much fun we will have and how awesome it will be! You are such a cool girl and I am thrilled to have you on my 2014 team! I hope you loved the experience and your senior model pics! Much love!!
