Class of 2020 | Placer High School Senior

This young man graduated from Placer High School in 2020, but like many others in the class of 2020, he never got the chance to don his cap and gown and receive his diploma in a graduation ceremony.

Luckily, his mom realized the importance of documenting him in his cap and gown. In January 2021, Collin and I met up at Placer High School. Have you been to Placer High School in Auburn? The PHS campus is so old (it was founded in 1897!) and awesome. I especially love the Spanish architecture there!

I took photos of Collin in his graduation garb as well as some in his everyday attire.

I love to play with artistic angles and crops when photographing high school seniors.

Which version do you prefer - color or black and white? I think I’m in the black and white camp!

I adore shooting on stairs - and the windows on top are so pretty! And then there’s this tie-dye jacket that Colllin adores. Tie-dye is so popular right now!

Senior sessions are really, really fun for me! I love being able to capture a young man or woman’s personality and interests through the use of setting, clothing, and props.

Do you know someone in the area (Placer County/Nevada County/Sacramento County) who is graduating this year or in 2022? Send them my way!
