ACA Class of 2010 – Jessica

admin — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 07:35:24 +0000

I was very excited to hear that Jessica wanted to do a senior portrait session. I think it’s a great time of life to capture through photography. We had a blast shooting near one of the many antique shops in Beaumont and then we found a great spot under the freeway. Jessica knew what she was doing in front of the camera and was incredibly easy to photograph. Her friend, Carissa tagged along to get some shots together as bonus, which I always welcome. Thanks, Jessica! Good luck this year!

Class of 2011, be sure to book your senior portrait sessions before the yearbook deadline! Send Jill an email to get on the calendar!

ACA Senior – Rachel

Rachel is graduating! Rachel and her family are world class folk. They are super involved with Redlands Christian School, Arrowhead Christian Academy, and The River Church. They are awesome baby-sitters. Our girls love going over to their place to play. And Jill and I don’t mind sending them every so often so that we can get away for an afternoon.

Rachel’s parents won this senior portrait session by outbidding everyone in the silent auction during ACA’s Cirque du ACA fundraiser. We had a great time in our session shooting in some really cool light. Congratulations, Rachel!

Senior – Danae, Round Two

It was a privilege for me to photograph Danae. As I mentioned before, Danae and her family have been part of our lives since the day we moved out to California. She even came out to Fargo, ND along with her mom and sisters to play the harp in our wedding. I’m so glad I got the opportunity to do something for them.

This was the last shot of the day and I think it’s my favorite.

Thanks for coming out and having a blast with me, Danae!

Senior – Danae Round 1

We’ve known Danae and her family since we moved out to California eight years ago. Jill taught Danae and her sisters piano lessons, and at one point the girls claimed that it was their favorite part of their day. Jill and I often think about the incredible people that are part of our lives. Over the past decade, this family has made it their mission to support young couples like us. They have made an indelible mark on an important part of our lives, and we are forever grateful to them.

With this in mind, it was such a privilege to be able to shoot Danae’s senior photos. I just can’t believe she’s a senior in high school!

Sneak Peak – Elisabeth’s Senior Shoot

Kyle’s Senior Photos Finale

len20 — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 08:11:00 +0000

It’s tough to find a full-time teaching position in February. I graduated from UND with a music education degree in December. I loaded up my Ford Explorer with as much as I cared about and headed Southwest to California where there was a girl waiting for me.

When I got here, I had nothing to do. There was only one reason for me to get up in the morning before 10:00 a.m. I had to teach a wild bunch of fifth-grade boys how to play drums. So I did, or at least I gave it a shot. They were crazy. It was like trying to tame an ant hill.

Kyle was one of those crazy fifth-graders seven years ago. At that time, we were sure that our adventure in California would last two, maybe three years. But here we are, seven years later taking Kyles senior portraits. And we wouldn’t trade it for anywhere else in the world.

Senior Shoot with Kyle

len20 — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 15:31:19 +0000

It was a joint effort between his mother and me to convince Kyle that he should take a Saturday afternoon to shoot some senior portraits. I was preparing myself to have to work hard to get some natural smiles and expressions from Kyle, but once we started shooting, Kyle turned on the inner model. He turned out to be a natural in front of the camera, and we had a great time!

We got a lot of great shots on Saturday. I’ll have a few more to show in the next post so stay tuned.
