One of the things I try and focus on in my senior sessions is capturing sights familiar to the area; little signs and symbols of where you were and what was special about that place--things you might miss once you're gone and off in college in a different part of the state, or a different state all together. For this session, we focused on all things California and Yolo County: shots in front of Putah Creek, among golden poppies and other California wildflowers, wrapped in the blooms of a western redbud and on the train tracks which connected early Davis with the rest of a growing California. I love this approach, because in the Great Debate we photographers have over how to make a senior session special and unique, this is one of my favorites. Surround your subject in all the things which shaped them, and just see how it brings out their character and most unique qualities.

    Shoot type: 30 minute mini-session Location: Wildhorse Greenbelt @ Green Meadows, Davis, CA Blossoms and bubbles! That was the theme of this family shoot. Nothing brings out the smiles in photo-shy kids like bubbles and play, and this flower-filled setting really made their enthusiasm sparkle!   
 Shoot type: 30 minute mini-session Location: Wildhorse Greenbelt @ Green Meadows, Davis, CA In the springtime I run special blossom shoots at unique locations throughout Davis, to capture that beautiful time of year between late February and late April when the redbuds, almonds, cherry, plum, pear, and crabapple trees bloom. Davis is a wonderful place for these kinds of shoots, as we have these gorgeous trees all over town! The Kaminer family and I did their shoot early in the blooming season, taking advantage of the ornamental plums dotting the Wildhorse Greenbelt in late February. With the morning light shining through the blossoms in the background, it turned out to be a truly fantastic shoot!

In late 2023 I had the pleasure of working with one of Davis' local small businesses Yolo Berry Yogurt to do a combination shoot, capturing menu items as well as some editorial and marketing shots of their charming C Street location. The frozen yogurt was swirly, the toppings were fresh and savory; You've been warned: you'll leave this post wanting some Yolo Berry Froyo!
