Twentynine Palms Photographer {Before and After}

2018-01-28_0001

There is so much that happens behind the scenes for a photographer after the session is over.  The desired affect is to get the image s close to perfect within your camera but there are some magical things that are done right here on my computer.  Above is my nephew – who of course I feel is perfect in every way – as I think about his parents hanging these images on their wall I want there to be a simplicity in looking at his details at the tiny things that are so precious while he is this itty bitty.  Through editing I simply want to remove distractions and create a cohesive image.

If you watched my work and the direction of it over the years I hope you have continued to see what truly matters, connection.  I want there to be a connection in every image I deliver so that is what I strive for.  When I bring the images home and look at them on my computer screen I want to feel the connection between the subjects or with me and the camera.  Once I have that I already have a beautiful image through editing I just hope to enhance what is already there.

Editing is as much of the art form as the time behind my camera.  It takes time and passion to create the final photograph that I deliver but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Kelsey’s Senior Session with Memories by Tasha Photography – Yucca Valley Photographer

Twentynine Palms Senior Photographer - Yucca Valley SeniorPhotographer - Miehe

This is such an exciting time in our youths’ lives.  They are preparing for their tomorrows, enjoying their todays, and trying to figure it all out along the way.  This beautiful young lady was so much fun to photograph.  We wondered around the Morongo Preserve and Pioneertown to capture these fantastic images.  She wasn’t too sure about being the focus of the camera at first but as you can see she was a natural.  Both beautiful inside and out she is looking forward to her future all while serving God.  A wonderful soul.

Kevin Class of 2017 with Memories by Tasha Photography – Twentynine Palms Photographer

I strive in each session to tell a story, to create a lasting memory of this time in someone’s history.  Senior sessions are a chance for that young adult to express themselves as they are learning about who they are and who they want to be.  It is an in-between two paradigms in time for the senior and for the parents.  A time of great hope and sorrow.  When I get the chance to capture this for a senior and their parents it is a great privilege.

Kevin and I set out in the morning with some ideas but with no certain direction.  We found ourselves visiting Lucky Park where he spent many hours in the pool as a swimmer who has achieved many awards.  We spent some time at the iconic 29 Palms Inn, photographing near the fall colors and only natural body of water in Twentynine Palms.  Kevin wanted a couple of images taken with the metal art sign that decorates our highway and honors our city’s namesake.  Lastly we climbed some rocks and captured his personality amongst the beauty of the desert.  We even played with his hot rod mustang and added it into a few images too.

Kevin is an avid swimmer. He was ready to represent his high school and class with his letterman jacket.  Also an appearance his ASB shirt.  We even took sometime to sport his school colored beanie to add a little bit of teenager into our session.

In June I get to hang with Kevin and his family as he walks the stage to receive his diploma.  Such an exciting time in life for all!

{ Laura and Kids } Twentynine Palms Family Photographer

What do you get when you have a mom that just wants some nice family photos but two teenaged boys that aren’t so sure?  Great family photos!  We went out and had a little fun while capturing these three together.  Laura and her boys were here visiting for a holiday weekend and wanted to memorialize these moments in time before they headed off to some big adventures.  Moving, changing schools, and just big life changes are ahead for them; I wish you all the luck and I hope you enjoy all these wonderful images.

{ Hailee’s Senior Session } Twentynine Palms Senior Photographer

Hailee is a recent high school graduate ready to make her way in this world.  Always exciting for me to capture this time in life so I was glad we were able to get our schedules together.  We traveled through out the Basin to capture some desert scenes and some green.  I think both settings gave us a perfect mix with Hailee’s great smile for some amazing senior shots!Twentynine Palms Photographer - Yucca Valley Photographer- Twentynine Palms Senior Photography - Yucca Valley Senior Photography - Hailee

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!!
