She may be a 2011 high school senior, but Claire’s an old fashioned girl at heart. A cup of chai and a book of Lord Byron’s Poems or a seat at a piano is all she needs to keep her company. And maybe add in a few texts to and from her friends and facebooking from her shiny white Macbook…it’s still the twenty-first century!
Claire was visiting from Colorado for her cousin’s wedding and we managed to snatch a few cute pictures before she left. I wasn’t kidding about the chai and book of poems!
When I opened the box, I gasped in excitement. The mini albums were even better than I expected! The leather was softer, the pictures brighter, the size cuter! My sister and I pulled into a coffee shop for some chai and wi-fi carrying along the albums to examine them closer. Everyone who saw them asked what they were and exclaimed about their awesomeness! I’m so proud to add these to our line of albums. At 4″x4″ and printed on real photographic paper, they’re the perfect size for seniors. Moms will love tucking these in their purse. Brides now have a size to carry around that will exactly match their larger album. As for me, well, I will always have one or two or three of these around just so I can stroke that buttery leather.
So cute!
The printing is beautiful and runs from one side to another with no ugly center seams.
It’s hard to see because my fingers were busy with the camera, but the pages open 180 degrees with no stress to the binding.
Can’t decide on which pictures to have printed? Order a mini album for 20 pages of picture goodness!
You don’t really need a good reason to have a portrait session, but graduating without one would be a crime. Emi is a 2010 senior in Loyalton and long time friend from Christian Youth In Action camp. If you can’t tell from the pictures, she is one of the sweetest, most outgoing people I know!
This was her grandfather’s blanket before he passed away. I love how Emi brought things to her session that were special and just so…her!
Fall…the most wonderful time of the year!
She’s a Braves fan through the thick and thin.
Ah, these are my favorite! Old books…Emi has awesome taste!
Ready for college, no?
The red name tag is a tribute to all the years spent at Christian Youth In Action camp–she’s logged a lot of hours at that camp!
When my youngest sister graduated from high school, we only had time to quickly go out one afternoon and take some pictures for wallets to stuff in her invitations. I promised her we’d go back out and get more pictures when we had more time. I just didn’t tell her how long it would be before it actually happened. Well, here we are, over a year later. You can’t say I don’t keep my promises! This is the beauty of “Just Because” sessions. You don’t need a reason to get your picture taken. Life changes so quickly. The time to capture this season of life is now…because…well, just because.
Old Town Nevada City has some of the quaintest shops and cutest houses.
It also has the coolest neighborhood vegetable stand!
Aren’t these sisters such beautiful girls? I worked with Mriah this past summer in CEF and randomly met her again at Starbucks a couple of weeks ago when I was meeting a client. While chatting, she found out why I was there and told me she had been just about to go home and start researching photographers to take her senior portraits! Next thing you know she’s calling me, and we’re making plans to meet at Empire Mine. But this time the session would include her older sister, Stara, who missed out on portraits her senior year and is now in her junior year at Sac State. Good things comes to those who wait, though, as I think their sister picture is especially cute!
