Nancy | Half Moon Bay Photo Session

Half Moon Bay Greenhouses/James Fitzgerald Marine Reserve Photo Session Nancy and I had the perfect overcast lighting - as is common in Half Moon Bay - for her Friday afternoon photo session at Highway 92 Succulents & James Fitzgerald Marine Reserve. I love the variety of shots we got over the span of a few hours - from beautiful flowers and succulents to a magical cypress grove and rocky beach, we covered it all. Enjoy!

Bridget | Sunrise Lupine Session

Bridget and I went to high school together, and I was so excited when she contacted me to take her college senior portraits. When I asked if she'd be willing to meet me at 6:45am for a sunrise session, she said "yes" without hesitation and drove from San Jose to Dublin (45 minutes!) all ready to shoot! I think it was worth it - we got some stunning shots in the lupines!

Eden

Vintage Senior Portraits | Western Railway Museum, Suisun City, California

Had a great time hanging out with this girl - a senior in high school with awesome vintage style! Also, I highly recommend going to this museum. All the volunteers are very knowledgeable and kind, and it's a really cool atmosphere. You can take a train ride out 5 miles through windmills and open land - not the kind of thing you see everyday!

5 Housemates' Senior Photos

Santa Barbara, CA | UCSB Class of 2015 | Senior Portraits

After getting her own photos done, Karen brought her four housemates back for a group photoshoot, which was a lot of fun. It was interesting to see all these personalities come together! I think they should all go model for Free People.

Ana, Angie, & Laura

Santa Barbara, CA | UCSB + UCLA Class of 2015 | Senior Portraits

These girls woke up early to catch some morning fog. For being so early, they all had such great energy that I think shines through in these shots. Thanks again, ladies! I had a great time working with you.

Kaylee

Santa Barbara | UCSB Class of 2015 | Senior Portraits

Kaylee was so great to work with. Originally from a dense, urban area in China, she wanted something more city-esque, which is always fun! We went downtown to the Funk Zone for some grittier shots, but not before we stopped at a great bookstore on the way. I love the color, shapes, and energy in these shots, not to mention her contagious smile! Thanks again, Kaylee, and congratulations on graduating!

Questa

Lifestyle senior portraits | UCSB Class of 2015 | Santa Barbara, California

Questa came to me with her own unique vision, which I am always happy to hear. She wanted her session to portray two different sides of her personality: the quiet and the loud. I think the resulting images are lovely, and I loved being a part of making her vision come to life.

Nicole

Classic California | UCSB Class of 2015 Senior Portraits | Santa Barbara County

This senior shoot was definitely one of a kind. I would simply describe Nicole as "fabulous." She is funny, energetic, and probably the most adventurous person I've had the pleasure of working with so far; this is evident in her train trestle and ocean photos. She spent a semester at sea traveling the world and used some scarves from her travels for part of the shoot. During our consultation she recited a disturbing-yet-wonderful poem she had written off the top of her head. I think that says it all – she is an interesting, fabulous human being. And I hope these photos reflect that! Thanks again, Nicole!

Natalie

Knapps Castle Senior Portraits | UCSB Class of 2015 | Santa Barbara, California

Meet Natalie, another lovely UCSB senior! We had a lot of fun on this Free People-inspired shoot – especially with the bathtub! Despite the cold wind we found up in the mountains, I think the shots we got are one-of-a-kind and so warm and golden. Thanks again, Natalie!

Julia K.

Goleta, California Photographer | UCSB Senior Portraits | Class of 2015

I just love working with seniors! For the first (and last) time, I am also a college senior, and it's so fun to be surrounded by so much enthusiasm for UCSB and graduation. Julia and I were able to get some great shots over at the Butterfly Preserve – isn't her smile contagious?

Julia O.

I knew Julia's shoot was going to be fun from the moment she asked to incorporate a skateboard. I found out she was also a surfer, so we decided to make use both kinds of boards for her photos! I love how full of motion these photos are. Julia has such a magnetic personality, which will hopefully suit her well at law school in the fall!

Jessica

SANTA YNEZ, CALIFORNIA PHOTOGRAPHER

What's not to love about a red polka dot dress, California poppies, green hillsides, and red balloons? Had a great time working with Jessica - she was so enthusiastic and had many wonderful ideas. I love working with people who inspire me in new directions - and help me get through barbed wire fences!
