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:

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…

Maddie is a HORSE LOVER and I LOVED photographing her with Kallie! Truth is, I’m also a horse-lover and grew up with horses in Montana. One of my FAVORITE sessions is photographing senior pictures with horses.

Maddie does barrel-racing and has been doing it for years. It’s her heart and her passion and capturing this side of her was ever-important when creating her senior images. We started at her home (yes—we are known for location photo session even at your own property!) and ventured to the stables where Kallie is boarded.

Maddie’s parents ordered a large canvas-wrap of the black and white image—they were specifically wanting a very “artsy” image with her horse. I shot this with that in mind.

Here are some favorites from her senior photo shoot in Loomis:
