Natalie, a "just because" session | Riverside Portrait Photographer

Natalie is a friend of Carrie's (the girl in the post right below this one!) - Carrie and I wanted to go out and shoot together so she asked Natalie to be our model. We had a great time just shooting for fun - I highly suggest that every photographer do this from time to time. And yeah, since my site forces me to choose a catagory, I put Natalie under "seniors" even though she's 27 :)

Kailyn | Just your basic photo shoot!

Kailyn is my nearly 16 year old cousin-by-blood but sister-by-choice :) We just wanted to go out and have some fun. I guess that's what you do when you have a photographer in the family. I drove up Salmon Falls Drive in El Dorado Hills for about 10 mins looking for a new place to shoot. It was already 7:15pm and I was worried about the sun going down behind the hills. I was looking for this park (that I actually think is on a road that runs parallel to Salmon Falls) but found this little gem instead, tucked right off of the road. I love spontaneity in photography. We just drove and I am so pleased with how the session turned out! Kailyn humored me and let me dress her up in my clothes and accessories. She rocks the serious face!
