How to feel confident in front of the camera

I was so excited When Cassidy asked me to take Codys senior portraits. He was a student of mine when I was teaching PE at South Fork High School. He was always very respectful and polite, and was also an awesome three sport athlete. I love being able to reconnect with students and see where […]

Cody’s Benbow Inn Senior Session

Its Senior Sunday! I am busy shooting four senior boys this weekend, but wanted to share a session from a few weeks ago from Parkys Pics senior rep Shelby. We met in the Southern Humboldt area, and Shelby was looking for a more rustic look. I think we achieved that goal! : )

What to wear for your Humboldt County Senior Session

Senior Shoots are one of my most favorite types of shoots, but I shot quite a few 8th grade sessions this year and I loved them too. Miss Saige was the first one in the middle of May. We met in Southern Humboldt at Tooby Park and found some great spots to shoot. I had […]

Senior sessions are my favorites! I had the special privilege to shoot these awesome senior boys this 2017 school year. They attended schools as far south as South Fork High School, all the way to St. Bernard’s Catholic School, with a few Fortuna High and Ferndale guys sprinkled in. A few of them made the […]
