2013 SENIOR | DEL ORO HIGH SCHOOL

STYLING & PHOTOGRAPHY | TERI FODE PHOTOGRAPHY

MAKE UP | SARA WILLIAMS

SESSION TYPE  | STYLE SESSION

Amanda was a-m-a-z-i-n-g to photograph! At her design-consultation in the studio we talked about her style and what she had in mind—she and her mom Deborah came with lots of  ideas and I knew from that meeting that this was going to be a fun senior photo shoot!

She brought a variety of looks and outfits that ranged from classy to edgy. She wanted to show her true style and personality and her clothing choices reflected that well—from a lacy black dress to her head-band with cut-off shorts and army boots. She chose the “STYLE SESSION” which is our extended session for senior pictures that includes make-up, unlimited clothing changes and a choice of many locations in and around the Sacramento area including Folsom, El Dorado Hills, Rocklin, and even up into the Auburn area. We offer our studio for the make-up session for extra fun and comfort and then we venture to outer areas.

Sara did a fabulous job on her make-up and we started with some classic shots in the studio with a bit of style added for fun. Then off to the outdoors and a nearby historic town for some country looks with an edgy twist.

Amanda will be graduating in a few short weeks—off the big wide world she goes! Congrats to her and all of the seniors (including my son) who are antsy to receive that piece of paper that we call a…diploma.

Favorites? Lots. Here are the ones at the top of my list:

KENDALL—oh KENDALL! I first met Kendall when I photographed her gorgeous older sister Bryce 2 years ago. How time flies…now Kendall is just DAYS away from graduating! In fact…just next week!

She was a 2013 Spokesmodel for Teri Fode Seniors…and we loved her images from that session so much that we used them everywhere for the 2013 senior year (which is what we DO with our spokesmodel images anyway, of course!). The well-known “tangerine-flower” image that has been talked about by so many clients starred, you guessed it, KENDALL.

Her official senior session created some equally amazing images because Kendall is simply a fashionista at heart! Not only that, but her mom is quite the inspiration for her girls when it comes to style. Putting together some amazing outfits was not difficult when fashion runs in their blood!

Here are some favorites…and of course a reposting of our favorite model images of Kendall.

I met with Allie and her mom for a design consultation and we planned a session that would incorporate her style and a bit of a ”country” feel. They both left excited for the photo shoot but I don’t think they could possibly have been as excited as I was—Allie has amazing style and I knew she would be so amazing to photograph!

We were delayed by rain but everything happens for a reason because the day of the actual photo session was perfect! Senior pictures last a life-time so I always tell my clients that a week or two because of rain is always worth it in the end. I was happy to see that Allie’s sister was able to come with her—they’re super close (as sisters should be!) and she was a great support and friend for the fun day ahead.

Allie’s senior photos landed on the same weekend as her senior ball so it was an exciting and eventful weekend full of girlie prepping—hair, make-up,  nails and lots of fashion-fun! I loved photographing her (and mom and sister too for a few!)…here are just a few of my favorites from the day:

I loved photographing Krystle! She’s adorable and full of LIFE! I think she smiled the entire time we were together. Smiled and LAUGHED!

She definitely knows what colors are most flattering on her and she had some adorable accessories for her senior pictures. Mom loved the few that we took with her cap and gown…and the images we took of Krystle and Christina—her sister whom I photographed in 2011! Christina and Krystle are 2 sisters that glow evidenced by the image below. I loved “vintage red lips” they wore!

It was also “girlfriend time”…Krystle invited 2 of her besties for the photo shoot.

Graduation is just around the corner and Krystle will be walking on stage to receive her diploma! Here are a few favorites from her sacramento senior pictures:

This photo session was an absolute joy. I had so much fun with Sarah and her mom Cheri. We laughed so much…they are both just plain HAPPY people and it pours through in everything they do including a senior photo shoot! I first met Sarah’s mom at a senior consultation in the studio and I knew from the moment I met her that this was going to be a fabulous day. When I later met Sarah it confirmed everything her mom told me about her (imagine that!) and I couldn’t wait to get started with her senior pictures.

Sarah has style and is a classy young woman. Photographing her was fun…and easy. She brought 4 main outfits and had some great accessories including a very special pair of boots that dad had repaired after a very scary car accident she had been in recently. Her first outfit was an amazing dress with a simple tulle skirt that I loved combined with a pair of cowboy boots.

We started at the studio both indoors and out and then vetured out to nearby locations that were amazing near sunset. Narrowing down favorites was not easy…but here they are, my favorites from the day.

Meet Sarah…
