I don’t even know where to start talking about Ian’s session. When his mom contacted me to shoot his senior photos it took me about a week to get over the fact that ‘little’ Ian was a senior. We grew up on the same road in Lincoln City and I used to baby sit him when we was a toddler / kid. I’ll refrain from sharing any stories Ian – but I can’t resist sharing this cute photo I have of you!
Two years after this photo was taken I graduated high school and moved away and unfortunatly didn’t get to see Ian very often. Then next thing I know, he’s a foot taller than me and graduating high school himself! (I feel OLD!) Thanks Ian for hanging out with me. It was a blast to go back my my old stomping grounds and get to see that many of Ian’s favorite activities were things I did growing up too (exploring the woods, wading through the swamp, finding huckleberries etc)






One we were done exploring the woods, Ian and I headed to the beach because you can’t be a senior on the coast and not get a few beach photos, and what’s more Lincoln City that photos in the fog? Right?











Ian’s family is a bit of a coast icon. In fact if you’ve been to Lincoln City, chances are you’ve met them. They own Alder House Glass Blowing near Salishan Resort. They are some of the nicest, kindest and all around coolest people you’ll ever meet. So if you haven’t been to Alder House you should go visit. Tell them to make you a lamp shade, it’s one of the funnest things to watch being made!
