Bay Area Senior Portraits : Urban Beach Session with Two Natalie’s

It is almost graduating time for the Class of 2012, and two best friends came to me to have their “real senior portraits” done. Both named Natalie, they go by “Nat” and “Nay” – and these two girls wanted  cool, urban san francisco senior portraits that also included nature scenes and the golden gate bridge. No problem – the San Francisco Presidio has it all! We started out at Baker Beach – then worked our way through armories and woodsy meadows. Nat and Nay did plenty of solo shots but also some bff shots. Double senior sessions are a great way to photograph your high school portraits – you save some $ on your session fee, and having your friend around can be inspiring and adds to the overall experience.  We had met a week earlier in my Alameda studio  to plan and discuss outfits, accessories & style – so the day of the session we had nothing left to do but have fun and capture these girls on a gorgeous day.

San Francisco Bay Area Modern Family Photographer : Hip, Happy Holiday Sessions are a Wrap!

Huge sigh!  The holiday portrait session for 2011 is officially a wrap – but what great sessions they were!  I have been shooting and editing sessions for six weeks straight and finally have a chance to come up for air and post one example of a modern, hip, happy holiday session from this year.  There were many to choose from – but this one with three sisters (two are twins), two parents and a somewhat irreverent dog named Kono -  seemed to sum up my 2011 family photo sessions. Embodying great light, bold colors, fun subjects, a little bit of snow and a modern twist on family portraits – here is a taste of our session,  all shot in a 30 minute holiday mini session under the freeway in Oakland :)

 

 

 

Bay Area Senior Photographer : Highschool Portraits at San Francisco Baker Beach

It was one of those very rare days at the San Francisco Beaches – clear and 75 degrees at 9am – wow! Lindsay wanted to have her high school photographs at the beach with a little bit of interesting architectural backgrounds as well. The armory attached to baker beach was perfect to provide a distressed, edgy look.   We met in the parking lot for her san francisco beach senior portraits and went through her various outfits to plan out the session.  Lindsay has an easy going manner that is very natural and fluid, so we went for very simple styling.  Here are some of my favs from the session….

Starting at Baker Beach – we did some easy photographs on the beach. We included the Golden Gate Bridge in a few of her beach high school portraits, and also made sure to capture the Northern California coastline features.

then we headed to the armory to find some cool, unique backgrounds that would set off her blue eyes…

We finished with a few quick shots in the San Francisco Presidio – some of my favorites were with this iron gate which made a nice graphic and also made me think about cross roads – an apt symbol for a graduating high school senior :)

 

and in case you were wondering if she got wet at the beach…. she did….

 

Bay Area Vintage Teen Photographer | Urban Session with Vintage Feel

I love working with teens, and especially enjoyed Nadine’s Urban Session last month! She brought her amazing outfits that really show off her unique personality, and her love of vintage looks! Nadine wanted an East Bay teen urban photography session that was edgy, vintage and still pretty.  So I loaded a few vintage chairs in the van and we hit the streets of Oakland to find some interesting backgrounds to have fun with. Here is a video highlighting some favs…

Celebrate your teen style with location sessions that are hip, urban, and totally cool! Bring your wardrobe of styles, and show off who you are in a session that is designed to be all about you! See more cool senior and teen photography here!  Urban sessions are especially cool for senior portraits and can be combined with some studio and some urban for a range of looks.
