As a Bay Area Senior Photographer, I get the chance to photograph an important milestone. That short window of time before teenagers leave the safety and comfort of home to become independent, honest-to-goodness adults is priceless. Many times these photographs are the last that will be taken of just them until their wedding or until they start a family of their own.
I’ve launched two of my own kids off into adulthood now. I absolutely treasure their senior portraits now that they are no longer living in my home full time. Kids this age have so much to look forward to. I love photographing them just on the brink of starting their lives on their own. You can see the excitement, the anxiety, the hope, the hesitancy, the expectation in their eyes. I can’t imagine sending my own kids off without documenting this unique and fleeting turning point through photographs.
Maddy and I met in San Francisco on a beautiful sunny afternoon. She wanted photos on the beach so we headed to Baker Beach. We were lucky enough to find a parking spot. The old barracks are the perfect backdrop for a senior portrait session. The variety of colors and brick walls and flowers are wonderful. The beach was a popular destination that day. We were able to clear out some space to get some beautiful photos of Maddy. With the Golden Gate Bridge in the back, I hope she’ll think of the Bay Area every time she looks through her portraits.
I’m so excited for Maddy as she begins college. I know she’ll be successful in whatever she sets her mind on. And I hope these photographs remind her of this exciting time in her life and all that’s ahead of her.
