Light & Shadow | Victoria's Senior Photos

Okay, so we hesitate to rave about our own work, but it's hard not to right now – we just love everything about this photo – the door, the house, the steps, the shadows, the highlights. And, above all, the girl. Classic beauty.

Just starting the edits ...

But we are lovin' our shots from Forest Park last weekend of two Eureka Wildcats. Here's a quick glimpse of high school seniors, Connor and Matt. More to come!

someone with whom you can think out loud...

... That's the definition of a good friend.
Friends Kyle and Meggie of Eureka High were tentatively scheduled to have a few photos taken together last week. Unfortunately, work and weather got in the way -- so it only makes sense that we post their photos together to make up for it!


We couldn't be more grateful to the family friend of Kyle and Meggie who invited us to use their gorgeous property as a backdrop. The tire swing photo was made just outside their beautiful home... Looks like something out of a fairy tale, we think.

All five photos were shot with one off-camera Alien Bees B800 studio light.

eureka, that's a beautiful reflection.

Photo tip #1: If something catches your eye and you think, "Hmmm. That could make an interesting photograph..." then stop and make it happen. Even a dusty store window like this one in Eureka has potential.


Of course, it helps when you've got a beautiful person like Meggie to photograph.
*Technical specs: 100mm, f/3.5, 1/100, ISO 320.
