This session of Lauren comes from Tacoma, Washington photographer, Tami Gookstetter of [BKP Seniors]. These are some great ideas on how to dress up your favorite everyday outfits for a photoshoot!! (PS, don’t forget your favorite prop too!)
Lauren is a 2010 senior from Puyallup, WA. She also is a talented musician who recently did her first open mic, she totally blew me away with an impromptu song during her session. WOW. Lauren has such a unique personality not to mention being gorgeous and confident to boot. Doesn’t she look a little like Audrey Hepburn with her cute haircut? I found this sweet spot with the purple wildflowers just a block from my studio and knew it was just perfect for her and her vintage truck; she and her dad finished restoring it the week of our shoot! All around this was one of those sessions you dream about and she was thrilled to have these memories.
Outfit One Pair your favorite tee & jeans look with your favorite scarf for an instant pop of color and flavor! Shirt, [American Eagle] + Jeans, [MEK Denim] + Scarf, a gift from Vietnam + Earrings, hand-me-down from Lauren’s Grandma
