Amor, Santino & Hannah
Amor, a longtime friend and fellow choir member from my old church, contacted me requesting that I take photographs of her son and his girlfriend at Folsom Lake.
As you'll see, I took a lot of photos of the couple, but I also snapped a few of mom and son together.
In addition, I took a handful of individual shots of Santino who will be a senior at Casa Roble High School (go Rams!) in the fall. Hello head shot for the yearbook!
Mom brought along two props (a pillow and football), which we used during their session.
As I do before all sessions, I emailed a questionnaire to the family, and Santino filled it out. One of the things Santino mentioned in the questionnaire is that he loves his girlfriend's smile. With that in mind, I focused on capturing as many of her grins as possible.
Enjoy the rest of the summer, Taylor family. Hope to see Santino play football in the fall!
Senior Photo Session | Jessie
I've known Jessie since she was a baby, and so getting the opportunity to take senior photos of her was such an honor and pleasure.
Jessie is such a fun-loving, sweet, funny, respectful, musical, and intelligent young woman with a super bright future ahead of her. (Kudos to her parents who have done an amazing job raising her!)
Fun fact: Jessie taught herself to play the ukulele by watching YouTube videos.
Before each senior session, I email a questionnaire to the teen, asking them for input about their session -- everything from location to music preferences to must-have shots. Jessie said that it was really important to her to have a few photos with her dog, Oliver.
And Jessie also requested that I take photos of her wearing her Seattle University shirt.
Jessie's mom brought along a few photos of Jessie as a baby. Isn't this one adorable?!
Old Roseville is such a cool place to take senior photos, especially for those clients who prefer an urban setting. All of the images shown here were taken within a few blocks, and we just walked from place to place.
I was totally digging this blue wall!
I love that Jessie brought matching bow ties for her and Oliver!
Jessie and I both spotted the shadow of the palm tree on this wall at. the. exact. same. time. I thought it was important to photograph her next to this wall, not only because she was born and raised in California, but also because in just a few months, she'll leave the palm trees behind and head to Seattle to study engineering.
A big thanks to Lea Buehler for doing Jessie's makeup!
