Jordan’s Senior Session – Twentynine Palms Senior Photography

I’ve had the pleasure to watch this young lady throughout the years in many different areas of her life.  I’ve seen her as a great friend to my daughter, I’ve watched her grow as a soccer player and as a leader.  She has big plans ahead as she moves through her senior year.  When Jordan arrived she wasn’t super excited about having her picture taken yet she was most definitely photogenic and made for an easy session.  We spent some time at a few locations to highlight some of her favorites, the Wildcat’s Soccer Team, the Bull’s all set in the town she grew up in.  I can’t wait to continue to see this young lady grow and do amazing things.  Thank you for allowing me to capture this exciting time through photographs!!

Blankenhip Senior Session – Twentynine Palms Photographer

Occasionally I have a senior who shows up simply because mom said to; usually my boys and this session wasn’t any different but we went out and made it happen.  Ryan was a great sport and adventured around with me so we could make his momma happy.  The result was lots of great images for his family to enjoy during this special time – senior year is that time when time simply flies by so I am always honored to capture a piece of it!!  Thank you Blankenships!

Talent and Beauty – Taylor’s Senior Session

Another beautiful senior session photographed in our scenery that never gets enough credit. Taylor is a well-rounded adventurous young lady. I have had the pleasure to watch her as she shined across the stage as an experienced and funny actress. We have all heard her voice across the radio waves and she is a talented cross country runner. We had an extremely fun session while she was a good sport in the cold and windy desert weather. Taylor’s mom is going to have a hard time choosing favorites as this girl gave me more shots than I could have ever asked for!!

Have I said lately how blessed I am to be invited into people’s lives to capture the exciting moments they have? If not let me tell you I am beyond blessed. This young man made the big change many of our military kiddos do; he changed schools just before beginning his senior year. In spirit of loving his circumstances and both schools we photographed his new home with some pieces of his old. With a letterman jacket littered with athletic patches Sam has made himself at home here in Twentynine Palms as a cross country runner and soon to be track athlete. We enjoyed fusing both old and new together in this session as we explored the beautiful Joshua Tree National Park, shared aspects of his love and future – The Marine Corps, found his dad so we could capture the workmanship of both in their love of an oldie but goodie. This session was packed with amazing elements. Thank you Robinson family for allowing me to memorialize these moments in time for your family!

The Bell Boys – Twentynine Palms and our Adventures

I am super excited to blog this session. When mom and I met to plan her twin boys senior session she read me the warning label; most moms with boys do. They will cooperate but they are less than excited to spend a morning in front of the lens. None the less we talked about their personalities, interests and activities….. boy did we have an eventful, personality filled session planned. Both boys are swimmers for the high school but with it being winter that wasn’t one of our options so instead we began our session with some green at Lucky Park. I have to say upon meeting Jacob and Jeremy I was ready for a session filled with great photographs, lots of smiles and some adventurous new locations! They did not disappoint. While we hit some of the regular hotspots in town we also hiked to a small secret location where Jeremy had spent some of his summer time while in an internship with the Joshua Tree National Park. We hiked in, found more gorgeous locations and set to capturing a small piece of Jeremy’s history. Next on our list was to commemorate Jacob’s hard work as a Fire Explorer with the Twentynine Palms’ Fire Department. They were nice enough to let us in so Jacob could show off some of his dreams and memories; they also shared soot so we could catch him in some realistic images. These two were super fun and we captured so many great images that I may have overshared but enjoy! I think by the time we were done they were okay with being in front of the lens.

Meet Zach, he is a Yucca Valley High School Senior!  His mom and I spent some time planning and working out schedules for this session, it turned out great.  Zach plays baseball, rides dirt bikes, and is learning the guitar.  He was a fun and energetic young man to work with.  He is ready for graduation and plans to head off to college in the fall.  We snuck in a family session while we were out there and came up with some great shots of him with his brothers and mama!

Paige, Wildcat Extraordinaire – Twentynine Palms Senior Portrait Photographer

One more high school senior, meet Paige!  This wildcat plays tennis, basketball, and softball; in all her spare time this beauty is a firefighter explorer.  After high school she will be attending college to continue her passion for fire fighting and helping people.  Her mom and I have known each other for a few years now so it has been a pleasure to watch Paige grow up and what fun us three girls had while traipsing through the basin looking for great spots.  Paige picked one of my favorite places to start her shoot, the Whitewater Preserve and after that they were good sports when we stopped at random locations!  I hope they are as pleased with the results as I am.  Congratulations to yet one more great Twentynine Palms Senior!

Jack’s Graduating, Baseball, Select Choir, Soccer and more….. Twentynine Palms Photographer visits Joshua Tree

Another awesome and individual senior session.  This one was unique because we shot the entire session in Jack’s backyard.  I’m a bit jealous of the location, it was gorgeous and versatile.  This is the third sibling in the house that I have had the pleasure of capturing a senior moment with so of course I was super excited for this session.  Then we added the classic car what more could a photographer ask for, oh that’s right a great subject 🙂  Jack and I bummed around looking for different settings and capturing places that are fond to his childhood.  Like the climbing he has done with Ranger up that very hill for years.  The view of the valley was another important catch for Jack and of course, baseball, his love so we needed to add that to our session.  Another fun time photographed and memorialized!!

This is Heather, she is a high school senior at Twentynine Palms High School.  She is an athlete and a scholar; she is the Valedictorian for the graduating class of 2014.  I have had the pleasure of getting know Heather through a series of photographic opportunities with her family over the last year so I was excited when her mom contacted me to do her senior portraits.  Heather will be off to Arizona in the fall and I know we will continue to hear about the great things she is yet to accomplish!
