KeriAnn Photography : Seniors : Johnny : Loomis Ca. Rocklin Ca. Senior Photography

I got to spend an evening with this guy and his mom.  The weather was awesome!  We went to his school and was able to capture some great shots just around the campus.  I love photographing Seniors and hearing about their dreams and aspirations... Johnny, congrats!  I know you will do great things.

I remember when I was graduating and I had so many plans. Being able to shoot seniors is fun because I get to hear about their plans and dreams and revisit my own. It's funny to think about how you thought life was going to be and how it has actually turned out. I love it though. No matter what the twists and turns life throws it's all such a great adventure.

Gabe wants to be a doctor, I have no doubt that he will make all the effort it takes to make that come true.

Rock that OCF!

A few weeks ago I went to Rock that OCF with Ali Hon. It was really fun! I was so hoping for some of those great sunset shots I always see of hers, but unfortunately it rained!! seriously can you believe it rained that weekend? It hardly EVER rains here!... Oh well! It still turned out great and I met a ton of new friends and got to shoot some stuff in the studio.

here are some of the images I took.

It feels like fall and I'm LOVIN it!

Maiden Voyage of my new couch!

I have been looking for a beautiful vibrant victorian style couch for my sessions. I love antique furniture anyway. I found this beauty at the Salt Seller just by chance! It was under a ton of stuff in a store that is more thrift shop than antique shop, but there it was.... and now it's MINE!!

Another image from last night! I am so Jealous of this beauties exotic look!

Take time to dream. . .

I have been so busy lately, with photos and kids school stuff and holidays. I definatly have not posted as much as I like to. And it does not help that while I am writing this my 2 year old is climbing on me and pounding on the key board demanding to go to DIEGO on Nick Jr. sigh.... just rember to breath and dream a little even when things are crazy. It brings sanity, hope this image helps with that. It did for me and I love the feel of it. I was so happy when it was windy this day. It always helps with the dramatic effects.

This handsome football player is my cousin, he is such a STUD!!! Origionally he played here in California, but moved to Utah for his senior year and he is doing AMAZING!! This was a fun shoot because I had not ever shot in Utah county and there were fun spots.

The senior year is so AMAZING! when you are a senior you feel like the world is yours for the taking. I remember feeling so important. I remember feeling like I could do anything, be anything, and had so many options. I had a ton of fun! So Taking pictures of seniors makes me remember all of those feelings and how fun it is. It has been fun for me to capture seniors on the brink of AMAZING things. I love not having to chase them around!!! haha, and I love being creative with them and their individual personalities.

Just for fun... if you want, tell me what you did in highschool, what you wanted to be and what you actually are now... I know I am completly opposite and did nothing I thought I would.

for instance I was a dancer, and on drill team, and other dance teams. I thought I would

go to college to become a child psychologist and minor in dance. Not get married till I was like 25.

what ACTUALLY happened was. One month before college scholarship dance tryouts I tore my right hamstring. started college and got in a car accident with a deisel (dance dream gone). Started my behavioral science degree, started to volunteer with the kids... and figured out it hit to close to home and most of childhood issues were not forgotten....(major NOT psychology)

I got married at 19, worked in health care, took in my little brothers to raise, had 3 kids, and the rest is history. Although now with my beautiful children, my photography, my awesome husband. I would not change a thing. sometime God has plans for us we are not prepared for...and that's o.k.!! :)

These last 2 are a couple of my favorites. The last one because of the mountains, because of the moon at twilight, because of how cool he looks on the hill......

and the BW because I did it in the daylight with a mounted flash and was able to minipulate the settings to make it black behind him and look dark even though it wasn't! so cool!

Senior model shoot~ Northern California Senior Photographer

Hi! It has been a while since I have posted. Not that I have a TON of followers or anything, but just in case you have been checking in with me, sorry it has been so long and I am excited to be back and start the fall "family christmas card season!". I moved from my 3200 sq foot rental house into a 2 bedroom aparment.... yep you heard that right. I downsized!!! A LOT. I sold enough of my furniture and other stuff to furnish an entire house and still have enough for this house and a storage unit! WOW! but my goal in stuffing my 3 kids and one dog into a 2 bedroom apartment is to save enough money this year to pay off 3 credit cards and and save enough for 10%-20% down on a house before the market starts to go back up... so CRaZy? maybe a little... I like to call it, {waking up to reality} and being responsible. So there it is. I have had a crazy month and just got internet and I am ready to start working :) I feel surprisingly happy about all the time I have to work on photography now that I do not have to clean a humungo house.... hahah!

Well now down to business, few photog friends and I decided to get together. We all needed some Senior photos to add to our portfolios as well as just getting together and having some fun! you can see their sites Katie, Sandy, Tina, Aimee The fun part about doing a shoot like this is we can try some new things, and do stuff I would like to work on. Senior posing is one of those. I also got the chance to work on some things like low light and motion photography. We went to downtown Folsom which is definately going to be one of my new favorite locations!



All these kids were so much fun to work with and so photogenic! It was a breeze to work with them! I have LOVED EVERy senior shoot I have done so far.



Take a peak! there are a lot and so many more..but I could not post them all :) Some of them I will post the data so you can see what my settings were when I took them!



ENJOY! :)

These are my low light images we did at a busy intersection. I realalize they are not all

NICOLE ~ Such a beauty {lincoln, ca. senior picture photographer}

This is my first senior girl and it was so much fun! I did take senior portraits for my cousin {and I still need to post them}. But I promised a sneak peak so here it is. I am in the middle of trying to get all packed up and moved and I feel like my brain is mush...plus I was really nervous to do this session! I don't know why, but I was! So I totally left my glasses and phone by the side of the road somewhere while shooting and mom had to go and try to find them (sorry Deanna!) I felt like a total nut! It was also very windy, but the session turned out great and she was such a beauty tall and blond and eyes to DIE for!

As a photographer I always rack my brain for poses. I want to do something different so each pose isn't the same, yet each person is different so one pose does not always work for another. Let me know what you think of these, I would love to hear what your favorite poses are or what you try to do for inspiration with posing?

This first one is one of my favorites! The wind just worked perfectly with her hair and I love the motion it created!
