  Well folks…I am back!  It’s 2008.  Spring is around the corner, the
  day light lingers in the horizon, days are getting warmer and I don’t
  mean global warming either. =)  What else is better than a fresh dose
  of senior portrait sessions by yours truly   Might I add this had to
  be one of my favorite senior portrait shoots so far and Ashlee and I
  had a ton of fun.  Ashlee is a smart, talented and definitely hip girl
  to say the very least.  She happens to be a photographer herself.  We
  actually ran into some random places to shoot some abstract work at no
  trespassing areas haha.  I think thats what makes part of photo shoots
  so much fun is breaking a few rules and trying new things.  I’ll have
  to post some of the old barn stuff and farm equipment we ran into along
  the way.  And no I did not bring couches to the photo shoots haha.  You
  never know what you might find along the side of the road these days. 
  Hey, we found two couches…go figure.  =)  I had so many images I
  liked I couldn’t decide which ones to put up!  So here is a bunch!

  I think one of the
  key aspects to great portraits is getting to know the person.  I don’t
  believe you can photograph someone well without really knowing or
  getting to know them.  I am all about edge, style, flare, freestyle
  photography when it comes to senior portraits.  I remember when I had
  my senior portraits in high school with a photographer and they were
  the lamest photos I probably have.  I looked like a idiot haha and
  don’t even comment on that….just plea the 5th hahaha.  Basically, I
  didn’t like any of the photos because I didn’t feel like they
  represented ME and WHO I WAS!  It is absolutely crucial for my clients
  to be involved in the photo experience because its not just about
  pictures.  Its about life and people.  I think some of the best parts
  of my photo shoots is just hanging and talking with them and friends
  who might come along.  It’s one things to be a photographer but
  ultimately its just fun to be real with them.  I never have the
  attitude of a photo shoot being a job because it isn’t.  It’s my
  passion!  So who is down to have some fun?  I’m currently still booking
  senior portrait and photo shoot sessions. 

  On another awesome
  note, March 15th, 2008 kick off my first wedding of 2008.  Had tons of
  fun at this one too in the developing city of Lincoln, CA.  Stay tuned
  for a few photos from that later on.

  Studio is coming along
  very slooooowly.  I finally got a table in there and a few other things
  but not much.  I still have to post up some pics of the place.  It’s
  going to be awesome!  =)  Had my first client meeting in the new place
  with nothing in it hahaha this past Sunday with Wendy and Greg!  =) 
  Can’t wait to shoot your guys wedding.  Thanks so much for making the
  drive to meet up with me. 

  I hope you all enjoy this set.  Thanks for reading.

  Cheers,
  Steve
