PROMO SHOOT—Video Soon!

March 8, 2010 – 1:37 pm

We recently did a “promo shoot” for a video project that is in the works and in final editing—to be released soon! We’re excited to release it on our websites including our Facebook Senior Fan Page in the very near future!

For this shoot we invited Brook and Alexis (twin sisters, class of 2010) as our models. We had photographed them earlier in the year for their senior portraits using ther GORGEOUS Granite Bay home property as the setting, so thought it would be fun to get them out in the “on-location” setting which was an urban-grunge-alley-way area, using Sara Williams for makeup.

It was so much FUN…great weather, awesome lighting and the perfect models. Shaun Boyte is busy behind the scenes as we speak doing the post work on the video, mixing in some stills. The video will be used to show how much fun our Senior Style Session is for our seniors!

Watch for it soon—in the meantime, a few teaser photos from the shoot. MORE to come when the video is released.

TEAGAN: 2010

February 23, 2010 – 10:54 am

A sneak-peek for Teagan!

This senior was so much fun to work with—GREAT personality, super sweet, great style. The weather was perfect…it’s been rainy off-and-on this month but the clouds cleared away just for Teagan’s senior portrait day!

While on-location, it’s not uncommon for everyone around us to take notice of the pretty girl be photographed and to think she is a model-for-a-day. This day was no different, and we had an older man come up and offer to let Teagan use his classic T-Bird in a few shots! Of course we jumped on it…he even said “get in for a few shots if you’d like”! I’m including a few of those shots for Teagan’s sneak peek.

Thanks for a great day Teagan—so many more to share with you and your family soon!!!!

FORD MODEL: Adorable Serra

February 17, 2010 – 1:08 am

We love working with our Ford Model referrals: they are adorable and oh-so-fun! Little Miss Serra is already an experienced model at age 5: she is currently the Downy Girl (seen on the Downy Bottles accross the nation) and was the cover of the Family Fun Magazine in December/January 2010! When I met her, I could see why: she is so stinkin’ cute and photogenic!

Tori was with me on this session and did a fabulous job with reflective lighting…our little client was perfectly willing to go anywhere we wanted including a few alley-ways, stairwells and nearby city-monuments! Mom was great—she stood off to the side just letting us work with Serra without parental direction. This is SO important when working with children because as we parents all know, our kids usually show their best behavior when mom and dad are not around, LOL!

Here are some of my favorites from Serra’s session. I’m sure she will be seen in major print ads soon—Downy and Family Fun Mag are just the beginning for this cute girl!

VERONICA: CLASS OF 2009

February 12, 2010 – 6:03 pm

A very fun session with a super fun girl—as soon as we got started on this session, we realized the train museum was actually open to the public and it was an incredible opportunity to create some fun unique images with lots of textures! We took advantage of the variety and the available lighting was awesome—Tori was along and did a great job with the reflector.

Veronica chose great clothes and she has a love for colorful scarves—which I loved too! Colorful accessories and completely change the look and add simple variety.

So here she is…meet VERONICA:

Hey Teri..

Your senior work is phenomenal!! Love this session!! Great work as usual!!!

Little People…Big Hearts.

Meet Mar and Kelani—two adorable kids that are as comfortable in front of a camera as they are in a playground. This session was actually for mom—we created images for her business portfolio and she brought the kids along to include in a few photos with her. But while mommy was getting her makeup done, Mar and Kelani and Teri went out in the back alley for a “play date”…no posing…just hanging out while mommy was busy getting ready for pictures.

This session was SO much fun…the kids were completely at home in my favorite “studio” and we laughed, walked, played, talked. Oh, and just for kicks we took a few photos. Lighting was tricky because I didn’t have a reflector with me…so it was all about finding the right light and capturing a few moments of personality.

So here are those few moments…

BABY CHARLIE-sacramento newborn photographers

January 31, 2010 – 11:15 am

MEET CHARLIE!

He’s adorable—and super cuddly! The day I photographed Charlie he was perfectly sleepy and mom and dad were perfectly in love with him…he had only been home from the hospital for a few days. The home was super warm just for little Charlie—never mind that the rest of us were sweating bullets—little Charlie was snug as a bug in a rug! Which made it all worth it!

Photographing newborns makes me smile—and almost want another baby! But I get my fix during the time that I spend with them and then I’m all better LOL! I always have a special basket in tow…this day was no different.

So without further delay…here’s CHARLIE:
