F is for February and Family

I photographed 2 gorgeous families in February 2011. This lucky couple have 3 cute boys and a baby girl who as you see is the 'fun one'...

I love this family because 1) they are lovely 2) because they are my brother's kids and wife and 3) because family also pay :)

Aneesa's January @ Santa Rosa Creek

Aneesa is only 8 but she looks older. What a cute little girl. I can't wait to photographer again.

Lexy a natural model.

Lexy is Nielah friend. They go to the same High School and I photographed both girls at the same time. Double Senior sessions: Love it :). Lexy is a natural she posed herself.

Nielah: Talented young photographer

Nielah is a friend from Model Mayhem where I first saw her pictures..she is extremelly talented and gorgeous. I did her Senior pictures in January the day was actually very nice. Winter was almost Spring in this area.

Sweet Carmen

This is Carmen and she is such a sweet girl from a High School North of Santa Rosa CA. She was a little late  because she had her school exams that day but we finally met and it was fun. This is my favorite location every Fall in Downtown .

Thalia's Fall @ Luther Burbank Gardens

The first time I saw Thalia she was @ the mall doing her make up, I loved her dark long hair that day (and the day when she posed for me and the day when she went to pick up her High School Senior pictures :). Later that week we met @ Luther Burbank where the Fall was beautiful. She is a natural and did great.

Amy wanted Graffiti and train tracks

This beautiful young lady saw my photos on Facebook and decided "I was the one for her Senior photos". For her pictures she wanted Graffiti. Well  I looked and looked and was not able to find any around here. It seems like graffiti gets cleaned right the next day. I was happy to hear that this town was kept so clean but also disappointed because I was not able to find the walls for background my client was looking for. I went to downtown and found old buildings and train tracks that are not too clean. Anyways Amy was happy with the photos and that is all I care.

Carmen's Angel Face

I recently did a double Senior Session with Carmen and Amy. We met @ Chevy's Mexican restaurant in downtown and we took a few photos in that area, then we crossed the street and ended up @ Santa Rosa Creek. A few minutes later we were back @ Chevy's train tracks. This beautiful lady is Carmen I love her sweet face and told her "You have an angel face" what did she say ? LMAO she taught it was hilarious what I said..anyways It was my first time working with 2 seniors at the same time we it was a lot of fun.

A and O @ Howard Park Santa Rosa CA

The very next week after I photographed J and H, A contacted me telling me she wanted photos of her and her boyfriend asap. I was so excited to go back to the park and do my magic.. We met at 4 pm and one hour later it was dark! It was almost Winter :( During September and October my sessions were from 6-8 sunset time was 8 pm during the Summer months.  I miss the Summer it feels like the days have more hours. Anyways A and O are great models and I can't wait to work with them again. She said they will probably want more photos next Spring :)

J and H @ Howard Park Santa Rosa CA

These 2 lovers are so much fun to photograph. She is a Facebook friend and he is from Bodega Bay. November was gorgeous during the Fall so I told her to meet me there. The day was perfect and so the weather. They loved the pictures of course.

Bonnie's inspiring email

This is exactly the email Bonnie sent to me "Hello :) I couldn't help but notice what amazing pictures you take i wasn't planning on taking my senior pics but after seeing your work i would love it if you could be my photographer. I go to Montomgerym High and i was hoping you could tell me your prices for senior pics. thanks :)""....I love e mails like that, so inspiring...anyways she was nervous when we but after I told her I  speak Spanish, she was more comfortable and she and she did a great job posing..

Hector's smiles

I love Hector's smile, he had a happy smile the entire time he was posing, We met @ Santa Rosa Middle school, right across the school there is a park "Cancer Survivor Plaza" and right across the Plaza there is this Auto body store that has some cool walls painted with cars and 'things that move'. We crossed the street to go to the Plaza and took some photos there, then we crossed the street to go to this shop and he posed against the cool walls... (how do I know about all these cool walls? I go for walks to downtown all the time, looking for....cool walls and cool places to pose my Seniors ;)

Tall blue eyed Senior boy

The mom of this 6'3 tall blue eyed blond contacted me and said that she wanted Senior pictures for his son ASAP. Jeremy is the brother of one of the girls who trashed the dress last year, so I was happy to meet the rest of the family. It was raining all day that day, but he needed the pictures...lucky for me the rain stopped for a few minutes while I worked..there were 4 other pro photographers @ Julliard photographing Seniors under the rain! It was Wednesday when I took the pictures and 24 hours the photos were ready!, I love my new computer and editing program....
