a night at the fair | folsom senior portait photography

Tuesday, August 3, 2010 Posted in Uncategorized, graduates

Another dream realized. A few weeks ago it was sunflowers and last week it was the California State Fair. I have wanted to do a photoshoot at the fair for a couple years now, but you definitely have to have the personality to rock a session in the middle of hundreds of bystanders. Luckily Katelyn, my senior spokesmodel for Oak Ridge High School was totally up for it.

I love the fair–it really has a little bit of everything. Gorgeous gardens. Yep, they’ve got that. Bright, bold colors. Oh yeah, in abundance. Crazy carnies? Of course. Adorable vendors who supply you with teeny, tiny guitars (are those ukuleles?) as props? Yeah, he was there. I felt like a kid in the candy store during this session. There was a brand new backdrop at every corner, so many pockets of gorgeous light. Oh yeah, and thousands of people. Literally…thousands.

But I’m loving the way these images turned out. You really would have no idea how crazy chaotic it was (Note to self: don’t schedule sessions on dollar ride night at the fair). Katelyn was gorgeous and up for anything and was so much fun to hang out with. And my mom even joined us as my assistant and schlepped my gear around all evening–thanks Mom! All in all it was a perfect night at the fair.

fields of sunflowers | folsom senior portrait photographer

Monday, July 19, 2010 Posted in Uncategorized, graduates

I have been dreaming of sunflower filled fields for two years now, and last week my dream became a reality. As many of you that are local know, Sacramento is home to acres and acres of golden fields during the summer months. However, these past years I’ve acted too late and always seemed to schedule a session right at the end of the short season. Not so this year. When I talked to Allie, my gorgeous senior spokemodel for Oakmont High School, I knew these fields would be a perfect fit for our session.

Allie and I drove down to Davis for her senior portraits and since we have similar outgoing personalities, I don’t think there was a single moment that one of us wasn’t talking. And I loved that she was up for anything. After driving around the sunflower field several times, we found the perfect spot and began shooting away, trying to avoid the hundreds of bees buzzing around us. In fact, I’m fairly certain that this first image was taken just after I told her that they were “more afraid of her than she was of them.” I just love how her personality shines through along with the cute little sunburst in the corner. This picture just makes me happy.

Allie–I have several more to edit–you are just gorgeous and see, I told you that you could rock the serious look. Fierce! I’m so glad to have you as a spokesmodel. I hope you had as much fun as I did at our shoot and that you love your images!

checklist | folsom senior portrait photographer

Wednesday, June 23, 2010 Posted in Uncategorized, graduates

Outgoing? Check.

Fun to be around? Check.

Enjoys being photographed? Check.

The camera loves her? Um…CHECK!

I am so lucky to have not only awesome, but absolutely gorgeous senior representatives. Lindsay is my spokesmodel for Folsom High School and we had so much fun trekking around Old Folsom for her session. If there was a checklist for spokesmodel requirements, Lindsay would fit them all. And I know that she’s been anxious for her sneak peek since I was on vacation all last week, so without further ado, here are her oh-so-stunning images. 
And here is something else that I am super excited to offer my seniors this year–custom slideshows featuring images and video taken during their session. I love this new product so much that I’ve decided to give the slideshow to all of my seniors who book by July 31st for FREE! Just a little way of saying, “Hey, thanks for choosing me as your photographer. I like you.” Your session doesn’t have to take place before the end of July, you just need to pay your deposit and get a session date on the calendar by then. These slideshows are great to play at graduation parties, to post on facebook, or to send to your relatives across the country. Whatever you use it for, it will be something totally unique and totally “you”.

dancer | folsom senior portrait photographer

Monday, May 31, 2010 Posted in Uncategorized, graduates

This session was so much fun! Think So You Think You Can Dance meets high school senior photoshoot. Although I honestly do enjoy every shoot, this one was just over the top, pure fun! When {L} and her mom contacted me to do {L’s} senior portraits and mentioned that she was a dancer I knew we would have a great time. {L} is so incredibly talented and it showed with every click of my camera. She was such a great sport–repeatedly jumping, twirling, and posing so I could capture all of her dance moves. And aside from being a beautiful dancer, she’s just gorgeous. Love those brown eyes!

{L}, I hope you love your sneak peek. Enjoy your final days as a high school senior and have a great graduation!

graduation | folsom senior photography

Tuesday, May 25, 2010 Posted in Uncategorized, graduates

I vividly remember all the craziness that was the last few weeks of senior year of high school. {M} is smack dab in the middle of it all right now–finishing up one journey and about to embark on another. I feel so privileged every time I am asked to document this time of life. And I couldn’t have asked for a more gorgeous model if I had hand picked her myself! {M} is just stunning and equally as fun to hang out with. I had a great time at our shoot at the capitol–I just love the blooming rose garden this time of year and think it complimented {M} and her style perfectly.

{M}, I hope you enjoy every minute left in your senior year! I’ll let you know as soon as your full gallery is up!
