Seniors

Allison writes, sings, plays guitar, and has been playing upright with the Folsom Lake Symphony for two years which is quite an accomplishment for anyone, but also someone her age. She’s got the whole package including dedication. I can’t wait to see where she takes these coming years, because it will be really cool. Watch…and listen.

Collin graduates from Vista del Lago in Folsom this May and then he is headed to Grand Canyon University in Arizona to study Physical Therapy this fall. I photographed his brother Ethan a couple years back who is also at Grand Canyon U. Collin played soccer for Vista del Lago for all four of his high school years, and quite successfully I might add. His senior team won the San-Joaquin Section Title and Collin was awarded “All-League Player” and also Most Valuable Offensive player for his team. His parents said they had a blast watching him play. I bet- I…

Of course, this Cal Poly Environmental Science major (to be) can easily become “one” with these beautiful branches of an old fallen tree in a field of late afternoon light. Kaitlin is as kind as they come and those green eyes and gorgeous whispy locks frame that beautiful smile thAt sets you at ease the moment you meet her. Ember (my assistant) and I had such a great time playing in the late afternoon light with Kaitlin and her mom. Honestly, I think being in the creative flow AND playing in the late afternoon light is my most favorite place…

What fun it was connecting with the Roberts family again, this time for Liam’s senior photographs. Back in 2019 I photographed his sister, Phoebe. Liam was just as photogenic and charming. He brought with him a water polo ball and a carefree, super positive attitude. His smile and laugh float comfortably alongside his easy-going personality. While admittedly a little nervous about all the changes next year, I have no doubt that he’ll settle right into college life. He graduates from Ponderosa this May and will attend Austin College in Texas to study computer science. He hopes to compete on their…

It’s that time of the year again. Spring is here and with it brings the Class of 2022- this time, it’s Kayla who is excited about graduation. A little nervous at first, to be in front of the camera, like many…but about 20 minutes in we had our rhythm dialed in and I saw the moment she started relaxing and having fun with it. Kayla’s such a natural beauty with a kind, sweet and gentle personality. At Pondo she plays soccer and rugby and loves to spend time with her friends. Next year she plans to attend GSU (Grand Canyon…

So far, Ember and I have been out for two senior sessions….one of the perks I imagine of having a mom who is a photographer. The first session was in downtown Sac with her good friend Fiona and then we went out again to Sly Park Lake while I was testing out my new camera, a Z6ii, mirrorless. The next session I promised her is with her famous and spoiled cat, Trouble…so stay tuned. It’s sure to be a quick one. I can’t believe my youngest is now a high school senior and graduating this May from CUP in Placerville.…

Guest Blogger: Ember Soleil Leddy While I first met Fiona when we were little, this year we became great friends. I started attending Charter University Prep, as does Fiona, and she made me feel welcomed immediately. Fiona does that with all of her friends. She makes it a priority to have the people she cares about feel comfortable and at peace. Or she makes them laugh so hard it feels like their ribs are cramping… She is the kind of person who puts aside everything she is dealing with to go out of her way to ask if you’re okay.…

Sojourner (Soji) graduates from Union Mine’s Virtual Academy this May and is planning to study abroad in France for her final semester. Her love for exploring the unknown is fitting given the meaning of her name: “traveler”. She plans to live with a French family during her time there, fully immersing herself in the language and culture. Arriving at the photoshoot, the Magnolia Ranch scenery captivated us all. There was a light fog settled on the ground which we were all excited about. Soji wanted a cloudy and rainy shoot, and this gave the portraits a fairytale aesthetic. Her black…

After the previous winter storm had settled down a bit for all of us living in the mountains, I met up with Lina and her parents, Art and Catherine at High Hill Ranch for some senior pics. We trudged around in the snow looking for beautiful light. Lina graduates from Charter Connections Academy in Placerville this May. She enjoys graphic design, reading, video games, and anime and plans to go to Junior College first and then travel to Japan to study graphic design and Japanese.  Congrats Lina and thank you!
