Austin Trickey – Beyer High 2015 – Modesto Senior Portraits

Modesto Senior Portraits

Austin’s a pretty awesome guy, of course he’s also my cousin so I may be a bit bias.  He’s smart (you should hear the list of schools he’s applying to), he played water polo, has a cool car…I mean come on, mother’s lock up your daughters, right?  Anyway,  Austin wanted to go out-of-town for his senior portraits so we headed to San Fransisco for a day in the city and a chance to do something a bit different than what everyone else is doing.  We started along the Embarcadero where we found some awesome tagged walls before moving on to a few of my other favorite SF portrait locations before ending the day at the ruins of the Sutro Baths and then some tacos at a nearby taqueria.  It was a great session and an awesome day!  Want to check out some of the images from Austin’s session?  Here you go…

Chelsea Johnson – Class of 2014 Senior Portraits

Modesto Senior Portraits

Chelsea will be graduating from Ceres High (class of 2014) in a few days and stopped by the studio for her senior portraits recently.   Chelsea was wonderful to work with and very easy to photograph.  We started in the studio before branching out to our outdoor location for some fantastic conditions and light.  Chelsea is a very talented drummer and will be playing with the Fresno State Marching band in the fall, way to go Chelsea!  Here’s a few images from her senior portraits.

Crystal Briseno – CSU Sacramento 2014 – Graduation Portraits

Graduation Portraits by Edward MendesWhile I photograph a lot of graduation portraits for high school seniors, we don’t tend to do that many for college seniors, why is that?  Crystal will be graduating from CSU Sacramento (my alma mater) in May and thought the occasion should be marked by getting some awesome graduation portraits made.  A Good idea in my book!

I had been in nearby Knights Ferry about a week before Crystal gave me a call photographing the beautiful wildflowers (we had a stellar bloom this year) and thought a couple meadows I “discovered” would make the perfect setting for Crystal’s graduation portraits.  Hillsides covered in poppies and wild lupine are always good for portraits, right?

If you’d like to see one of my new fine art images I made in the same area during the peak of the wildflowers, here you go.

We had a great time exploring a couple new areas and created some stunning images.  There are some great options here for wall portraits, particularly the images featuring some of the area’s stunning landscapes.  Here’s a few from our session.

Senior Portraits

Senior Portraits by Edward Mendes - Brianna Tyer Class of 2014 Orestimba High School. Newman Senior Portraits

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.

Fall Portraits with Stella

Fall Portraits Children - Modesto, Turlock, Ceres, Oakdale, Riverbank, Central Valley, California

This little bundle of giggles is Stella,  adorable right?  I know.   If you ever find yourself in a cute contest with a 6 month old (I’m not sure why you would) you better hope it’s not this one because you’re going to lose.  Fall leaves are covering the yard here at the studio and Stella is finally sitting up by herself so it was the perfect time for some awesome fall portraits.  Fall portraits are always a lot of fun with kids because they love to play in the leaves and and the warm shades of red and yellow really pop making portraits eye catching.  Plus, with the cooler weather we get to break out the cozy sweaters, scarfs, caps and all the other stuff that add texture and interest to portraits.  Fall portraits are some of my favorites!  We also did a few images in the studio a few weeks earlier and I’ve included a couple of those here for your enjoyment as well.  Enjoy!

 

Looking for fall portraits or portraits in general? Give me a call today to schedule your family portrait session and celebrate the season in style, 209.541.1815 or edward@edwardmendes.com.

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.
