Laine is a very friendly, cheerful and outgoing person. She attends The Bush School on capitol hill. Laine actually enjoys school and her classes and plans to study psychology and communications in college. She is involved in the theatre program and she (like Reiko below) volunteers at the Children’s Hospital! I am so lucky to be able to photograph such talented and giving seniors! Laine also has the sweetest relationship with her Dad. He followed us around on his bike from location to location. I always have a soft spot for father-daughter relationships like Laine has with her Dad.

Reiko is caring, fun-loving, responsible, and a great listener. She will spend her summer volunteering at the children’s hospital and… I also heard something about a fun excursion to Japan and Disneyworld Tokyo. Reiko has attended Japanese school for the last 12 years on Saturdays, so we decided that sporting a traditional Japanese uniform in Bellevue would really reflect her style. Reiko’s name means professional woman and she is planning to use her talents to help kids.

Erin is very active within her community and spends some of her time using her knowledge of ASL to speak with the deaf and hearing impaired. She has also spent time in Chili doing missionary work. Erin is very kind hearted but is also tough when she needs to be. She and her mother are very close and good friends. I was impressed with her spirit of service and adventure.
