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!

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.

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.

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.

It’s Senior Portrait Season here in the Modesto area

Modesto Senior Portraits

It’s that time of year again, school is almost back in session and for the class of 2014 that means Senior Portraits.  If you have a graduating senior give me a call today to schedule your complimentary senior consultation.

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,

Don’t have a senior in the house but know someone who does?  Great, you can earn a referral credit towards a future session or that extra print you didn’t get from our last session.

If you’ve been to the studio before you know I focus on creating the best images possible, not shooting as many sessions as I possibly can.  I only book one session a day so dates are extremely limited.   If you’d like to make sure I’m available please give me a call right away, 209-541-1815 or email edward@edwardmendes.com.
