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.

Zach’s ready for Graduation – Yucca Valley Photographer

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 Trevon’s senior session.  This young man is known for his fashion sense and design so his session was tailored to showcase his personality, his love of the desert he grew up in, and some of his designs and fashion ideas.  This was a fun session with a different flair.  We started of in the Monument with a few family images.  We traveled to several other locations to add to the backdrops of the day but all were a piece of where this young man calls home.

Scott was all smiles through out his session and he has one of those smiles that is contagious.  We traveled to several locations through out 29 to include a new request for me; his grand parents house.  Scott wanted to include their home in his session to memorialize them as part of his senior year.  This awesome young man plays tennis, sings in the Select Choir who he will be traveling to New York with soon and he acts too.  I recently had the pleasure of watching him in the high school’s musical; oh did I mention he also took 1st place in the talent show!

Bailey always looks well put together and this day was of course no different.  She is a beautiful young lady inside and out.  We picked a couple of outdoor locations that would offer great colors and texture so we started at the Big Canyon Morongo Preserve.
