Long Beach Senior Portraits
Lets applaud all the high school and college seniors who finished out their academic journeys at home, on zoom, in the midst of a global pandemic! Most high school seniors graduating this year missed their homecoming and winter formals, sporting events, spring break festivities, camaraderie with friends, and extracurricular activities they previously engaged in and loved.
These two amazing young ladies decided to make the best of their situation, stayed positive, and completed all the requirements to graduate and gain admission into the colleges of their choice! To celebrate, they got to do a senior photo session! (A BIG thank you for choosing me to be your photographer!!) We had a blast roaming around El Dorado Regional Park!
Wishing them all the best in the next exciting chapter of their lives!! xoxo

DTLA Graduation Session with Courtney
There are sooo many things I could say about this shoot! First off Courtney, THANK YOU! This shoot brings me so much JOY! It was such fun running around DTLA with you! This first image puts a big smile on my face! What a wacky random portrait! LOVE IT! The theme for this shoot was art, music, and literature– I think we nailed it! 😀 Courtney is about to graduate with a Bachelors in English from CSULB! Congratulations Courtney! All your hard work is about to pay off! I’m so excited to see what direction you take in life. I know you will bring creativity and ~vision~ with you wherever you go! xoxo!
Laguna Beach High School Grad Session
There are a few times in your life when professional photography is an absolute MUST. Senior portraits are no exception. If you can swing it, please don’t settle for the school’s photographer. No offense to a studio set-up, but there’s only so much creative latitude you can have with a “step-right-up”one-stop-shot kind of set-up. Who wants to be typical and cookie cutter? Why not create portraits that are a bit more scenic?
Shayne wanted a beach backdrop. Done! No better place than Laguna! He wanted wardrobe options. Done! You want traditional mixed with non-traditional. You wanna wear your sunny’s in a few of the shots? Done and done! He brought props too. Cool!!! That said, this first shot is probably my favorite. Love the wave crashing in the background and the expression on Shayne’s face! Congrats Shayne on 4 years of hard work in the bag! I know it will pay off! Here’s to getting in to UCSD!!! Go Tritons!!! 🙂
Cal State University Long Beach Graduate Session
may 29, 2012
California State University Long Beach is a sprawling, spacious campus, perfect for a photoshoot! And all the more convenient, when you graduate from that fine institution and have a perfect excuse to shoot your graduation photos there! It was a ton of fun getting together with Angel to do her graduation pics! Faith and family have been a huge part of her educational journey and I love how she brought those important elements into this session. Wishing you, Angel, and all the graduates of 2012 the very BEST as you venture out into the world!!! May you follow your dreams and live with passion and purpose~
