Emily is a senior this year at Bellarmine Prep in Tacoma. I met her, her twin sister and their mom at Point Defiance Park last month on a beautiful August evening. We started things off at the Pagoda.

It was a special opportunity to photograph these twin sisters individually as well as capture some photos of them together. I loved their personalities, their relationship and their energy.

Emily was such a sport and didn’t even blink when I told her I was going to put her in the bushes. No flowers were trampled in capturing this girl in this golden light.
Irish dance has been a big part of Emily’s life for many years now. Regular practice as well as traveling to compete keeps her busy, so I’m glad she chose to showcase one of her costumes in her senior session.One of the things I really try to bring out and capture during portrait sessions is joy. This image perfectly captures one of those spontaneous joyful moments!
Our last stop was Owen’s Beach for a fun series of images amongst the driftwood.
Like her sister, Emily plays instruments and is involved with band, however, Emily has her sights a little further afield when it comes to colleges. Trinity College in Dublin is her number one choice and she’d like to study physics, math or maybe something in the field of neuroscience. Thank you, Emily, for allowing me to photograph your senior portraits! I wish you all the best for your senior year and am excited to see where your adventures take you!
