The Music in Her Heart...

Shot portraits on Tuesday of this wonderful lady, Doree Jarboe, Director of Vocal Music at Grant High School, for an award program where she is the recipient.
We started with some formal ones with a canvas background then moved on to some more relaxed poses/lighting. I felt like I was in the presence of true Portland royalty, she is just the coolest person. I can only imagine how many lives she has touched and changed over the course of her 44 year teaching career. When I met her on a shoot about five years ago, we talked a lot about the movie "Mr. Holland's Opus", shot on location in her choir room at Grant. She had so many interesting stories to share about the experience! To learn more about this amazing lady read this!

This is the one she picked for the presentation.
