Senior Portrait Session : Angela

Angela is a girl that has been part of my life ever since she was born. It is crazy to think that 18 years have passed and she is now about to graduate from high school. Angela and my sister have been pretty much inseparable since childhood and now they will both be moving to the same city, in the same apartment, undergoing the adventure that is adulthood (even though, at eight years their senior, I still don’t consider myself an adult). Angela is athletic, tall, easy going and absolutely gorgeous. After seeing the pictures I took of my sister and a fellow friend, she asked me if I could do hers as well. The session took place literally a couple of hours after they had finished high school, forever. The light was perfect and after going through the hell that is our local Wal-Mart, it was great to relieve some stress and taking some fantastic pictures. Usually I take a couple of days to finish editing pictures, but considering I have nothing else to do at home and because I was having so much fun doing it, I finished editing her pictures in a couple of hours.

It was hard to choose favorites out of ALL the pictures we took, but here are definitely some of mine:

Fembots Have Feelings Too

Friend: Do you think you will have problems with guys hitting on your sister in South America?

Me: Um, YEAH. Doubt it will be a problem though. She will cut a fool.

Friend: Well at least you don’t have to worry about anyone hitting on You.

Me: Um, rhymes with Witch.

I’m going to need to pack a taser or/and a samurai sword.

Makeup By Nancy – Cynthia

No words really to explain how good Cynthia is at being behind the camera.

She can give the craziest “Mess with me and I will FUCK YOU UP” looks I have ever seen in my life.

Love it.

Makeup By Nancy – Anais

This girl is absolutely hilarious. Maybe I thought so because she cusses almost as much as I do. I l love the shape of her eyes. After doing her senior portraits, she definitely was comfortable with my style, which made her comfortable behind the lens. Whatever expression I asked her to do, she knew immediately what I wanted. But, in the end, she knew just to have fun with it and she wasn’t nervous in the slightest.

My sister’s friends are ridiculously beautiful.

Makeup By Nancy – Paulina

She was definitely the most self-conscious of the bunch. Looking at the pictures you can’t really see it though. Her smile is ridiculous. I think she laughed the most during this shoot, which proves that she was having a good time.

It is crazy how ridiculously gorgeous my sister’s friends are as well. Looking at these pictures you would never be able to tell that they are all under 18 years old. Good thing I don’t have any more sisters, because I feel like I would get tired really easily chasing all these high school boys with baseball bats.

I wonder if her brother actually does that…

Makeup By Nancy – Zabrina

Zabrina was the shyest one, by far. She was the last to go because she was really nervous, and didn’t think she would be able to make the expressions I was asking of the girls. Well, she was wrong. While she did ask for guidance at some points, I think the combination of exhaustion (from shooting all day) and her friends cheering her on definitely helped her out in the end.

Her smile is ridiculous, she is beyond gorgeous and if you look closely you can see that she has a form of Heterochromia (when you have two different colored eyes).

Makeup by Nancy of course, because she is Brillz.

I find it funny how much fun I had with these high school girls. Nancy said it best: “Ugh, it was running around for 8 hours and so many pictures, but I want to do it again!”

Truth.

Starstrukk Was Definitely Written For Someone

We only had time to get in one look and one location, but we will definitely have more in the future. Considering how much I travel back to Arizona. A lot of people have been asking to see the whole set. Well, since Cynthia probably doesn’t mind you can see the whole set HERE.

A Single Crack Separating…….?

I’ve been told once again that I need to start a photo blog. One that just focuses on photos and nothing else.

Hmmmmm…maybe?

Juxtaposing Ugly with Pretty is my photo obsession at the moment. It works quite well.

Senior Portrait Shoot – Anais

UGH. I haven’t had a cold this bad in a while. My own coughing woke me up this morning. I am also breaking out like crazy, probably due to all the greasy food I have been eating. Arizona is trying to destroy me. So why did I delay my flight back to San Francisco? Because I am stupid, that’s why.

Anyway, since I am up eve before my sister gets ready for school, I figured I should treat you to some nice photos. These are from a senior portrait photoshoot I had with one of Cynthia’s friends. It turned out to be a lot of fun and according to Cynthia she is super happy with the results, as was her mother. The shoot in itself was a lot of fun. She came over early with many outfit options and we pretty much winged all the locations. She was a natural model, but I did have Cynthia there with me to make her more comfortable.

Definitely lots of fun and now she won’t have those boring senior portraits they take at the schools with those awkward poses and bookshelves. He he.

Having That BoomBoom Pow

This shoot was definitely fun.
Nancy’s makeup is always fantastic. Cynthia always knows how to get the look down.

Definitely will have fun editing these.
