high school senior | kellen | san francisco, ca

I just love taking senior photos.  When I showed up for this session, Kellen was dressed in her favorite ripped jeans, flip-flops, knit top, and a pair of stunning earrings she borrowed from her mom. This babe--can I say babe? :)--wanted a casual laid back shoot in San Francisco. Perfect!  Hanging out and photographing her was not only a breeze but a ton of fun.  I learned that she wants to be a Kindergarten or 1st grade teacher and plans on doing her senior project related to teaching. Talk about a reality check - she considers Pearl Jam "classic rock." Kellen, You are an amazing, beautiful young woman.  And don't ever lose that laid back, easy going confidence. :) xoxo, Stacey

Senior Portrait: Nicole, Lafayette, CA

Nicole is a senior at a Lafayette high school.  She is an incredible young woman with an amazing mind and heart as well as a great sense of style.  In her bedroom, she had a wall plastered with image clippings from various fashion and other magazines (see pic below.)  It helped me get inspired for her session. :) She also had a life-sized cardboard cutout of Jacob--for all you Team Jacob fans.  Nicole has this beautiful smile but I also discovered she has a striking serious side.  I loved photographing her!
