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 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.

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.

I take great pride in creating senior portraits that reflects each seniors personality, allowing “the real” you/them to come through in the images.  It’s always wonderful when were watching the slideshow of the session and a parent points at the pictures proclaiming, “Wow, That’s him/her,
