Gabby is a volleyball player from Vancouver, and you can tell: she’s tall. And beautiful. (I don’t think either of those things have to do with the fact that she’s from Vancouver.)
With a little attention from our hair and makeup stylist, she was ready for an evening on the Columbia River with me.
After photographing for a couple hours in the magic light before sunset, I remembered a portrait I’d been looking at earlier in the week. Leonardo DaVinci painted a portrait of a woman with an ermine, with her hair pulled in below her chin. Not at all trying to replicate the DaVinci painting (although I’d love to…), nonetheless I liked the idea, and had Gabby pull her hair below her chin, and we took a few more portraits in the dying evening light. It turned out to be my favorite portrait of the evening.
You can see the full set of her senior portraits on the Portland waterfront in her slideshow!
I love photographing senior portraits, and you can see why on my website.
