I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE when I’m granted full creative control over my sessions! Am I a control freak? NO! I just like to explore ALL of my options & surroundings…’cause I KNOW you’re going to love your images if I do. Oops! That sounded quiet confident, if you ask me! Well, there is a lot of truth to that statement. You see, I come across some REALLY great locations. And when I combine those locations with the cooky ideas I have bouncing around in my brain…POOF, magic! Not everyone is meant for every idea. You have to match. Anyway…

Katelyn wasn’t sure what she wanted to do, or where she wanted to go for her session. So, off we went! Her job? Bring lots of clothes & a buddy to laugh with! We frolicked all around Exeter & Woodlake and found some old & new favorites! Here’s a few images I love…

Hallie

Hallie was so much fun! And adventurous, too! If you would have told me I’d be climbing a mountain by the end of the session, I wouldn’t have believed you! Well, the climbing was my choice, over the scary Mule driving Hallie was doing. I had no idea they could drive on such steep terrain! Hallie, you’re a crazy woman, about to be unleashed on the world…and, I’m glad to be a part of that world! Go get’em girl!

Here’s a few of my favorites!

I always insist on bringing your closest friend to my sessions! It’s so important that you have fun and be yourself!

Joey

The Galante Family name has a lot of history to it. I went to high school with a few of them, who were heavily into racing with Dad. Over the years we pass down certain traits and activities to our kids. Some we want them to love & appreciate, others we’d prefer they loose as often as their lunch money. Now that we are all adults, with mortgages and families, some of our kids are getting to the High School stage themselves. Joey’s the first of three brothers to reach this milestone. He’s always tinkering with something in the ‘shop’, and wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. Once I layed eyes on it, I knew it was the perfect place to capture him, being him.

Here’s just a few favorites!

Miss Katie

I just cannot describe how much a love the Fry Family. Yep, almost enough to eat ‘em up! Pun intended. When asked to shoot Miss Katie Fry’s Senior Session I was so excited! I had lots of ideas RUNNING through my head. The obvious choice was to shoot Katie running cross-country, since that’s where she spends most of her time. She was recently chosen as Tulare County’s Athlete of the Year, after four brutal years of beating & holding many records. In addition to all that she’s accomplished, she is one of the most admirable humans I’ve met. She’s always first to smile, first to laugh, and first to hug. She’s a remarkable young lady.

Here are just a few of my favorites from the day.

Thank you, Katie, for sharing your afternoon with me! I had a great time frolicking in the foothills with you!

Zandra

Monday Zandra & I went out to shoot her much anticipated Senior Session. And, yep, this girl is graduating THIS year! We waited ’till the last minute for a very important reason. You see, after many years of orthodontic care Zandra was finally was free! The braces were removed, and taking her Senior Pictures was at the top of her to-do list. The closer the time got to her appointment, the closer a storm cloud rolled into the area. We managed to outsmart it, while getting some great shots!

Here are just a few of my favorites…

Zandra, thanks for sharing your Senior experience with me! I wish you lots great memories over your next year in Denmark, and many years after!

Daniel

Oh my gosh! How lucky am I??? Daniel & Mom-Debbie came to me, searching for a photographer to capture his Senior Session. We shot it yesterday, and had the best time! Daniel happily brought along his long-boards to show a little peek at who he really is! I love it when my clients bring props! It helps warm-up to being photographed when you’ve got toys to play with. Anyway, Daniel is great guy, fun to be around and has fantastic goals! What more could you ask for? Oh, and he happens to be SO adorable!

Here’s just a FEW of my favorites! It was SO hard to pick!

Chris

admin — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 06:17:54 +0000

I had SO much fun today! I spent the afternoon hiking around in pink rubber boots, while being serenaded! Combine that with an amazing location and a fun new friend – and Whoa-Lah! Success! Well, that’s what we hope for anyway!

Today, Chris and I set out to capture his Senior Session. He’s graduating from Exeter Union High School, and he feels like the King of the World! You see, he’s been blessed with the amazing gift of musical talent and the Woman of his Dreams! What more does he need!?! Chris is pursuing a musical career, and plans to use some of the images for the new album he’s created. I was lucky enough to preview one of the songs he’s composed for someone special in his life, and I have to say it’s magical!

Here’s a few of my favorites from the day…

Danika

admin — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 05:52:52 +0000

It all started about five years ago. WOW, it’s been five years! We didn’t know it yet, but our new neighborhood would change our lives. Unsure of how we stood, we gradually hypnotized our next-door neighbors to fall deeply in love with us. And, today, I stand confident in our success. We gladly shout sarcasm and love over the fences & through the windows. I wouldn’t have it any other way. They are a part of us, as we are them.

Danika is the oldest of two. She’s the Big Sis in not only her family, but ours as well. There’s something magical between her and our Peanut. It’s adorable! I’ve been going on & on & on & on about photographing her, for years now. In fact, I think it was every time she came home from college (which is frequently, but not often enough!) I was honored to shoot Little Sis Kara as she graduated from Central Valley Christian two years ago, but missed Danika.

That’s all changed now! Danika was home for her last Spring Break as a College Student. I suggested that we shoot some to document this time in her life. She was hesitant at first, but eventually worked up the bravery. She clearly didn’t know what she was getting into (or maybe she did!) She’s an amazing woman, who’s not afraid to listen to her head or follow her heart.

Here are just a few of my favorites…

Lacie

admin — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 04:23:52 +0000

So, if this face looks familiar, you’re absolutely right! I shot the first leg of Lacie’s Senior Sesh’ in November, at Shaver Lake. I guess she loved the whole process SO much, she just had to do it again! The difference this time was Lacie’s boyfriend, Adam, joined us! They were so cute together, I just had to post a few teasers…
