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!

Ariana Owens - Escondido High School

I recently purchased a few new props for my senior portrait studio sessions and was thrilled to use the new chandelier with Ariana Owens.  Ariana loved my secret garden that I use typically for children's portraits so after our studio session we headed outside.  We came up with a lot of great images and I really had fun taking her photos.  She's a natural model so she didn't need a lot of help with posing.  Enjoy her slideshow!

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.

Free Animoto Slide Show for Feb/March Sessions!

Well Spring is right around the corner and the phone is starting to ring for senior sessions again. So after keeping things on the backburner these last few months, I decided it was time to offer a new special to the high school seniors out there. After careful thinking, I decided to give away a FREE Animoto slide show to each session that books between now and March 31st. These slide shows will feature the best images from each session and can be posted on your Facebook or MySpace sites. And from each image that is ordered, I will give you a low res file to use on your phone, blog, networking sites, etc. How fun is that? For a preview of what an Animoto slide show is, click below:

Dylan Douglas - Classical Academy High School

How much fun is it to take senior photographs with your super cool car? That's what Dylan Douglas decided to do. We will be doing another session soon with his dirt bike wearing full gear so that will be another blog entry.

Dylan chose to do a "Hollywood Glamour" session, which is studio session utilizing a large reflector and direct crisp lighting. It's basically the style from the 40's, and as the saying goes, what's old is new again. A lot of my senior clients are liking this style, especially since I'm the only photographer in town offering it. After the studio session, we drove over to Grape Day Park for his outdoor photographs and were able to get some really terrific shots that showed off Dylan's great smile and blue eyes. I'm sure Dylan has plenty of girls chasing after him with his good looks and cool car.

I've compiled some of my favorite photographs from the day. Just remember, if you want to personalize your session like Dylan did, let me know what you love and what your hobbies are. Your senior photographs should be more than just a smile looking into the camera, they should be memories of who you are at this important time of your life.
