Chelan :: Jennifer O’Donnell Photography, The Dalles Senior Photographer

Jenny O'Donnell — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 01:56:49 +0000

Chelan is a natural in front of the camera. Every time I started to direct her, she already moved her arm or head or whatever body part I was wanting to change position into exactly the spot I’d been wanting. It was freezing cold up in the higher elevations in The Dalles where we did our shoot, but despite the goosebumps, Chelan rocked it! Congrats on your senior year! I look forward to our second session with the spring flowers!

Brooke is delightful…plain and simple. She’s zestful about life, has a contagious smile and life and makes you feel good when you’re around her. I’m thankful she asked me to come to The Dalles to do her senior portraits. I had a blast! Congratulations on your senior year!

Caroline :: Jennifer O’Donnell Photography, Portland Oregon Senior Portraits

Caroline’s session in The Dalles was exciting to say the least! When we first arrived at her house, her mom told us that we’d be going down the road to a large plot of land that is home to some horses set out to pasture. The horses don’t get a lot of human contact that anyone knows of, so when people go have been on the land, the horses have acted a bit aggressive. Not to worry though, because Caroline’s mom was coming with us and she was bringing the whips to protect us. Me, being the wild outdoors woman I am (ha ha), wasn’t the least bit nervous (yeah, right). Sure enough, as soon as we started the trek down to the abandoned house and barn on the property where we hoped to shoot, one of the horses spotted us. Quickly all the horse were alerted to our presence and they came running. Caroline’s mom kept us safe by yelling at the horses to stop. It was pretty awesome to witness. We shot between some rain showers inside the old abandoned farm house complete with collapsing roof and torn floorboards. Then we headed over to the old barn, erected on stacked up rocks forming a makeshift foundation, and held together by thick wooden nails. A perfectly beautiful rustic location and a photographer’s dream. Caroline’s smile shone brightly throughout the rain showers that passed in and out during our session and at the end, she even tamed the wild beasts! I thought a shot of her with the horses in the backdrop would be beautiful, and she went so far as to reach her hand out to them and stand right next to them. It was amazing. Congrats to Caroline and the rest of the 2011 Senior class!

Katie :: Class of 2011 :: Jennifer O’Donnell Photography, Portland, Oregon Senior Portrait Photography

For Katie’s session, I traveled to the gorgeous city of The Dalles. We drove around town and found some little location gems and were lucky enough to get our session in between rain showers. Katie brought a few different changes, her mom and a good friend…all perfect to bring along to a session to make sure she got lots of different looks, and lots of great smiles. I have to admit, I love shooting in The Dalles! It’s just so beautiful there! Congrats to the senior class of 2011!

Exchange :: Jennifer O’Donnell Photography, Portland Oregon Senior Portraits

This beautiful girl is on an exchange program from Korea. I was immediately impressed with her when we met in downtown Portland for her high school senior portraits. Her kind soul radiates warmth and happiness to those she meets. Can’t you see it in her eyes? Yep, I was one lucky photographer today!

These two stunning young ladies were so fun to photograph. We waited for the perfect light out in the field near the Portland Airport, passing the time in front of the Aloft Hotel in Cascade Station. The light was magical! See for yourself!

This girl is the older sister of the two little ladies from the previous post. Holy smokes is she gorgeous. Wow. Thanks for being such a trouper and laying down in fields of weeds, on top of old barbed wire and tree moss, and braving the wind. You ROCK!
