Introducing Addison Mount Rainier High School class of 2023. Addison brought it all for her session. It was such a pleasure getting to know this fun and fashionable senior. When asked where she wanted to do her session, she chose Discovery Park. It was a cold, sunny day, and Addison was such a champ in the cold weather.
I always send out a questionnaire prior to all sessions, which helps me to get to know each senior and for them to put some time into planning the perfect session. One of the questions on the questionnaires asks about hobbies and how they spend their free time. Addison plays guitar and wanted to include it in her session. She loves rock and roll, and she was excited to document it for all time.
With her love of camping and the outdoors, we started the session in one of the many wooded parts of Discovery Park. Here Addison used one of her dressier outfits as a contrast to the nature around us and created an amazing ethereal look. We then moved to the fort where there are some great grassy fields and older buildings. At this point, Addison changed into her more rock and roll look. We brought in her guitar and captured golden hour pictures with her playing and posing with it.
Addison took my suggestion and had three - four different looks and when we got to her last outfit it was the perfect look in front of some of the buildings located in the old fort. It is always a good idea to discuss different looks with your photographer. An experienced photographer will know which of your choices will look good in each chosen location. I always ask my seniors what outfits they plan on using so we can have a constant look across images.

Working with Addison was a blast. Her willingness to be flexible and try fun poses and locations was amazing. I look forward to seeing where she goes and the great things she will do in the future!
