Lithia Park-Grants Pass senior session

Korlee contacted me back in September to take Cody’s senior pics. She and Cody used to live in Humboldt, where I reside. I was Cody’s 6th grade teacher, and Korlee also worked at the school. I remember getting the nicest gift from her at the end of the year. She gave me a gift certificate […]

A senior skateboard sunset shoot in Shellter Cove

Austin is the son of one of my co-workers at Redway Elementary. We decided to do his senior session over Thanksgiving break when we had more time. We ended up with a gorgeous day, with beautiful sunshine. The only hitch was that a storm was coming the next day, so it was very windy. We […]

Fun Filled Fortuna Rodeo Carnival Senior Session

senior river session in Benbow

Taryn is one of my 2020 senior reps. Not only is she at the top of her class at Fortuna High School, she is also super sweet. We traveled down to one of my favorite river locations in Southern Humboldt and shot some beautiful shots in the sunshine. The river is always nice and warm […]

Senior Summer Sessions

Golden light senior session in Humboldt County

Vianney and I met in Southern Humboldt for her senior session. There are a couple of different reasons that I love to shoot in the southern end of Humboldt County. 1. The weather is almost always nicer than it is northern Humboldt. 2. I know of many great locations, all within a small radius of […]

High school is almost like a full time job really.  You arrive by 8 am Monday Friday and spend your day learning and discussing details on new topics and discovering solutions to problems you may or may not have known existed.  The demands of the classroom can be overwhelming at times with daily in class […]

How to feel confident in front of the camera

As a professional photographer, I often get asked for advice on how to feel confident and comfortable in front of a camera.  This has also been something I have struggled with in the past and has taken me awhile to feel happy with someone taking photos of me.  I mean, we all agree its awkward […]

Parents tips for making it through senior year

The time is here, the official countdown. Six months out, from a soon to be empty nest.  Your first thought and temptation is to spend the year in a sad state of mind, thinking about all of the lasts you will be experiencing.  The last first day of school, the last varsity game, the last […]
