Bay Area Senior Portraits

A few months ago we had the opportunity to shoot some Bay Area senior portraits with our friend Stephanie.  We managed to grab some great evening light while adventuring in and around the Embarcadero in San Francisco.  Sessions like these are lighthearted, authentic, and candid in nature.  They provide a great alternative to the traditional high school senior portrait.  We love getting the chance to document this exciting turning point for our young clients. Check out some of our other recent senior portrait work.

Small Business Headshots

A couple years ago we had the opportunity to work with Kyle Smitley, a local small business owner who founded a kids clothing company called Barley and Birch.  Kyle contacted us in need of some professional headshots and portraits for an upcoming article in Inc. Magazine.  Kyle was featured as one of the top 30 under 30 young entrepreneurs in America.  We were super excited to see one of our portraits featured on the Inc. website. Flash forward a few years, we recently heard that Kyle has moved back to the Midwest but she's still hard at work.  In a few months, she'll be opening the Detroit Achievement Academy, an awesome charter school in Detroit, Michigan.  Take a minute and check out her Indiegogo Campaign and learn all about how the Detroit Achievement Academy will change the landscape of public education.  Go Kyle!

Oakland Senior Portraits

School is out and Summer is here but before we roll into our busy wedding season we took a look back at our late Winter and Spring workload.  We realized that this past year brought us the opportunity to work with some awesome high school seniors.  We have always been into doing senior portrait sessions and this year had the chance to work with great folks from the far reaches of Contra Costa county and all throughout Berkeley and Oakland.  We approach these sessions in a candid fashion and always keep them lighthearted and fun.  We're looking forward to working with another round of young people next year.
