Lucia: Class of 2024: Bellarmine Prep: Tacoma Senior Photographer

I love senior sessions, but this one may have taken the cake. I’ve reached the point where I am starting to photograph seniors who I have know since they were born. Lucia is one of them. I first met her parents at a church service in Wright Park and they had tiny Lucia with them. And now here she is a graduating senior, heading off to college this fall. I also love senior sessions because I take great joy in watching kids express their personality in the images we create. Whether it’s their fashion choices or where they prefer to take photos, there is always sometime different and unique in a senior session. Lucia’s was wonderful, as we stayed at her house and explored a bit of her neighborhood, and of course, include her dog Pippa. She also chose clothes that were special to her, one being an outfit she bought while studying abroad in France.

If you have a kid getting ready to start their senior year as the class of 2025 you can reach me HERE if you would like to learn more about my senior photo sessions. I like to make it an enjoyable experience for everyone and am flexible with the needs of all students.

    Sliding Scale Guidelines

    you will have the option to choose between Low Budget and Regular. For this model to work you need to be honest with yourself and your financial situation. But while I ask you to consider these factors, please don’t stress about them. Pay what feels right. I will not ask questions or quiz you on your payment choices

    Consider paying less on the scale if you:

    • are a person who experiences discrimination due to systematic oppression
    • have medical expenses not covered by insurance.
    • are eligible for public assistance
    • are an unpaid community organizer
    • are supporting children, family members in need or have other dependents
    • are an elder with limited financial support

    Consider paying more on the scale if you:

    • own the home you live in
    • have investments, retirement accounts, or inherited money
    • travel recreationally
    • have access to family money and resources in times of need
    • work part-time by choice
    • have a relatively high degree of earning power due to level of education, gender privilege, racial privilege, class background, etc. Even if you are not currently exercising your earning power, I ask you to recognize this as a choice.

     

    If you would like to share these thoughts please feel free to do so. You can use the visual and also share my words. I only ask that you give credit as I do. My words were inspired by Alexis J. Cunningfolk, Meghan Gilmore, Claire Louise Travers, Ride Free: Fearless Money, Margeaux Feldman. Andrea Vollgas
