Senior Models - Class of 2020 | Turlock, California

FRIENDS! This shoot was as close to dreamy as they come. I planned for months to do our first senior model team photoshoot at Pageo Lavender farm in Turlock, CA.

This senior photography shoot is actually super old, haha! I am 2 years behind. Yes….. you read that right….. 2 whole years. BUT that doesn’t mean that these gorgeous images don’t deserve a permanent spot on my blog.

These models from 2020 went to high-school all over the central valley. From Atwater to Turlock to Ceres and Modesto, they all showed up and looked GORG for me on every team shoot.

My vision for this shoot was stripes, blues, creams, and whites. I guess I was going for a “french cottage” vibe.

Makeup was done by Ramona Bianco and she did such a beautiful job. You can check out the video (that features all my high-school senior models as well as Ramona doing their makeup) that we made about our shoot here if you’d like to.

It was SUCH a fun day and one of my favorite model shoots EVER!

Meet Alyssa | Turlock Photographer

I’m still playing catch-up! But I wanted to showcase Alyssa’s session! Alyssa is one of the sweetest people ever and a GREAT athlete! She is a graduate of Ceres High and played Volleyball and ran Track for them. She went on to play volleyball for Modesto Junior College as well.

Her session was so fun because we incorporated so many different looks and locations. Plus, this beauty loves sunflowers, so we decided to incorporate those as well. We began in downtown Turlock and also went to UC Stanislaus State AND Ceres High to capture SO MUCH VARIETY! And isn’t that what you want out of senior portraits? I just love giving my clients a TON of great images to choose from. It was a great day!

Meet Anna | Modesto Senior Photography

You guuuuuuuys! Anna is one of my favorite photography sessions ever. She is the daughter of a friend of mine and I just love her to pieces! Anna was one of my Senior Models, so we did a mini session in Ripon, CA at Poots Cactus because she loves gardening and wanted to incorporate that love into her senior Pictures. For her solo photo session we headed up to Modesto and did some photos in downtown Modesto and then cruised up to Knights Ferry and did even MORE gorgeous photos there.

After the session, Anna and her mom chose to print her photos in a gorgeous 11x14 Luxury Keepsake Box. If you follow me at all, you know that I adore digital files to share, but my BIG passion is getting you products and prints with your photos on them! I love that Anna chose a keepsake box that holds not only her prints, but her cap and gown, her prom tickets, notes from friends, drama playbills, and ALL the things that were important to her during her High School career.

Enjoy these gorgeous photos!

Meet Madison! | Turlock Senior Photographer

You guys! This gorgeous High School Senior is sunshine personified! She is not only so beautiful, but she’s talented and so sweet! I loved having her as one of my former models and her session at Knights Ferry, CA was so fun. Her parents both came with us and we had a blast. She is a graduate of Orestimba High School in Newman, CA and has gone on to college now and is pursuing her dreams.

I wanted to put Madison’s session up on the blog because I think it highlights such a wide range of looks we can get, even in one location. From the pretty river shots to the covered bridge to the nature scenes, we had so many cool location options that gave Madison a HUGE variety of photos to choose from.

Enjoy these fun photos!

Meet Leivy! | Turlock Senior Photos

So, Leivy was one of the FIRST clients I had in California! She answered a model call in the Spring of her junior year and I loved being her photographer so much that I invited her to be a senior model during her senior year at Atwater High. She chose to do her senior solo session as a destination shoot in San Francisco! And I couldn’t have been happier about it. All her photos in downtown San Francisco, as well as at Baker Beach turned out SO beautifully.

Meet Christine! | Modesto Senior Photographer

Ummm…… I’m a little behind on blogging….. Like two years behind………..

BUT, I couldn’t NOT blog about my session with Christine! Christine is a graduate of Gregori High School in Modesto and is now studying at CSU East Bay. She is also GORGEOUS and a really sweet person.

We had such a fun day running around San Francisco in Union Square and going to Baker Beach for some sunset photos. Her sister got to come with us and we even took a few shots with her.

I love destination shoots and LOVE being a destination photographer. San Fran is one of my all time favorite places because you can get SO many diverse looks in a relatively small geographic place.

Christine KILLED it and her photos looked amazing. So glad I can share a few of them with you.

I adore the architecture of San Francisco!

These doooooooooors!

Maiden Lane is so cute!

Cute Sisters!

Meet Jared! | Modesto Senior Photographer

Whew! It’s been a hot minute since I blogged, so I’m playing catch up…… again! But Jared was a 2018 Senior and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to showcase his photos on my blog! His style was awesome and went really well with the Downtown Turlock location that he chose, as well as the natural location.

His mom chose a framed collage as well as an amazing 8x8 album as their art pieces and they turned out gorgeous.

Meet Dani! | Ripon Senior Photographer

 I've been missing from this little corner of the internet for a bit!  But I wanted to share Dani with you and the fun images we got.  Dani is actually a Hughson High School graduate, but we decided to go up to Ripon for her session & check out Ripon Army Corps Park.  That park, you guys!  So many cool spots!  We got some urban looking shots with the graffiti and a few shots up on the bridge, we got some by the river and on the trails as well.  Seriously, such a great location.  

We did hair and makeup in Salida with a great makeup artist, Aneesa.  She gave Dani a really natural look with just enough glam for the camera.  

Once we got to the park we started under the bridge and got some super cool shots with the graffiti and the pillars. 

The rest of the session we tromped around the park and battled a few mosquitos, but ended up with an amazing final result.  

Meet Leivy! 2018 Senior | Turlock Senior Portrait Photographer

AAHHHH!!!  I'm excited to share these images with you guys!  Leivy and I did a session a while ago and I wanted to share when she started her senior year at Atwater High School.  I can't even tell you how easy Leivy was to work with.  Not only is she naturally SUPER gorgeous and incredibly photogenic, but she is such a sweet person.   I loved chatting with her as we ran around the Stanislaus State Campus.   And, as you can see from the image overload below, we so many gorgeous shots that it was difficult for me to even narrow them down.  

Leivy, I hope you have an INCREDIBLE senior year!  And thanks so much for working with me!
