Alexee Curtis – Enoch High 2015 – Modesto Senior Portraits

Modesto Senior Portraits - Enoch High Class of 2015

Alexee is a senior at Enoch high right next door in Modesto and stopped by the other day for her senior portraits.  Alexee is a pretty awesome young woman and loves to sew, so we of course couldn’t miss the chance to work that into her session.  She brought by her sewing machine and a beautiful quilt she made to be featured in a couple images.  Luckily I had a few tailor/seamstress related items laying around that worked perfectly for the picture.  I really like the resulting images and some of the nice details we added if you look closely.  After our indoor session we headed outside where we were treated to some absolutely beautiful, warm light that highlighted the natural beauty of our location.  It was a wonderful afternoon.  Here are a few images from Alexee’s session, enjoy and thanks for checking them out.

Brianna will be graduating from Orestimba High in Newman, California this coming May and came by the studio for her senior portraits recently.  Brianna has a great sense of style and was a lot of fun to hang out with during our session, always a recipe for great senior portraits!  We started with some indoor images in the studio before heading outside for the location portion of the session among the rocks and tall grasses of the nearby foothills, a great places for senior portraits.  We made some killer images during Brianna’s session, here’s a few to check out.

Senior Portraits

Modesto, Turlock, Waterford, Oakdale, Ceres, Ripon, Riverbank, Hilmar, Denair Senior Portraits by Edward Mendes

It’s that time of year again, senior portrait season, and Matthew came by the studio for his session a few days ago.  Matt came by along with his parents and girlfriend and we had a great time creating some amazing images.  Matthew does some pretty cool stuff including playing water polo for Davis high and being an Eagle scout.  We started the session with some indoor images at the studio before heading out for some beautiful light with the outdoor portion of the session.  We were pretty lucky and had another day of awesome clouds which I tried to take full use of.  Matt’s session is filled with awesome images that would make outstanding wall portraits.  Here’s a few sample images from the session.

Cessalee Vance – Enoch High School Class of 2014 – Senior Pictures

Enoch High - Modesto Senior Portraits by Edward Mendes

The lovely Cessalee will be graduating from Enoch High in Modesto next year (class of 2014) and came by last week for her senior pictures. Cessalee’s wonderful to work with, a lot of fun to hang around with and even photographs nicely too, the whole package.

We started the session in the studio before heading off for the outdoor images in one of my favorite foothill spots, I’m practically living out there right now.  As you’ll be able to see by the pictures below we had some killer clouds and took full advantage of them during the session.  The big sky isn’t something you see in many portraits but I love to utilize a dramatic sky whenever I have the opportunity.  Really, how awesome would a few of those images look as large wall portraits? There’s a statement piece if I’ve ever seen one.  Enough with the talking, here’s a few samples from the session.

Patrick Leiting – Modesto High Class of 2014 – Senior Portraits

Modesto Senior Portraits by Edward Mendes

Patrick came by the studio for his senior portraits last week, he’ll be graduating from Modesto High in the Spring of 2014.  We had a great time during the session and enjoyed hanging out with his parents and sister as well.  Patrick is a great guy, a pleasure to work with and was great in front of the camera, very natural.  In addition to being an all around cool guy Patrick also races BMX bikes in competitions all around the country, pretty cool I think.  Of course when spending most of your time racing you’ve got to work your bike and some of the awards you’ve won into the sessions.  Patrick has a pretty sweet bike and I’m hoping we can head out sometime so I can make some images of him doing a few tricks or maybe jumping over fire.  I’ve got my fingers crossed.

Here’s a few of the images from Patrick’s Senior Portrait session.

Mommy {To Be} Maternity Portrait Session with Whitney

 

Maternity portraits by Modesto area Photographer Edward Mendes. Also serving Turlock, Oakdale, Ceres, Ripon, Riverbank and the entire Central Valley. Maternity Pictures.

Whitney will be welcoming a beautiful baby girl into the world very soon so we headed out for a few maternity portraits, or Mommy {To Be} images as I like to call them.  Whitney makes a beautiful model which makes my job of making her look her best an easy one and allows me to focus more of my attention on creative stuff, like open fields and balloons.  Her baby shower will be featuring a pink color theme so I wanted to work that into the images in some way as the pictures are going to be used during the party.  We started the session with a  few studio images, a bit of a warm up, before heading to the field of oats just outside my studio for a few images with some balloons.  We finished the session at one of my favorite local spots.

If you’re expecting (or know someone who is) and would like your own Mommy {To Be} maternity portrait session give me a call, 209.541.1815 or drop me an email and we can set one up.  OK, enough talking, here’s some of the images from the session.
