Michelle’s Graduation Photos, San Diego senior portrait photography

Michelle’s senior photos came out so beautifully, they were the talk of our church. (She’s our Pastor’s daughter.) The studio her school used did a fabulous job. They sure didn’t look like my hands-under-the- chin senior pictures from years ago. So when she came to me for her graduation pictures, I was a little intimidated. Instead of feeling like I needed to do better, I set out to “do different” and have fun. We had so much fun walking around Balboa Park, we didn’t even know hours had passed, and she almost missed a meeting at church!

Just because I can’t resist doing a flare shot whenever possible. To me, they’re like little rays of blessing. (I know, I know, I’m corny!)

Beautiful light, beautiful girl, how can you go wrong?

Michelle told me that someone said I must have photoshopped this image. Yup, in fact, I did. Converted it to black and white!

Sorry for neglecting the blog. I’ve been doing lots of busy work, those pesky details that need to get done but never make you feel like you’re accomplishing much. It’s like trying to string beads without tying a knot at the end. You just keep losing your marbles, I mean, beads.

Here’s a sneak peek of Michele’s graduation photos. I think she looks like a vintage movie star. The light here was so beautiful, I could have shot there all day!

Senior Portrait Photography: Haley

Haley’s original photo appointment was rained out a couple of weeks ago so we rescheduled for this past weekend. The day was beautiful, and we got great light for her senior photos. It was great timing because it’s now raining again!

Before we started her session, Haley told me she doesn’t do well in front of the camera. I think I’d have to disagree. She did fabulous! You guys be the judge…

Thanks, Haley for trusting me with your senior photos even when I asked you to climb up and down rocks, sit at weird places, stand in front of not-so-pretty backgrounds… You were great!

And thanks Norva for the referral!

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone!
