HANNAH 2012 | sacramento senior pictures

During Hannah’s design consult-call, she told me she had a “few” props she wanted to bring to her photo session. Of course I was thrilled because I love it when seniors bring props that express who they are and what they love. But I was beyond amazed when her mom led me to their truck: in the bed of the truck was an amazing array of vintage chairs, stools and a fabulous antique barrel. I was in photography-heaven!

What made these props more special was the fact that they were from her granpa’s ranch—he recently passed away so there’s a lot of memories and emotion tied to each prop we used, especially the genuine cowhide chair we set in a nearby field.

I loved this photo session—Hannah is beyond gorgeous inside and out and I feld like I knew her mom forever by the end of the session! It was a fabulous day. Here are a few of our favorites with so many many more to share with Hannah and her family soon.

Makeup by Sara for the STYLE SESSION:

TAYLER 2012 | sacramento senior pictures

FASHION-ista! That’s how I would describe Tayler. Her senior session was planned down to the very last detail and she applied her great sense of fashion to the clothing selection and accessories. And it’s always great when you’re having a “good hair day” on photo-session day, but I’m convinced Tayler doesn’t know what the opposite of that is! Everything was perfect on shoot-day!

Cheerleading has been a big part of her life, so integrating images that reflect that part of her life into her session was important. She brought it all including the massive megaphone and well-deserved cheer-trophies! And who can resist pom-poms—had to capture those.

This time of year is fabulous for photography—the colors are magnificent and when Tayler wore her red dress to a nearby field area, the trees “popped” as a background element that I couldn’t resist. Here are a few of my personal favorites from her session—though it was hard to choose!

TAYLOR 2012 | sacramento senior pictures

Taylor’s session was absolutely awesome—her style really shone through! She chose our STYLE SESSION with Sara Willilams which includes makeup and styling with extra clothing choices for a true “fashion/pamper” experience. Sara goes righit out on location with us and the girls love it.

Taylor had a great variety of styles for her day: favorite jeans with coordinating tops with texture and colors, both dressed up and dressed down; a variety of fabulous hats, boots, and accessories; a gorgeous glam dress. She wore them all well and to top it off, her smile and eyes were gorgeous. I always look for the “person within” through the eyes…they’re the the window to the soul as they say!

It was a glorious day weather-wise and Taylor was so great to work with. Here are just a few of my favorites from her session—hard to choose!

Meet Taylor, class of 2012:

MELISSA 2012 | sacramento senior photographers

My recent senior session with Melissa was again on a perfect weather day…set in a quaint little area of Sacramento with lots of colors, textures, cobblestone and weathered-wood (shabby-chic or vintage—however you want to look at it weathered wood is great for texture in photography!).

Melissa is fun and energetic and has the most “upbeat” personality. She’s always happy and smiling whenever I see her—and her smile is very contagious and very photogenic! Not to mention her beautiful eyes…the camera loves her!  She wore her favorite boots—they bring style to anything she wears. I loved her dress she chose for her session too.  

She’ll be taking the world by storm in just a few short months…as a grad of the class of 2012! Here are a few of our favorites from her session—lots more to share with her and her family soon!

MICHELE 2012 | sacramento senior pictures

Winter is upon us, but we’ve had some fabulous weather here in sunny Norther Cali! Our senior sessions are shot on-location, so while sunny days are not a requirement (photographers prefer a bit of cloud-cover to diffuse the sun anyway), they sure have been plentiful in this part of the country! The day of Michele’s session was no different—perfect weather for a perfect senior portrait session in downtown Sacramento!

Michele chose the quaint area of Oldtown Sacramento—an awesome setting for senior portraits. I loved her clothing choices—lots of style, color and texture with great accessories. Her eyes are GORGEOUS—you’ll see for yourself in the images we selected for her sneak peek! These are only 3 of so many more for her to see soon.

Meet…Michele…CLASS OF 2012!

Madison 2012 | sacramento senior pictures

Madison’s photo session was set in an amazing location—right next door to her home! Her neighbor’s property is a beautiful setting full of everything photogenic: a vineyard, a cascase of ivy surrounding the home, a gorgeous pond, a country feel.  Of course, Madison herself is as stylish as can be—and she the perfect outfits to compliment her coloring and her personal style.

This was a perfect day weather-wise and we had a great time. Madison’s family has a few vintage bicycles—it was just a matter of choosing a color for the particular outfit she was wearing! And did I mention that she is amazingly photogenic? I know I didn’t have to—you can simply see for yourself when viewing some of the favorites we chose from her session below.

Alex 2012 | sacramento senior photographers

When I met with Alex and her mom I instantly knew Alex had style! We talked about various things she wanted in her session and when the day arrived to photograph her, I was so inspired by her outfits and choices of accessories for the photo-shoot!

Alex chose a fabulous variety of outfits, from casual to dressy and everything in between. She brought several hats to choose from and I adored her lacy-vintage dress. I loved the over-sized scarf—mom thought of bringing it to work it in for color—I love it when clients come with extra items as props for the senior photo sessions!

She chose the STYLE SESSION with makeup and styling by Sara Williams. Her hair was gorgeous (she has NATURAL curls that any girl would love). Capturing golden streams of light through those curls was my goal from the moment I met her!

This was an artistically-inspiring session for me—loved every minute of it! Here are a few favorites:
