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.

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.

Mommy {To Be} Maternity Portrait Session with Whitney

 

Maternity portraits by Modesto area Photographer Edward Mendes. Also serving Turlock, Oakdale, Ceres, Ripon, Riverbank and the entire Central Valley. Maternity Pictures.

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.
