Eastlake High School | Issaquah & Sammamish Senior Photographer
Who says you can’t have breathtaking senior portraits in the dead of winter? I had the absolute best time celebrating Mason, a rockstar from the Class of 2026 at Eastlake High School! We planned an ultimate session for him in January, and we completely lucked out with a truly stunning, sunny Washington day! The light was crisp, clean, and provided that amazing, warm glow I love to capture on the Seattle Eastside.
We kicked off his Sammamish senior portraits at a beautiful local park. Mason looked sharp in his casual wear, showcasing his love for football by bringing his favorite ball along. The bright afternoon sun made his photos pop! Next, we moved to a stunning field of tall grass for his second outfit. This is where the star of the show arrived: his sweet pup! Incorporating pets is always a blast, and those candid moments with his dog are some of my absolute favorites, truly capturing that relaxed, genuine side of him.
The heart of Mason’s session, however, was at the Eastlake ball fields. Since he is such an avid player and plans to play college baseball, seeing him in his Eastlake High School jersey, holding his bat and glove, was awesome! We captured dynamic action shots that truly highlighted his talent. What made this location even more special was his family jumping in to pitch and catch with him. This is what Last Forever Images is all about: capturing the connections that matter most.
We wrapped up our time downtown Issaquah with a final family photo session right before sunset. I loved that they coordinated matching sweatshirts to capture a special family moment. It was the perfect ending to a session that was truly all about what Mason loves most: family and sports.
Mason, I wish you all the best for your senior year!

I started taking photos as a way to bring healing to our world and tell the stories of the amazing human beings in my local community before they no longer could tell their story. Because, I didn't have that opportunity with any of my parents and grandparents, they passed in my early 20's.
Since 2019, I have fell more passionately in love for photography and storytelling but also my love for empowering young people in my community. So I decided to bring both passions together to create Last Forever Images.
...I was adopted at the age of 3 months by an elderly couple who didn't have the tools to raise a baby to be an empowered Black Girl living in Snohomish County. I didn't find my Black Girl Magic or learn to love my authentic self until my early-mid 20's.
I now believe my life long mission is to teach young people to find who they are and love themselves fully and to never let someone define who they are are who they should become.
