Caitlin

Caitlin's mom Becky, who I haven't seen in years hit me up to shoot Caitlin's senior pictures. This was my first senior session for the year and it couldn't have gone better. I was a bit worried about the harsh mid-day light at high noon on a gorgeous day. It all worked out. I put Becky to work holding the bounce, and she kicked butt. Got a good arm workout too in the crazy wind. Thanks for the help Becky.

Caitlin totally rocked and I was blown away by her amazing personality. Totally outgoing, laughing constantly, and willing to try just about anything. She even braved the chilly Monterey Bay ocean. By far the most fun I've had shooting a portrait session, and my best work yet in that area too, I think. Totally stoked on these and I know Becky & Caitlin will like them.

Thanks for taking a look. Leave me some love in the comments if you like.

Great job Caitlin!!!





Such a great natural smile that didn't go away all day.

















I love all the textures of the buildings on Ft. Ord











Took it inside an abandoned building to get some grunge and play with lighting a bit






These were taken with off camera flash and a flashlight, white balanced to the flashlight. I love how the flash showered the back wall in the blue light. This room was pitch black.




The biggest challenge of the day was getting her to not smile. So happy.










Caitlin was such a good sport. I asked her if she wanted to get in the water. She just looked at me with a look of excitement and willingness to try whatever. It was a long wet walk back to the car.

  3. Great job Mark. She has a gorgeous smile and I like how she rocked the pearls. The picture with the cowgirl hat...I love how the light comes through the hat and puts some small highlights on her nose. I look forward to seeing more.
