We have done most of our senior sessions this year down in the inner SE Portland industrial district, where our studio is located (yes, right in the middle of all of the construction for MAX!), but for Ellie we made an exception. She has a CRAZY schedule– she was just in the school play, she runs track, she’s taking AP exams… you know, all in a days work for the average high school student, right? Will is an OES alum and so we’ve spent a fair bit of time over the years on campus and so we decided to make Ellie’s life just a little bit easier by meeting her a little closer to her life. It was fun to wander around in the places that have become so familiar and see them in a totally different light. The one unexpected part of the session? We realized that anyone with windows facing the areas we were photographing in could watch the entire thing! But Ellie was a really good sport and played it up, and I love what came out of it.
