Anyone can do a model for a day shoot.  They are so fun and definitely pictures you will love forever!

San Diego High School Senior Photographer | Hayley, Jodie, & Ann

In the last few months I have decided to narrow my focus in photography to families because I love photographing families and all their interactions and cuteness and love.

But I also LOVE photographing high school seniors.  I begged my parents to send me to modeling school when I was a teen… begged.  They finally did and I got to do a model shoot and I was so happy.  I didn’t even care about the modeling part, I just wanted to do a photo shoot.   At one time in my 5 majors career of college, I was a fashion design major.  But I couldn’t draw worth anything and so I quit and moved onto social sciences or something in a completely different direction.  Many other things contribute to my love of fashion photography but with that…

I am so happy to announce Photography by Alison:  High School Seniors.  And to start it off, here is a model shoot with three friends complete with make up artist, hair and styling (done by another Allison and awesome friend).  I don’t have all the details together nor is my website for seniors ready but I know these three girls are dying to see something from our session so I thought I would put a post together.  I actually have a much bigger post that I want to do from this session but that will have to wait until I have everything ready.

I would die and go to heaven (I’m pretty sure) if I had a picture like this of me at 17 or wait, 40… 40 would be better to have a picture like this.  So expected at 17;)

San Diego Child & Family Photography | La Jolla, day 2

The second day of photo sessions was down on the beach just north of Wind and Sea in La Jolla.  It was a cold and kind of wet weekend but just dry enough and bright enough for perfect beach photos.  I actually do not like sunny days for photo shoots at the beach.   Overcast with a glow is ideal.  So this set of sessions was a little different than Saturday’s.  I photographed a couple of families, one mom who’s son couldn’t make it decided to come herself which is such and awesome idea (every mom should have great images of herself), a birthday boy, a family who was going to the hospital the next day to have their second little boy (congratulations you guys), and some darn cute kids.

I also couldn’t pick just one so there are at least two from each session.  I love love love location shooting.  So I definitely felt more in my element on the beach. But I think both sessions went pretty great.  Here’s day two:

dear & yonder = beautiful

My sister Tiffany just put the trailer to her women’s surf movie on their site.  She has been working on this movie for almost 2 years.   But Tiffany’s trailer to her movie??  It looks like such a beautiful movie.  I can’t wait.  And the stories of the women she has in the movie are amazing.  I will post when her tour starts because you don’t want to miss it.

Her husband, Thomas Campbell just started his tour of his third surf movie, “The Present” which is beautiful.  I could have watched it over and over and plan to as soon as the DVD comes out.  But Thomas’ tour is still going on so check out if it is coming soon to your area here.  It’s in San Francisco this weekend.

Go watch their trailers.  So Great!
