Meet Bobby – class of 2011.  I’ve been photographing Bobby and his sister for quite a few years now and it’s just crazy to me to see him graduating.  The first few times he came to us he was well, less than excited to be there.  Then as time went on it became something fun for both of us.  When it came time for his senior session however, he was full of ideas and opinions which I am always glad to hear.  So it was off to Folsom lake to some of his favorite hang out spots.  The day was perfect and Bobby just nailed it.  Here are some faves.

Meet Ciara – class of 2011.  A future beauty school student, Ciara really knew how to tailor her look.  She brought the perfect clothing for a mix of some studio drama, and then it was outside to chase some light.  I particularly liked her dreamy look in this set.  Great job Ciara.  And thanks Julia B for the recommendation!

Meet Jaimie, class of 2010.  Yes…class of 2010.  We were quite surprised this year how many last minute 2010 seniors there were.  Jaimie was referred to us by her cousin Kayla, who is now undoubtedly packing for University of Oklahoma.  Thanks Kayla!

Once again, Jaimie knew the look she was after and planned her outfits perfectly.  It also helped that the sun completely cooperated and was glowing in exactly the right places.  And how about them boots!  Jaimie acted quite shy at first, but in no time at all was easy to coax out some of these incredible looks.  She also brought some friends along to make sure she was being herself.  Thanks Jaimie!

Meet Kate!  We met Kate through Erika who also made an appearance during the session and acted as Kate’s personal stylist and expression coach.  We decided to do her session in her own backyard,  which was a great location with  fantastic views.  There was lots of running, jumping and of course acting.  Erika was particularly good at bringing Kate’s personality out…and also a great singer.  We all lost track of time (of course) and before we knew it, it was getting dark and we were all hungry.  Thank you Penny (Kate’s mom) for the delicious sandwiches and your hospitality.  Another great time.

Just a few more 2010 seniors to blog then it’s time for some 2011’s!

Meet Keshia.  She brought mom(Jeri) to the consultation and I couldn’t tell who was more excited about having these portraits made.  They both had some pretty specific looks in mind which made things very interesting for me.  The day of Keshia’s session, the light was just perfect and well…just kind of told us where to go.  In the end we both were trying to out do each other chasing light into some beautiful and sometimes unusual places.  It was a great time.

Incoming seniors, it is that time.  Senior portrait season is here.  Meet our class of 2011 Spokesmodels!  Now is the time to schedule a consultation to discuss the look and feel of your senior session.  If you recognize any of our Spokesmodels, make sure you contact them about some special offers if you book your session this summer.  More information can be found at our regular Senior site HERE.

Meet Gina.  Part two of the Gina & Taylor experience.

As you can see, Gina was a star in front of the lens as well.  In the city, then off to the fields for some sun drenched loveliness, I though she did a fantastic job matching her expressions with her outfits/looks.  Thank you Gina (and Taylor!) again for such a unique experience, you both were wonderful!

p.s.  I LOVED that hat.  Take notes girls…more hats!

Meet Taylor…and Gina.  This was quite a special session as both Taylor and Gina had their senior session at the same time, a first for me.  Another “special” element to their session…rain.  The girls were great sports about this and we waited patiently for mother nature to do her thing.  A few drops here and there didn’t deter Taylor from looking fantastic.  Eventually, we had to throw in the towel and continue a few days later.  This turned out to be a good thing as Taylor got to change her look for the “in the fields” portion of her session.  Thank you Taylor and Gina for the experience, it was great!  Some faves…

Ever dreamed of having your senior portraits made in a castle?  For a limited few, we are offering a unique portrait opportunity this summer.  Please call for details. 916-759-8140

Meet Katie, class of 2010.  Still a bit behind here and wrapping up blogging our 2010 seniors.  Katie knew just the look she wanted for her senior session and brought some great clothing choices to her consultation.

We arrived at the location and things couldn’t have been better.  Katie dove right in and got into character (you know, the beautiful girl lost in the field role) and just lit things up.

I tend to lose track of time on these location sessions so thankfully Katie’s mom brought a book…I think she finished it..  It just seemed that every 50 feet there was some new interesting area for great photographs.  Thank you Katie for braving the mud, bugs, snakes I mean thistles & thorns…it was totally worth it.  Fantastic job!

Now some faves..
