Sam is a recent graduate from Astoria High School. Earlier in the year, we did his senior photos at Shively Park. This is a great location in town: great textures and colors, shelter from the weather, and lots of places for fun photos.

I always suggest bringing any props that tell your story. Sam brought some cool hats, sunglasses, a great pair of headphones, and a couple of shirt / jacket changes. This allowed us to create a nice variety in his photos with quick outfit changes.

Shively Park has some amazing textures that always pop when studio lighting hits them. It’s a small detail, but I feel details make all the difference.

Sam is a native to Astoria does farm work and looks to continue his education at Clatsop Community College.

Best of luck in your future Sam!
