Christine's Senior Portraits

Here is Christine, one of our awesome family friends and fantastic babysitter. She is graduating this year, and honored me with the opportunity to photograph her senior portraits. She wanted something traditional, yet not quite the same as every one else. Our approach was quite simple, really. Let's leave my studio and take a walk around several blocks here in downtown Monterey...and see what we come up with! We had fun, and her mom did too. It was refreshing for her mom to see us in action, a far cry from the traditional studio portraiture and posing. I really like to do my best to capture the essence of my clients, and not make them look like something that they're not. That's my style. Real. :)









I'm off to Los Angeles first thing tomorrow morning for a photographer conference with my partnered photo lab Pictage and will be gone for nearly a week. I'm also going down to San Diego to see some friends and make some new ones. All of this on my motorcycle...how am I going to transport my dry cleaned shirts? haha... I wish you all a great week, and look forward to random blog posts from my iphone. (I won't have my computer, but I'll survive I think.)
