Modesto Engagement Photographer
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…

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!
Would you like beautiful family portraits for your home or office? How about holiday cards? Then you’ve come to the right place. Give me a call today 209.541.1815 or send an email to schedule your family consultation. Modesto Family Portraits.

Crystal Briseno – CSU Sacramento 2014 – Graduation Portraits
While 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.
Are you graduating or know someone who is and are looking for more than your typical boring senior pictures? Then you’ve come to the right place. Give me a call today 209.541.1815 or send an email to schedule your senior consultation.

Patrick Leiting – Modesto High Class of 2014 – Senior Portraits
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.

Mr. and Mrs. {Almost} Session – Engagement Portraits with Christian and Christine
Meet Christian and Christine, one of my newer couples who will be getting married just after the new year. Both go to school out-of-state so this summer is a busy one as Christine is finishing up as much wedding planning as possible before she has to leave again for school. Christian is in the middle of a summer internship in Texas and headed to California for the July 4th holiday, a short family vacation and as it turns out their engagement portraits too. The engagement session is usually my first opportunity to work with my couples but in this instance it was also my first chance to meet Christian as well.
We headed out to one of my favorite “local” spots in the greater Modesto area as the location seemed to fit their wedding theme and Christine’s vision perfectly. Both Christine and Christian were wonderful to work with and fun to hang out with during their engagement portraits. They have a very natural and comfortable way about about them in front of the camera, always a big plus. We had some great light and made good use of it. The images from the session turned out wonderfully and I’m looking forward to their wedding in January.
Here’s a few more of Christian and Christine’s engagement portraits.

Mommy {To Be} Maternity Portrait Session with Whitney
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.
