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.

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.

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.
