Seniors by Erik

Stanwood High School Seniors......Amme and Leah

Ali and I photographed Amme and Leah for their senior pictures a few weeks ago. They did one of our 4 hour share with a friend location sessions. What a BLAST!! These sessions are great for several reasons. The sessions are longer because you are sharing with a friend which means we can go farther, and stop at more locations. We went from here in Oak Harbor to Deception Pass, West Beach, and several location in Anacortes. Also, it's really a lot of fun to have a friend or friends with you during your session. Having a friend with you during your senior picture session helps you relax and enjoy your pictures!! Amme and Leah have over 500 images to choose from.......WOW!! I really had a tough time narrowing that down to my very favorites.....there are so many AWESOME images! Amme and Leah did great, and more important they blast, and made a memory of their senior year that they won't forget.

Oak Harbor High School Senior.......Brie Charlesworth

Erik Vail — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 00:33:16 +0000

Brie is a 2010 Senior at Oak Harbor High School. I photograghed her last week and really had a blast!! I don't actually get to photograph that many Seniors. I stay so busy with weddings and Dad is the main photographer for the Seniors. Every once in a while I get the chance to do a senior session. I always think they are so fun, it's so much different than photographing a wedding or engagement couple. I really enjoy getting out of my box!! Brie did a great job, she has so many awesome images that it was hard for me to pick my favorites......but I managed. I chose my few VERY favorites to put up.....let me know what you think!! I love comments!

Oak Harbor Student.....Carson McKole

Carson was great to work with, what a fun session. She was up for anything...and she has some great senior pictures because of it. We really want each high school senior portrait session to be different, just like each person we are photographing. This style is cutting edge, hip, unique, and we do it best. If your an individual with style...this is the place to show it. Enjoy!!

I had a lot of fun working with erik on these pictures, it was a really enjoyable experience. Climbing around ft. ebey in a dress looking for good angles was definitely worth it. I would recommend Vail Studio to anyone who wants high quality photographs.

Bellingham High School Student.....Sarah Mchugh

I went up to Bellingham to photograph Sarah, she is a high school senior. I went there to expecting to do our usual one hour location session, but it was so much fun I ended up spending nearly three hours with her, and I took 250 shots. Sarah was great to work with...I really enjoyed the whole day. I enjoyed it so much I decided to make a slide show of my favorite photographs from the day.

Erik,

I just wanted to take the time to let you know justhow pleased we are about the pictures! They turned out absolutely gorgeous! Thank you so much for coming up our direction. I knew that we were in for a wonderful surprise by hiring you to take her senior pictures. You have a very creative eyeand talent for taking pictures into a zone greater than just the “traditional” look. Erik, you are so much fun to work with and I will highly recommend you to my friends and family. Sarah had a blast and fell in love with thewhole experience. She is very happy with the work.

Thanks again,

Julie, Kernan, and Sarah McHugh

Stanwood High Student......Amme Verbarendse

I photographed Amme in Mount Vernon. These senior location sessions are so much fun!!! When I met Amme and her Mom Karla in Mount Vernon to do this session the first thing out of Karla’s mouth was “Amme doesn’t like to have her picture taken and she is really nervous”, then Amme confirmed her Mom’s story. I think most people don’t really like to have their photograph taken....I know I don’t. It’s uncomfortable being the center of attention, at least for some of us. That is one thing that is so nice about these long location sessions. It gives time to relax...you get to walk around the city, try lots of different locations, your outside enjoying the day, before you know it the session is over and you have a bunch of great photographs to choose from. Take a look at these images, they are awesome. Can you believe Amme was nervous and doesn’t like to have her picture taken.

When I kinda got in touch with Erik and the idea of this city session photo shoot came up. I was like whoa! Hold up, that’s not for me, but well yea obviously I gave in, and we met. I was comfortable. Him and his wife were able to pull some gorgeous shots out of that day. I love my pictures, a Very Rare Statement for Amme. It was fun...:) I have to say that I am proud of these, even though the credit goes to Erik. Even if your camera shy, if your willingly to trust the man, he delivers and will take the ultimate shots.

Tiersha's Location Session

Erik Vail — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 21:04:20 +0000

Tiersha is a Vail Studio Photography model, however, this session was just for her. During her model session we stayed at the studio so Tiersha wanted to do a location session this time. These location sessions are really a good way to make a statement with your senior pictures. Each of these sessions is so unique, they are really a lot of fun!! I am really pleased with these photographs of Tiersha, they are truly one of a kind pieces of art because of Tiersha’s unique personality and style.

So I absolutely loved working with Erik on my senior session. I really enjoyed myself. Erik has an amazing artistic view on things which makes working with him so much fun. Going onto a location was a blast given we had tons of things to work with. I believe that my pictures turned out amazing and I love them all. I wouldn’t have gone anywhere else to get my senior pictures done =]
