Portland Senior Photographer | Ashlie | Jesuit Class of 2020

This Portland Senior Session was very special for me. Ashlie is a senior at Jesuit and she is an incredible dancer at Fired-Up Dance Academy. Ashlie is so kind and sweet. She is an inspiration at the dance studio for all the dancers. She is silly and goofy and so beautiful. I have been photographing Ashlie the past 5 years at the studio. We have started the thumbs up club together. She is always making me smile and everyone around her.

For Ashlie’s senior session we went to Milo McIver Park near Estacada. The weather in September was so abnormal and we had to reschedule twice due to rain. Luckily, we were able to find some sunshine and make it happen. The old barn, fields and river were the perfect place for photos. I love all the outfits Ashlie choose. She looked amazing. Ashlie doesn’t always love to be in front of the camera. We have worked together many times though, and we are a great team. There were lots of laughs while working on our “smize” face.

Ashlie has an exciting senior year coming up, full of dance opportunities and auditions. This December you can see her on stage in Fired- Up Dance Academy’s Nutcracker as the Snow Queen. I am so excited to see what her next step will be and to watch her dance on stage this year. Thank you Ashlie for always being real and such an incredible role model for all the dancers, including my daughter, at the dance studio.
