Rio Jean Photography - Lakewood, WA {School Portraits}

I can't believe how much this young man has grown since last year! Time really is going so fast, Zavier is in 8th grade now, next year he'll be in high school! And I know that he has been wanting his hair braided for a while, so I like these pictures with his changed up hair style!  I did photoshop one picture for his mom..can't share it here, but lets say he had a bangin fro! LOVE!

I know I have said this numerous times, parents, hold your kiddos tight, one day they won't be babies anymore :(

 

Rio Jean Photography - Maple Valley, WA {High School Senior}

Have you heard of Brooks Carlston?  No? Brooks is an amazingly talented high school senior who is a songwriter/singer/musician, he does it all!  Check him out at http://www.reverbnation.com/brookscarlston

I had the opportunity to photograph Brooks for his high school senior pictures and also for some headshots for his music.  Lucky me, I was able to hear some of his playing and singing, I talked him into singing some Rush  :)  And of course what is a session without some pictures with mom!

Good luck to Brooks and his endeavors and if you haven't, go check him out, you won't be sorry!

Rio Jean Photography - Kent, WA {Tween Modern Beauty Portraits}

I love photographing Tweens as I have the opportunity to document the transition from childhood to the teenage years. There is still that innocence in a tween and I enjoying being able to capture that. I had an awesome time doing this Tween’s Modern Beauty session in my home studio in Kent, isn’t Ayden gorgeous!? She has so much potential and I am looking forward to seeing her life unfolds!
Hair and Makeup: MaeBelle Lei Ann with Downtown Lash and Beauty Co.
Remember this special time in your tween’s life, it’s only here for a short time.

Rio Jean Photography - Richland, WA {High School Senior Portraits}

I have been thinking about doing some business in the Tri-City area (Richland, Pasco, Kennewick) as I travel there often. The most recent time I was there I decided to test out a hair/makeup artist who happened to my best friend when I was in elementary school! How cool is that!? I also was able to work with another childhood friend who’s daughter was our model for the day, we were able to do a “pre High School Senior” session as she wouldn’t officially be a senior until next year. I love these pictures, Emily is GORGEOUS! She did a fantastic job with being model! The image with the flowing dress, was something I have been trying to get for a while and I was finally able to get this image!
AND I am pretty pleased with the hair and makeup, so ladies and guys, if you ever need anything done with your hair or need something for a special occasion, check out Jessica Rizzo at The Fringe at the Parkway (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fringe-at-the-Parkway)
If you are in the market for some High School Senior Portraits or Maternity Portraits in Richland, Kennewick, or Pasco you can start booking your sessions with me!
