Ashleigh and Cody are a fun couple so I was really looking forward to their engagement session.  They’ve recently moved back to the valley after spending some time in one of my favorite places in the world, Yosemite!  Just as I had hoped I had a great time working with them at one of my local locations.  We were greeted by overcast conditions which made for nice even light.  Cody and Ashleigh will be getting married this spring at the the always lovely Vintage Gardens in Modesto.  I can’t wait to create the images of their big day!

Here are a few images from the session…

Enochs High | Modesto Senior Portraits

It’s senior portrait season for the class of 2016 and for a Modesto senior photographer like myself that means getting to work with some great clients.  Speaking of which Courtney came by recently for her senior session.  We headed out to one of my more popular locations and were greeted by some amazing light.  I had a great time working with Courtney and her mom Peggy while creating some stellar images, here’s a few of my favorites from her outdoor session.

Alex Nowling Senior Portraits

A few weeks ago I was out at Knights Ferry doing some incredible senior pics with Melissa Orosco (seriously, we had an awesome sunset!) and I had a chance to meet Melissa’s bestie, Alex, who came to the session for a couple “buddy” pics with Melissa.  I guess I did something right because after seeing Melissa’s pictures Alex decided to come in for her senior portraits too, lucky me!  Alex wanted to do something a little different so we headed to beautiful San Fransisco and an amazing session.

There’s a number of different locations I like to work at around SF when we head over there for a portrait session depending on the type of session and the personality of the client.  For Alex we started at Ghirardelli Square with it’s great architecture and cool vibe before heading to some of the nearby parks and even the famous trolley station.  We ended the day at one of my favorite beaches in the area with a beautiful sunset and a backdrop of the San Fransisco bay framed by the Golden Gate bridge, a wonderful way to end the session.

Alex and her family (along with Melissa!) were a lot of fun to hang out with and did a great job of hauling around all her clothes, :) . I’m looking forward to their family session soon! Hint, hint!

Here’s a few images from Alex’s session in SF, enjoy!

Last week I had the pleasure of creating Melissa’s senior portraits.  Melissa will be graduating from Escalon High in June and wanted to do something outside so we headed to Knights Ferry for a great senior portrait session.  We’ve seen an abundance of warm weather this year and it was another beautiful day filled with green grass (rare in this area) and beautiful clouds.  Melissa did a wonderful job, fun and very natural in front of the camera.  In addition to her solo images we also did a few pics with her brother and best friend, both of whom were wonderful.

I only photograph one session a day when we go outdoors because I want to make sure we’re on location only during the absolute best light and this was the perfect example as to why.  The day ended with a killer sunset lighting up the clouds with hues of red, orange, blue and purple as the light changed.  It was an awesome session!  Here’s a few images…enjoy!

Jessica will be graduating from Grace Davis High in nearby Modesto this June and came by the studio for her senior pictures just before Christmas.  In addition is being a lovely young lady, Jessica is also a very talented soccer player, something we made sure to incorporate into her session.  Jessica wanted to do something outdoors so we headed to the foothills for the beautiful views and stunning light…neither of which disappointed.  Here are a few images from Jessica’s senior portrait session, enjoy!

Modesto Family Portraits

Modesto Family Portraits

I don’t think anything quite transforms a house into a home like having portraits of your family hanging on it’s walls.  Beautiful family portraits bring a smile to your face when you enter a room, it’s one of the many reasons I take so much time creating the perfect portrait for each of the family’s I have the chance to work with.  Juleana and her sons, Jared, Justin and Jack came out with me to one of my favorite foothill spots for their family session a couple weeks ago.  Jared came in for his senior portraits a couple weeks before and this family session was a great opportunity to create accent images of his brothers along with a main portrait for their home.  The Rice’s are so great to work with, fun, easy going and photogenic (that’s always a plus)!

One storm had just moved through the area and another was on it’s way in as we prepared for the session.  As luck would have it we timed things perfectly and we’re rewarded by some amazing clouds and a perfect sunset.  Here are a few of the images from their session, enjoy!

Senior portraits here in the Modesto area has been in full swing for a while and Xavier came in for his a few weeks ago.  We started inside making some great studio images before heading downtown for the outdoor images.  Downtown Modesto with it’s cool alleyways, colorful walls, staircases and more make for awesome image…if you know where to look.  Luckily I know all the great spots.  It’s also a nice alternative to the big beautiful landscape locations I’m known for.  Xavier is a wonderful guy, cool to hang out with and did a great job during the session.  He’ll be graduating this June and moving on to great things in college.  Here are a few images from Xavier’s session.

Beach Portraits - Modesto Senior Photographer

I’ve been a busy bee lately so I’m a little behind in posting some of my recent sessions.  Haley is an awesome all around person and awesome people love the beach…at least that’s how I view the world.  I’ve been doing a lot of local senior portrait sessions lately so I was thrilled when Haley wanted to head out-of-town to towards the sunny coast.  We did the indoor session the day before and had the opportunity to create a number of beautiful classic images and some featuring Haley’s volleyball stuff.  Did I mention Haley’s a great volleyball player?  Well, now I have.

The next day we headed to one of my favorite places in the world, Carmel-by-the-Sea, for Haley’s outdoor session.  We started in the village’s lovely downtown park where I got to meet Oscar, Haley’s very cute K9.  After some time in the grass we moved to the open air mall across the street and finally ending up at my favorite beach in the area.  The conditions were perfect with soft warm light, a slight breeze and big waves crashing against the large rocks that highlight this particular stretch of beach.  We created a number of images, including the one above, what a moment!

Here are a few images from Haley’s session, enjoy!

I had the pleasure of taking Julia’s senior portraits the other day.  Julia is a senior at Enoch High School and will be graduating this coming June.  Julia’s mom and younger sister joined her for the session and they couldn’t have been nicer to hang out with for the afternoon.  Julia is a natural in front of the camera and it really shows in the images from the session.  We started in the studio and ended the session at one of my favorite outdoor locations where we were greeted with an absolutely stunning sunset and with beautiful warm colors that bathed the entire area in perfect light.  I’ve become known for my images from certain outdoor locations so I like to change things up occasionally in order to continue to offer something new to my clients and keep things fresh for me as well.  While Julia and I were walking the area we discovered a couple new locations with beautiful background vistas and took full advantage of them.  I’ll certainly be adding these to my shot list for future sessions.  It was a wonderful session with Julia and we created a number of beautiful images perfect for wall portraits, here’s a few images from the day.

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.
