A Starbucks Holiday !

I'm so excited for the new ornaments ! Can't wait to get my whole collection out ! 

A really fun SENIOR session !!!

 

I had so much fun at this session.  Kristina is a senior at Visions in Education and is excited to be graduating soon !   She was so mature and just had the sweetest personality.  I knew her already from shooting her sisters wedding and she's very easy to just be around.  When she asked if we could bring out her grandpas car I already knew we would have a WINNER!!!  This car and her red toms just completed the session !  We finished the session at her family nursery, out on A. Street/Dixon Avenue, Lemuria Nursery.  It's a family run business and they are just the nicest !! 

Beautiful Family Session !!!

 I had such a fun afternoon taking these family photos !! It's not the first time a few of them have been in front of my camera.  Hopefully it won't be the last !!  Ended up with the most beautiful light I could ask for !!

Holiday Mini Sessions are coming !!!

Junior Model Reps - Jumpstart !

I thought a fun way to get a jumpstart on my model program for upcoming seniors was to get the help from some of my local friends.  This year I'm just doing a "trial run" for grades 8-11 but next year there will be an application process for grades 8-11 just like my "Senior Model Reps" get to apply for.   I have known these girls for quite sometime and I knew they would love to help me out.  What teen girl doesn't like to be in front of the camera ?  Flowers are all the rage right now so we had some fun adding them to our session ! This session featured Gina, Nikki and Baylee.  There is one freshman and two sophomores.  I'm looking forward to a few more sessions with them over the next school year to really showcase who THEY ARE !!  We have already been brainstorming !!  
Of course we had to mix it up a bit and channel our inner "Sassy Grunge" look and most importantly.....lots of selfies were taken !!!

Thanks girls for all your help !!  Be on the look out in the next few weeks for your custom iPhone photo app and more sassy fun photos !!

Casa Roble High School Senior

Marisela's mom contacted me through Facebook and booked a senior session with me.  She's a senior and almost to the finish line at Casa Roble High School.  She did an awesome job with her outfits, makeup and adorable hair style !  We did the session here in Dixon at a family ranch.  It had perfect areas all over to take photos !!  I will be finished up her final edit in the next week but loved this teaser shot of her.  Can you say BEAUTIFUL !!

Senior Model Rep Program !

I'm so excited to finally launch my Senior Model Rep program !  I have researched it for months and finally put something together that I think will really work for both the models & myself ! I will take at least 2 reps from high schools in the following towns: Woodland, Dixon, Davis, Vacaville, Fairfield, Rio Vista and Winters.  This is a great chance for them to get their senior photos at a extremely reduced price and have fun taking the photos !!  There are lots of PERKS & FUN stuff they can earn and do.  I'm hosting a hair & makeup class in June and I can't wait for that !!  They can apply at www.stephriedel.com and the deadline for applications is May 1st.
