Trash The Prom Dress Session Now Available!

Now that school is almost out, have you thought of any new fun things to do?  From now until June 30th, A Slice of Life Photography is scheduling Trash The Prom Dress Sessions for groups of 3 or more.  Sessions will take place Tuesday through Thursday and the session cost is only $50 per person with $30 of that money going towards prints.  Wow, that's only $20 per person for the session!  Print prices are located on my website at www.asliceoflifeseniors.com.

So IM your friends and give us a call.  There are only a limited number of sessions available, so don't wait too long.  And don't worry, we really won't trash your dress --  maybe get it a little dirty but isn't that what dry cleaners are for?  And hey, isn't fun to have another reason to wear your prom dress again?

Jacey Corley - San Pasqual High School

What better time to do a Downtown Senior Session than on Cruisin' Grand Night! I had the pleasure of photographing Jacey Corley on the streets of Escondido as well as Grape Day Park for one of my "Downtown Sessions." I loved the fact that Jacey had her trunk packed with clothes so we had lots of great choices for wardrobe. And of couse I am always a sucker for hats!! I love to have lots of props and personal effects at my sessions and Jacey did not disappoint! Thanks Jacey for making your session so much fun! To get a sneak peak at some of her favorite images, just watch the slide show...

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!
