Senior Portraits at The Forest of Nisene Marks

Redwoods have a way of making everyone feel small in the best way. The senior walked into The Forest of Nisene Marks and the scale did the rest.

My rule with seniors: the real smile shows up in the first 10 to 15 seconds of a setup, so I'm ready for it before they are. We bank the safe shots fast, then spend the rest of the hour on the fun stuff.

One school year from now these photos are on a graduation table. The Forest of Nisene Marks gave them a backdrop worth keeping.

Location: The Forest of Nisene Marks (Aptos)

The whole shoot, not just the highlights

Here’s a few highlights from this shoot. Most photographers only ever show a static portfolio of their very best images. I think every potential client should see more than that: the full shoots themselves. Nothing sets expectations like seeing multiple sessions at one location in different weather, times of day, and seasons. We get amazing photos no matter what, and we’re not afraid to show you.
