Trash The Prom Dress Sessions in June!

It's that time of year again!  You've bought the perfect dress, wore it at your prom with your handsome date, and had the time of your life.  But now what?!?  You're so sad to just put the dress away in your closet but what else can you do?  Well girlfriend, you came to the right place!

Find at least two friends to book with you and we'll go on location to take some group and individual photographs in your party dress that will make even America's Next Top Model envious.  Bring along some fun props, such as silly string, and let your "silly" side come out.  Sounds like a blast, right?  But how much, you ask.  For the session and 2-5x7's of your favorite image, it's only $50 per person.  Pretty cool, huh?  So call us at 760.739.9580 to get more info.

Okay, I'm just dying to get a couple of these photos up on my blog!  I had so much fun with Alicia yesterday, and she brought along her mother and her BF, Tavia (who you may remember did her session with me last week.)  Since prom was this past weekend, I asked Alicia to bring along her gorgeous prom dress so I could do some beautiful images of her over at Lake Hodges.  You'll see a "before & after" shot of her in her dress, taken on a hillside.  The "after" obviously has had the foliage color change to give it a more dramatic look.  One more reason to book us for your session, since I love to play with images and put an artistic spin on things.

 

Alicia did an amazing job with taking direction on posing and her images are amazing.  I especially love her bright smile in the following image:

 

There are so many more images from both Tavia and Alicia's sessions so stay tuned for a couple of great music slide shows featuring my favorites.  Hey, maybe I'll even combine their photos into one slide show!

Sneak Peek at Tavia Kelly's Senior Session!

Shhhhhhh!  Don't let everyone know but I sometimes like to put a sneak peek photo on my blog the day after a session so that my seniors can get really excited about their upcoming presentation of images that I took.  Here's one of my favorites of Tavia Kelly, a senior at San Pasqual High School.  We took her senior session photographs at Lake Hodges, and I think next week's session will probably be my last there until next late winter when everything starts to turn green again.  I had a great time photographing Tavia and she was my first senior to make it all the way down to the boat docks for photographs at sunset.  So stay tuned to see how some of those turned out...great, by the way!

Hangin' With Your Friends!

I just wanted to share this image from last month's "Couch in a Field" session.  Athena, Jacky, and their friends took advantage of my special one day event and I really loved how this turned out.  If any of you have a fun and creative idea for a one day event, please let me know.  I'm always looking for great ideas!

Drum Roll Pleeeeease! New website is now live!

So why the new website you ask?  Now a days, iPads and iPhones and mobile devices are being used more and more to search the web and view sites.  Unfortunately, my old high school senior site was not mobile friendly and therefore was only viewable on computers.  Plus, I wasn't able to post any videos on my site so you would have to visit my blog to see them.  And, on a smaller note (no pun intended), my images on my old site were 25% smaller than those on my new site.  Hey, bigger is better when it comes to photographs!

So the big question is, do you like the new site better?  I love the idea of using these cute quotes on my text pages and now I have more galleries to show samples of my different sessions.  I think I will also use the proofing gallery on this site for seniors to view their session images and be able to share with friends & family.  I would love to hear what you have to say.  Click on comments below and let me know what you think of my new site.

We've stepped it up a notch with our "Fusion Video" by having another photographer along to do the video portion of the session.  Check out this senior session video and let us know what you think!  Remember, we are running a special through the end of March, so if you like this style of music video, book now to get in on this great deal.
