Every year we venture out to take the annual Christmas Card picture; many times I feel thankful if I get one good one; so I was really pleased with what I got this year. As the kids get older it becomes easier. Nicole is the natural poser so the challenge is to get her not to bring out her inner Tyra; and Ross well anyone who knows Ross knows that 10 year old boys are 10 year old boys. I did get some georgeous shots of both the kids, so I am a happy Mom :)
Rigo was great... I thoroughly enjoyed taking his Senior Portraits. We decided to go to Windsor and utilize all the beautiful trees and the vineyard. Rigo has the most natural smile; and I think we got some great images. We even managed to get in a little family picture with Mom and Dad... they were cute too. :)
The Beeler Family was tons of fun; Mason and Davis kept me on my toes. I had forgotten how much energy two little boys can have. My favorite thing about family sessions is thinking about the session album. I am happy with the Beeler's album, it is a little different than some of my recent ones. Here is an example of a few spreads from the book; and of course a slideshow.
I was so excited to have been selected to capture Lisa and Ryan's Wedding Day. The beautiful Monterey Plaza Hotel was the location, the weather was beautiful with a bright blue sky and the beautiful Pacific Ocean as a frame for this beautiful couple. It is obvious Ryan and Lisa are crazy about each other; they look so happy,it was contageous.
Nichanh Peterson came down to shoot with me and we had a great time; I would work with her anytime; any place; she is easy, fun and she has great ideas.
Thank you Ryan and Lisa for including me in your special day; your family and friends were warm and as inviting as you two; my hope is that you love your images and look back on your special day with fondness and warm memories.
Crystal and I met up at Spring Lake for her Senior Portraits; as luck would have it we had the last nice day before the storm came in. The early fall sun was beautiful and we took advantage of it. Crystal has the prettiest brown eyes; and my goal was to show them off and see them sparkle. I have had so many wonderful seniors this season; they are always so willing to try anything; and Crystal was no exception; she brought her cheer gear; her softball gear and her volleyball gear; apparently she is a very busy girl. I hope she likes her picture.
Erin invited her friends Melinda and Nicole to join her for her senior portraits. I had a great time with the girls getting them to bring out their inner "America's Next Top Model" it took a little bit of coaxing but I think they got into it. I hope Erin loves her images... I am a little behind in editing so I hope these were worth the wait..
Caly chose the Santa Rosa Country Club for the backdrop to her senior portraits. What a beautiful location, her mom Pedy drove us around on a golf cart; I need to get me one of those btw; and we shot all over the greens. I have never been golfing in my life so I was amazed at every turn, I could not believe how awesome the grass was. Mom watched for wayward balls as we combed the course for locations. I love photography and I really enjoy photographing seniors; more often than not I am giddy with a great shot; but when I started proofing this set I was amazed. I couldn't miss, Caly can smile on cue... she never blinks and her beautiful eyes were crisp and clear and in perfect focus. Caly thank you for picking me to do your senior pictures...
