Amanda Nobles Senior Photo Preview ~Susanville Senior Portrait Photographer~

Here is a small preview of Amanda Nobles Senior photoshoot.  This was a great shoot.  Amanda came in with very clear ideas about what she wanted from her senior portraits, and the images came out amazing!  I had so much fun, and retouching was so simple.  There are a lot of very different looks we came up with that gave this shoot a distinctive feel, showed her personality, and allowed us to be creative. Enjoy!

Kyle Harlan ~Susanville Portrait Photographer~

After a few weeks i have finished retouching the shoot i had with Kyle Harlan.  I love almost every single image i took in this session, and i could retouch each one if i really wanted to, but i did restrain myself haha. Not only did i get great images out of the shoot, but i don't think i have ever felt so comfortable photographing someone before.  Good conversation, amazing look and style, and great additions to my portfolio. Kyle also wore a ridiculous coat i found at a thrift store in Chico while looking for the Miss Lassen outfits, and i got some good concept stuff out of that.  Overall i loved this shoot, loved retouching the images, and i am completely happy with what i captured.  Thank you SO much Kyle, I'd work with you again anytime.

P.S. I need some Brooks love...and by that i mean crit these. 

So Far

So these are a few of the photos from the amazing shoot i had with Kyle the other day.  So far i have retouched 10 images...over 4 days.  The whole shoot was so good it's so hard to pick the ones i want to retouch, but so far so good i think. Definitely got a lot of portfolio pieces out of it, and there are enough images to make kyle his own book haha.  The next post on this will be all the images and i'll need some good old fashion brooks crit on them.

Matt Damm Senior Rep 2012.~ Susanville Senior Portrait Photographer~

My third Senior Rep for the class of 2012 is Mr. Matt Damm.  Matt plays both football and soccer for Lassen and is the 2012 ASB Attorney General.  This guy was all smiles, and the photos turned out great!  This is shaping up to be an amazing senior class!

“When I say I want to photograph someone, what it really means is that I'd like to know them. Anyone I know I photograph.” -Annie Leibovitz

That is one of those quotes that i live by.  Towards the end of last year i went down to visit my friend Mallory in Chico, and met Tim.  And true to that quote not too long after i photographed him.  We just took a stroll around Chico before the Super Bowl, and i plan on doing some studio stuff with him soon too.  It was fun! It's always a bonding experience when you photograph someone, and probably even more so when you are retouching.  You get to know all the out things that make people unique and who they are. 

NOTE: Some of these are digital and some are Medium Format film. 

this last one is an out take LOL (this is the real Tim)

Couple photos for Haley and Conor that I did more recently for their anniversary !

Bear and Arctic / JCharles Photography

My friend from high school James Bear and is friend Aric have a band that they wanted some images for.  This was fun and outside the box.  James came up with a lot of the ideas that i honestly would have never thought of.  It's a bit dark and creepy for some.
