Senior Summer Sessions   The sun is beaming bright and temperatures are rising, summer is here and it is HOT!   This time of year often makes me feel like I am shooting in a sauna every summer when I head to an outdoor photography session with my high school senior clients.  Even on those […]

With your junior year now behind you and summer in full swing, it’s time to start thinking about your last year of high school and when is the best time to book your senior photo shoot!  Your senior year will be full of unforgettable moments and special occasions, including your senior pictures.  From final football […]

It’s senior Sunday and this week I am sharing these beautiful lupine sessions. Parky’s Pics senior reps get extra sessions in addition to their regular full portrait session. Normally we do a carnival session in the summer, but since the carnival was canceled, this year due to covid-19, we did lupine sessions instead. It was […]

One of my favorite ways to spend my spring and summer evenings is shooting river sessions. These can be challenging as the light can be harsh in some spots, and it limits poses, and direction, but a good challenge is always nice.

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 […]

I was SOOOOOOO excited when Avarys mom contacted me about shooting Avarys senior portraits.

I traveled to Freshwater where we started at a beautiful property with an amazing creek in the back. We […]

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 […]

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 […]

Alyssa, her mom and myself met at the Eureka High softball field and had fun creating some memories together. We got a great combination of some more natural poses as well as some more dramatic off […]
