Blast From The Past

Blast From The Past | Individual Senior Mini Sessions

This Tacoma session was such a fun one to photograph! ✨ I recently traveled to Tacoma, Washington for a special senior shoot, and had the joy of capturing two incredible senior girls back-to-back at one of my favorite urban locations in the PNW.

As a Fayetteville, NC photographer who loves combining travel with creative sessions, it was an absolute treat to bring my bright, vibrant style to Tacoma’s streets, from classic vintage backdrops to colorful downtown vibes.


Tacoma Vibes & Senior Energy

Each senior brought so much personality and flair to her portion of the session. Even though these were mini sessions, we packed in a ton of variety — from effortless natural smiles to bold, editorial-style looks!

Whether we were playing with Tacoma’s iconic urban scenery or catching that gorgeous Pacific Northwest light, these portraits truly captured the excitement and spirit of senior year here in Tacoma.

Personality + Style on Every Frame


From soft, golden light to confident, playful poses, these sessions reminded me why I love what I do, no matter where I’m shooting. Getting to photograph seniors in Tacoma was such a joy, and each girl’s unique style really told her story in front of my lens.

📍 Tacoma’s urban backdrops and vintage charm made this a session to remember!

A Tacoma Washington Senior Session


Tacoma’s urban textures, vintage architecture, and soft Pacific Northwest light created the perfect backdrop for this senior rep session. Each girl brought her own style, confidence, and personality — and even though this was a travel session, the energy and connection felt just like home.
