Family, Fur, and Milestones
There's something so special about photographing seniors at home, surrounded by the people (and pets!) who love them most. This session felt extra meaningful - capturing not just a milestone year for their senior, but also the connections that shape who he is. From laughter in the backyard to quiet moments in front of the house, and of course a few sweet appearances from the family dog, these images capture of glimpse of home, love, and new beginnings. The youngest is graduating, both sons will be off to college, and they are spending their last few weeks in the home where their teens lived high school life to the fullest. What a joy it is to freeze these fleeting moments before the next big chapter begins!
Anderson at Balboa Park
Our location choice was obvious.
Anderson and his mom chose to come full circle by returning to the place where we first took their photos when he was three, Balboa Park.
We've done images regularly since that first session, always finding fun spots in their San Diego home town.
What a delight to capture so many stages of life for them, and how amazing to watch the young boy grow into such an amazing young man.
Congrats, Anderson! Graduation is just a new beginning!
Lilly in Little Italy
Full Length Session with Lilly
After we did her yearbook photos, Lily and her family opted for an expanded photo session. And what a fast paced adventure we had in Little Italy!
We walked through this downtown community snapping pics with all the fun city vibes.
Lilly nailed it, totally unfazed by the busy streets and sidewalks.
And we finally celebrated with her parents by enjoying a good Italian cup of coffee!
Graduation time is near!
Congrats to Dylan, Class of 2024! Graduation is just around the corner! I was so impressed with his confident yet easy going nature. It showed in the way he worked with me, his interactions with his mom, and the comfortable way he wore his suit (really, not many guys spend much time in a suit and it can be hard to feel like yourself in one).
In the spring it’s always nice to have images to choose from for graduation announcements, Mother’s Day gifts, and memories to frame. We did his senior pictures in the fall. In addition to his MCHS yearbook photo shoot, we did a mini-session that included a selection of photos that can be used for these purposes. Mom was so grateful we had images of this stage of life ready and available to use as needed!
