ALLISON'S SENIOR PORTRAITS LIVERMORE, CA - FOOTHILL HIGH SCHOOL
FOOTHILL HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR PORTRAITS PLEASANTON, CA
When I met Allison, a Pleasanton, California class of 2023 senior, I was ecstatic. She and her family were recent transplants from Kansas and had been embracing their new lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. I had so many questions for her and couldn’t wait for Allison to tell me allllll the things about life in another state vs California, what they had seen and done since moving here, and of course every detail about what she envisioned for her perfect senior portrait session.

For her senior photos Allison chose two of my favorite locations. One is located near a verdant creek and the other is on a hilltop which is the perfect setting for a golden hour portrait session.
During her style consult we talked in depth about her interests, what props she may want to bring, clothing options, and created an in-depth plan for her senior portrait session to ensure she felt prepared for her big day. Allsion is the first senior amongst her three other siblings so she and her mom had lots of questions about what to expect with senior photos. I love when seniors bring along questions for their style consult. Not only does it give us the opportunity to really build that foundation of a relationship, but it also allows me to put their mind at ease and share this the excitement of this experience with them.

Allison plays soccer and that was something she wanted to incorporate into her East Bay senior photos. We included her cleats and her cherished soccer ball. This ball, which has been with her many years, was her first since she graduated to an adult size ball. The wear and tear is a visible representation of how cherished it is. I loved that it has a plethora of stories to tell. Although she has a tremendous affection for playing soccer, Allison told me she just wants to play intramural soccer in college rather than on a university team. This will allow her time to enjoy the multitude of experiences college has to offer rather than solely focusing on soccer.

Although she has enjoyed her time in California, Allison said she misses knowing where everything is. I feel that! The San Francisco Bay Area is such a vast and sprawling region and our traffic doesn’t make than any easier lol! She is hoping to go to college somewhere in the Midwest that is closer to her home state of Kansas. Allison and her family have done limited exploring since moving here with the exception of soccer. Her mom said they have seen every soccer field in our area, haha! One thing Allison and her family were looking forward to was a trip to Tahoe. I don’t blame them and secretly wanted to stow away in their luggage!
GRANADA HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR PORTRAITS, LIVERMORE, CA
We talked quite a bit about traveling. They now have me wanting to take a summer trip to Vail, which is a family favorite destination. They go most summers and enjoy taking in the GoPro Games which is a festival of adventure sports, art and music. I am so intrigued by this festival and will be adding it my Vail list. Allison and her family seem to be quite adventurous too. While in Vail they also enjoy horseback riding and white water rafting in the summer and skiing in the winter.
I had to pepper Allison and her mom with lots of questions regarding Kansas. It is the one state from Texas all the way to North Dakota that I have yet to travel to. Suffice to say that is a box I am desperate to check off my list. Freddy’s ice cream is a hands down must-visit and I am to try their chocolate ice cream with cookie dough. No one will have to twist my arm to do that lol! Tornadoes sound really scary. They typically have a big one at least once a year and had one in 2021 that arrived without warning. This California girl will probably stick to her earthquakes. Two other recommendations were a municipal airport restaurant where you can watch the airplanes land and take off (so fun!) and the Cowboy Inn Saloon. I am thrilled and grateful to now have some Kansas highlights to add to my travel list :).
MONTE VISTA HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR PORTRAITS, DANVILLE, CA
Prior to her session Allison and her mom did lots of shopping. Is there a better excuse for a mother-daughter shopping day than your senior portraits?!? They hit the outlets and found several fabulous outfits. Let me tell you, we utilized lots of them. All these different outfits gave them tremendous variety in their images. Unable to narrow it down to four outfits, they brought lots of clothes to Allison’s senior portrait session to see what would work best once we were on location. Everything was so cute even I had a hard time narrowing them down! We picked items that Allison loved most, made her feel confident, and what worked with the settings were in. The pink long sleeved dress really popped against the green backdrop. The green linen dress from Aerie was so fun (and it has pockets!) I ended up buying myself not one, but two.

It was an absolute joy getting to know Allison and her mom and sharing the senior portrait experience with both of them. I still need to try her favorite Starbucks order, the pink drink. Hopefully it brings me as much happiness as it brings her. In the meantime I am still savoring all those gorgeous images of her and the magical portrait session we created to celebrate this milestone year.
