Have a Senior Model Party!

So you're a Junior in high school, have a lot of friends, and love being in front of the camera.  Well do we ever have an opportunity for you!  Apply as a Senior Model on our website at www.asliceoflifeseniors.com (under "The 411" area) and if you're chosen, we'll do a free session with you and several of your friends.  Too good to be true?  Well as they say, there is no such thing as a free lunch.  But trust me, this is a deal that you wouldn't want to miss.

All we ask in return is that you bring along at least 3 of your friends and one parent to the viewing.  We supply munchies and the entertainment (a music slide show of the best images), and that's it.  It's a great way to introduce our services to your friends and family, and heck we always like entertaining people.

Make sure you note that you're interested in the group modeling session when you apply.  There are only a few openings available each year so this isn't open to everyone that applies.  Make sure you don't wait too long!

Time To Order Your Graduation Announcements!

Just a quick reminder that May is right around the corner and so is your child's graduation ceremony.  Don't wait until the last minute to order your graduation announcements, make an appointment soon with Heidi to customize an announcement that features some of the best images taken to send to family and friends.  Sure, the school offers generic cards that you need to spend extra money on for wallet inserts.  But for about the same money, you can create a one-of-a-kind card that you'll get compliments on for weeks!  You can see more design choices by visiting my website at www.asliceoflifeseniors.com and going to the RATES section.  Scroll down for a link to view "graduation announcement designs."

For more information or book an appointment, call Heidi at 760-739-9580.

Emily Earwicker - ECHS

Emily wanted to do a park session but didn't want to go to either Kit Carson or Lake Hodges.  Hey, isn't Grape Day a park too?  Of course it is!  What I love about Grape Day Park is that there is so much color and texture there for senior photographs.  And of course a little grass and trees too.  Emily picked out some nice clothing options to go with the scenery and as you can tell, she is a natural in front of the camera.

Nick Ontiveros - Escondido Charter High School

Funny story about Nick. I know his mom and grandparents through a friend, but that isn't what made Nick choose me as his senior portrait photographer. Although he was referred to me, he checked out other photographers' sites but liked how my work was different and more his style. I'm so glad he did, because I got some amazing shots of him both in studio and at Kit Carson Park & Grape Day Park. His easy-going personality and great big smile made him a truly photogenic senior. I'm sharing some of my favorite images from that day. Also notice the camera? Love that shot of Nick with his prized Canon! Of course anyone who shoots Canon is cool in my book.

Daniela Vitobaldi - Escondido Charter High School

Last week I spent an hour and a half at Kit Carson Park with Daniela and her mom. We walked around the park and found some great spots for my Walk In The Park session. Daniela has the most beautiful long hair and I had a lot of fun showing it off in many of the photographs. Her easygoing personality made for some casual photographs, as I try to capture each senior for who they are. Here are some of my favorites...

Tobi - Escondido Charter High School

On August 13th, I had the pleasure of photographing Tobi Peters and his many wonderful expressions. I had so much fun working with him in studio, at the Iceoplex, on the train tracks and then ending at Grape Day Park. Mom was pretty worried about the train tracks, but I assured her I would never put a senior in danger just to get a good photo.

There are just so many great photographs of Tobi that I really can't say I have one favorite. It was really cool being able to watch him skate on the ice. Wow, he's really good! When seniors call and let me know they are on a sports team, I can never just be happy taking a "studio" shot of them with their gear and uniform. I'm the type of photographer that just has to get out there and do it where it happens. Hey, I was on the track and tennis teams in high school so I know how important it is.

So where will I take my next victim, er I mean senior? Hmmm...I guess you'll need to check back soon or just become a follower and you'll get updates every time I post.

Nicole and Dana - San Pasqual High School

It was a hot July day, in fact the last day of July, 2009. I spent the afternoon with Nicole Amy and Dana Hill, seniors at San Pasqual High School, in Downtown Escondido and Grape Day Park. We had a lot of fun taking both fashion style "Trash the Prom Dress" photos as well as more traditional photos, ala Heidi (that's me!) Check out how great they turned out! I know both Nicole and Dana were a little shy at first, but boy did they turn into some awesome models!

Don't forget that August senior sessions include two free movie tickets and a $5 gift card to Cold Stone Creamery. It's a really hot month so why not enjoy it cooling off with some ice cream and then hanging out in a cool movie theater? Who could ask for more? Sessions are limited so don't wait too long or you might miss out.
