Dreaming about the things that could be.

Photographing high school seniors is like standing on the precipice of the world.  I don't even know if that makes sense, I just know that when I'm photographing them, the feeling of the world being wide open for the taking is just palatable.  

Last week, photographing this young woman, with her infectious giggle and beautiful smile, made me think about all the things that could be.  Sophie, you've got this!



Want to see more senior sessions?  Here, here and here.


Are you a high school senior standing on the edge of the world? Let's create images that really show who you are--there's only a few weeks left!  Talk to you soon!

Own every second.

"Hoping you take that jump
But don't fear the fall
Hope when the water rises
You built a wall
Hoping the crowd screams out
Screaming your name
Hope if everybody runs
You choose to stay"


"I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second
That this world could give
I saw so many places
And things that I did girl
With every broken bone
I swear I lived"


One Republic


Honestly, I'm a little speechless--but as I was editing, One Republic's I Lived came on and the words just fit.  I've only scratched the surface of Carly's senior portraits and I can't believe all the gorgeous-ness of her.   

There are great things in store for you Carly--own every second.

Featuring: Senior portraits!

With the holidays behind us, it's time to think about your Senior portraits.

It's funny, while Senior portraits have changed a bit from when I was in high school, I think back to the studio that I worked for when I WAS a senior and realize now just how cutting edge we were.  We were the preferred senior portrait photographer, because instead of shooting with a traditional in studio backdrop, we shot in our own gorgeous back lot, filled with long flowing grass, trees and even a wagon wheel.  Being in Southern California meant that we often went on location to the beach (which was almost within walking distance) or a park filled with pine trees just down the way.

Nowadays, it's de rigueur of course to shoot outside, (minus the wagon wheel!) especially here in the West, but even in the East--in the snow!  And I find a brainstorming session with my senior clients on new locations and ideas for their sessions some of the coolest consultations around.  We talk about everything they need to think about to prepare for the session--from a to z!

Whatever your thing--hockey, water polo, dance, swimming, theatre--whatever you feel like--jumping in the pool with your tie on, wearing your letter jacket, being gorgeous on a gorgeous beach--let's find just the perfect location and ideas to compliment who YOU are so you can ROCK YOUR senior portrait!

Give me a call and we can start brainstorming!
