Senior model shoot~ Northern California Senior Photographer

Hi! It has been a while since I have posted. Not that I have a TON of followers or anything, but just in case you have been checking in with me, sorry it has been so long and I am excited to be back and start the fall "family christmas card season!". I moved from my 3200 sq foot rental house into a 2 bedroom aparment.... yep you heard that right. I downsized!!! A LOT. I sold enough of my furniture and other stuff to furnish an entire house and still have enough for this house and a storage unit! WOW! but my goal in stuffing my 3 kids and one dog into a 2 bedroom apartment is to save enough money this year to pay off 3 credit cards and and save enough for 10%-20% down on a house before the market starts to go back up... so CRaZy? maybe a little... I like to call it, {waking up to reality} and being responsible. So there it is. I have had a crazy month and just got internet and I am ready to start working :) I feel surprisingly happy about all the time I have to work on photography now that I do not have to clean a humungo house.... hahah!

Well now down to business, few photog friends and I decided to get together. We all needed some Senior photos to add to our portfolios as well as just getting together and having some fun! you can see their sites Katie, Sandy, Tina, Aimee The fun part about doing a shoot like this is we can try some new things, and do stuff I would like to work on. Senior posing is one of those. I also got the chance to work on some things like low light and motion photography. We went to downtown Folsom which is definately going to be one of my new favorite locations!



All these kids were so much fun to work with and so photogenic! It was a breeze to work with them! I have LOVED EVERy senior shoot I have done so far.



Take a peak! there are a lot and so many more..but I could not post them all :) Some of them I will post the data so you can see what my settings were when I took them!



ENJOY! :)

played around with my setting to try out different effects and here you have them.
