The Forest of Nisene Marks smells like bay laurel and old growth, and the hush in there gets people talking to each other instead of the camera.
Senior sessions are about letting the person show up, not the pose. We start with the safe shots, find what feels natural, and by the second location the shy smiles have turned into the real ones.
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)
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.
