Meet Emily, another upcoming graduate of Westview’s Class of 2012! Emily brought her mom and her peppy charm and they both kept me laughing during her portrait session. It’s been getting pretty warm lately during these afternoon sessions, so we had to take a quick sidebar into Starbuck’s to cool off and rehydrate. We tried out a few new locations that I haven’t had the opportunity to shoot in and around the Pearl District. In addition to sneaking in a sports portrait with her cheerleading outfit! There are actually some cool action shots, but I’m going to save those for her private viewing. Emily, enjoy your sneak peek!

If you go to Westview HS and want your senior pictures done by Melissa Hathaway Photography, your deadline is October 31st! Don’t wait to long because September is just about booked and October dates will be filling soon!

Last week was spring break for most of the schools in this area. So, just before everybody headed out to their favorite spring break location of choice, I was lucky enough to steal a bit of time away from them on a beautiful sunny Saturday for some model reps shoot. First up was Blake, coming well prepared with a good variety of clothes, shoes and accessories to boot! I am very fortunate to have a really great team of Model Reps to work with this year! Blake’s mom kept me well entertained, snapping away several iphone photos of me in action. If I get a chance between all the model rep shoots that I need to post, I’ll post a few of her snapshots of me on Facebook! Blake…there were so many good images, it was too hard to choose!

I’ve been really fortunate to have sessions scheduled right at the opportune time of rain breaks. So, when Kallie and her mom came in for her session last week, I was elated and RUSHING to get out the door to take advantage of the brief dry spell we had on that day. Based on her mom’s comments, I think it will be a surprise (and a special treat) to reveal portraits of Kallie with her hair down! While soccer is life for Kallie, she is absolutely beautiful when she lets go of the soccer girl hair and let’s it down for a little relaxing stroll around the Pearl. College bound on a soccer scholarship, there are many great things ahead of this soon to be 2010 graduate! Kallie, enjoy your sneak peek!
