Athena Miranda - San Pasqual High School Senior Model

I am proud to announce the first Senior Model from San Pasqual High School, and it's Athena Miranda!  A Junior at SPHS, Athena was a pleasure to photograph and we decided to go to Downtown Escondido for a session with her and her friends, Jacky and Josue.  As a Senior Model, you receive a free session and music slide show plus cards to hand out to other Juniors with your photo.  These cards entitle friends to receive 8 free wallets with any paid senior session!  For referring her friends, Athena will earn free photographs and will automatically be entered to win a $100 VISA Gift Card if she is the top referring Model.

Here is a look at some of her favorite shots from that day.  If you like what you see, call us an book an appointment for your Senior Session.  Remember, your school may have gone contract for the yearbook photograph, but you can have your yearbook photo taken for free and it's your choice on who to pick for your creative session.  Since we aren't stuck rushing through hundreds of senior portrait sessions every year, we are able to give you the time and personal service to truly capture your personality.  But don't wait, we only book a certain number of sessions every year.

Brett McBride - San Pasqual High School

When Brett pulled up in his hot BMW, I knew we needed to head over to my favorite alley and get some great shots of him with it.  Oh, and if you haven't read the senior profile on Mikaela down below, this is the same guy who has a Swedish foreign exchange student living with him.  Not shabby, huh?

I've met Brett and his family before since I was his older sister's wedding photographer last year.  The whole family is really nice and as I really hope for, I become a family photographer for life.  Not many guys really enjoy the whole senior portrait thing, but I try to make it a lot of fun and fun is what we had.  Brett booked my popular Downtown Session, and we drove around hitting a couple of my favorite spots as well as ending at Grape Day Park.  He was well prepared too with his rugby gear so we could get a couple of photos of that.  I'm really big on school activities, hobbies, and interests.  I like to make sure I'm capturing a senior's personality and what they are into.

Well Brett, I think you got some amazing shots!  Your whole family is really good looking, so was there any question that your photographs would be anything but fab?  I hope you had as much fun as I did.

Mikaela Giertta - San Pasqual High School

So I was having so much fun photographing Mikaela the other day.  I mentioned to her how closely she resembles Super Model Christie Brinkley, and I'm not sure if it's because Mikaela is an exchange student from Sweden or if it's because of my age, but she didn't know who Christie Brinkley is!  Ouch!  So for those of you who are just too young to remember her (and I even remember Super Model Cheryl Tiegs), go ahead and google her.  Then you tell me what you think, is Mikaela the next Christie Brinkley?

Mikaela decided to book the Downtown Session.  We started off on Grand Avenue and made our way to Grape Day Park.  I have some of my favorite spots but this time I came with a secret weapon, my collection of brightly colored paper parasols!  I chose the turquoise blue one for her and we had fun using it as a prop.  And yes ladies, you too can have fun photos taken with a parasol.  The colors I have in stock right now are Bright Fuschia Pink, Mango Orange, Turquoise Blue, Bright Grass Green and Off White.  I'll be stocking up on more colors soon.  Let me know if you have any suggestions for colors.

Mikaela is living with the McBride Family here in Escondido.  She will be returning to Sweden this summer and we will miss her a lot.  I designed a beautiful album with her images and even had "Import of Sweden" put on one of the pages.  You'll have to stop by my home studio to see it, it's incredible!
