Oh, Portland, you never fail to provide the most stunning backdrops for my senior sessions! And Cody? He completely stole the show. I could tell from the moment we met up for his September senior session that he was going to bring the energy, the style, and the kind of effortless cool that makes a photographer’s heart sing.
Cody’s love for fashion was undeniable—every outfit he chose was a perfect reflection of his personality. From funky patterns to self created pieces, he absolutely owned his looks. But what really made this session special was the contrast between his stylish wardrobe and the vibrant, raw beauty of Portland’s street art.
Graffiti walls in this city aren’t just random splashes of color; they’re stories, emotions, and artistic expressions that made every shot feel dynamic and full of life.
We hopped from one incredible location to another, each mural more eye-catching than the last. Some were packed with neon hues, others had moody, monochromatic tones, and all of them worked as an incredible canvas for Cody’s senior photos. Whether he was leaning casually against a massive, abstract masterpiece or walking confidently down an alleyway lined with intricate tags, every frame was a work of art.
And then, of course, there were the sweetest surprise guests—Cody’s dogs! I love when seniors bring their pets along because it adds such a personal touch to their session. His pups trotted into a few photos, tails wagging and eyes full of love, making for some of the most heartwarming images of the day. The mix of urban grit and genuine, furry companionship was pure magic.
As the golden September light began to fade, we wrapped up Cody’s session with some final shots against a particularly stunning wall of the reflection of the city. The whole session felt like an editorial spread straight out of a fashion magazine, and Cody? Well, he looked every bit the star of his own story.
If you’ve been dreaming of a senior session that feels uniquely you, let’s make it happen! Whether you’re into bold cityscapes, dreamy forests, or something totally out-of-the-box, I’d love to help bring your vision to life. Reach out today, and let’s create something unforgettable together!
