2025 Senior Portraits

May 02, 2025

Spring portraits are in full swing now. The (very long) rainy season this year here in Northern California has given us so much green grass and blooming flowers. But it won't last long...As we know, soon all the grasses will dry out and most of it all turns gold/yellow hence the namesake Golden State.I love photographing at this time of year because of all the beautiful colors! Here are some of my favs from spring senior sessions.

Grace - 2025 Senior Rep

Sep 24, 2024

This is Grace. She is one of my Senior Reps for 2025 and we had a beautiful summer day for her session. One of the perks of being a Senior Rep (and there are many) is you get first choice of dates in the busy summer/early fall season. It was so smart of her to get her senior pictures taken before the rush of school starts. She brought her Willow Glen High School letter jacket and pom poms which made for some cute pics. I love how the red of the jacket contrasts with the green grass. Red and ...

2023 Seniors

Jul 17, 2023

Casey, Class of 2023 When Casey's mom said she wanted his pictures to include his dirt bike, I did a little happy dance. I knew the session would be unique. Casey loves to race his dirt bike and he showed me his skills at the top of a gorgeous outlook. I timed the session so we would end at sunset, so we could get beautiful sky colors. I loooove how these pics turned out. You would never know that we were having a heat wave and it was over 90 degrees. Note the mom and son pics at the ...

Colin-Class of 2022

Aug 23, 2022

Colin M.-Class of 2022Colin is a neighbor of mine and I've watched him grow up. Taking his senior pictures was an honor for me. It gave me a chance to get to get to know his high school self as I hadn't really talked to him in a while. He is a big swimmer so part of his session was at the pool. I had never taken senior pictures at a pool before but I was willing to try. I researched and got a few ideas. We took pics of him swimming, diving as well as that ...

What I've Figured Out

Aug 16, 2022

Senior portraits can be way more than a tux and a velvet drape. Over the last few years I've figured out how to get high school seniors to let their guard down and show me who they really are.There is usually a point during the photo session where it happens, about 20 minutes in, that they stop worrying about what to do or how they look, and just start showing themselves to me. Their true self. Their inner self.They completely trust that they won't look foolish and realize that the session is ...

Senior Session-Bella

Aug 25, 2021

Here is a fabulous high school senior session from last spring that I want to share with you. We had a perfectly sunny afternoon and packed a ton into this session. Bella is a softball player and will be playing in college. We highlighted that but also caught other sides of her. She brought her dad’s cowboy hat and wore it in few shots. I absolutely love those images…and so did Dad! Here is a preview of the first part of the session. Scroll down for a more shots from the second ...

Website Images for Holistic Healer

Aug 24, 2021

Lisa Marie is a holistic healer and needed some pictures for her website. She brought several colorful outfits which really help her stand out. We chose this location as it evokes the sense of balance and connection to nature. After the yoga poses, Lisa wanted images of her dancing, because it’s a big part of who she is. We turned on her favorite song and I snapped away as she got her groove on. I love the these images of her as she looks so happy and in-the-moment. Thank you Lisa ...
