Shelby just might be one of the coolest chicks I’ve ever met. She is funny, adorable, smart and graduating from high school really soon! We had a blast running around downtown with her BFF and parents to get some really fun pictures of this incredibly spirited gal.

A girl after my own heart, Shelby has as much of a sweet tooth as I do. So OF COURSE we had to stop off at Rick’s Dessert Diner for a slice of cake and some cool vintage shots.

We grabbed some BFF shots too. I LOVE it when my seniors bring along a friend for some pictures together. My best friend in high school is STILL my best friend, and I would be lost without her. I LOVE the pictures we have together from our youth and so it makes me so happy to create images like that for others. And I mean, seriously, how cute are these two?

The day of Shelby’s shoot the sky was CRAZY awesome. There were some amazing clouds in the sky and I really wanted to incorporate the fortunate weather into Shelby’s portraits so we went to the top of one of my most favorite parking garages and rocked out some puffy cloud goodness!

Shelby thank you SO MUCH for rocking this session! Congratulations on your upcoming graduation! I’m sure your future is going to be BRIGHT! CLICK HERE or below for a slideshow of Shelby’s session.

Gina! I love her! She is so beautiful and so talented and so adorable. And she is the best bagger Raley’s of West Roseville has ever known! Gina has always been awesome to us as we gather our weekly groceries, and I was so excited when she mentioned she was a Senior at Wookcreek High School. We set up a senior session and HOLY MOLY can this girl rock it out in front of the camera!

You know how much I love it when the BFF’s come hang out with us on a shoot. Best friends just seem to make everything so much more fun! Poor Gina’s first shoot (all the pictures above are from the first shoot) got rained out – and there was lightening… and that always terrifies me. So we got together at the studio a couple days later to finish up her session. And I’m so glad she did!

And then we busted out the prom dress! I mean, hello! How much do we love a prom dress?!?! LOADS! We love it loads! Especially when it’s so smokin’ hot!

Thanks again to Gina for being so crazy awesome! All the best of luck next year in Chico! Don’t have too much fun… I’m just sayin’! Check out her slideshow HERE or in the box below for more images of this beauty!

Gina! Gina! Gina! I love her! Gina rocked out a senior session this past week and I had to share a little sneaky peeky of some of my faves so far. I can’t wait to show more of all the awesomeness Gina gave me during her session.

More hot images of our beloved Gina soon!

Also, I wanted to remind everyone that starting… um… right now I will be out of the office until Monday morning. Dustin and I are headed off to San Francisco for a working vacation. We’ll be celebrating our 4 years of being engaged anniversary (yes, that’s right… 4 years ago TODAY Dustin said, “One of these days I’m going to ask you to marry me.” And I replied with, “Well…. go ahead.” And that was it… ENGAGED!), meeting up with some good friends, and shooting an engagement session. It should be awesome fun. Phone calls and emails will be returned on Monday! Have a RADTASTIC weekend everyone!
