The Lake house – Kitsap County Senior Photographer

This Lake house session. Guys, I just adore it!

I don’t often end up shooting senior photos, but whenever I do, I just LOVE them. They are always such a nice change of pace for me. Plus, being as my kids are so little, it gives me a chance to get to know some really incredible teens and remember my own high school years.

Now, I’m one of those odd kids that actually had a pretty great high school experience. I was certainly not an “it girl” and I didn’t run around with the “cool” kids but I had a phenomenal group of friends and I even ended up marrying my high school sweetheart. I have very fond memories of heading down to Lake of the Ozarks during the summer to spend a weekend at my best friend’s lake house. Probably close to 10 of us would cram into their cabin and spend the weekend sunbathing, swimming, tubing, eating junk food and watching movies. It was the thing high school dreams are made of.

So when I met with Jack and his mom and they suggested we shoot his senior portraits at the lake house they rented every year I was just beyond enthusiastic! And, indeed, showing up on their doorstep completely took me back. The house decor, the sound of the water, the dock, the kids and their belongings strewn about. It’s sometimes so comforting to know how somethings can be so much the same even when they are in a completely different part of the country and close to 15+ years later.
