Senior Portraits - Rachel

This is Rachel, another of David's friends. I shot her, along with Kristine, on the CSUC campus. It was a lot of fun to shoot the girls there - so many pretty spots. Thanks for introducing us, David!

Thanks, Rachel!

Senior Portraits - Kristine

This is Kristine. She's friends with David whom I shot last week. Thanks for connecting us, David. I had a great time shooting Kristine on the CSUC campus, here in Chico.

Thanks, Kristine!

Sal & Brittney Engagement Photos Part 2

I have a few more photos of Sal and Brittney's engagement to share. These photos have only been resized for email and will get a final edit at a later date. Thanks again, to Sal and Brittney for allowing me to shot them. It's fun to be a part of such an exciting time in their lives.

And a shot of Brittney's cute pedicure just for fun - she had little flowers painted on her toes.

Senior Portraits - Class of 2011 - David V

Today I had the opportunity to shoot David V's Senior Portraits.

David and my daughter have been friends for years. It's pretty cool to see him ready to begin his Senior year when I can remember the day the kids graduated from the 8th grade so clearly. Where has the time gone?  Thanks for letting me take your portraits, David! 

If you need Senior Portraits taken and you are in the Chico, CA area, I will have pricing and appointment information posted very soon. In the meantime, you can email me at MichelleHamorSmith@gmail.com, if you have any questions.

Sal & Brittney Engagement Photos

I had the opportunity to take Brittney and Sal's engagement photos the other day. It was so much fun. They brought their little boy, Alex, and we included him as well.

York Family Annual Portraits

Welcome to the annual York Family photos....... My daughter and I shot them at the same time. Good idea in theory, but everyone ends up looking in a different direction. Hayden, however, always has eyes for Mom.

Brad and Shawna make a beautiful couple.

Hayden is coming to get me....... he kept burying my head in leaves. Silly boy. I love the point when the kids get comfortable and then they get a little wild. I'll show more of that in my next post.

Brad, looking like an angel.

Stoy Family Photos- Two Individual Shots

I took the Stoy family photos yesterday. I'm still working on the edits, but so far I have a couple of the individual shots ready. I took these in Bidwell Park, at a time when the park was packed with Mother's Day parties - people grilling all around us. Didn't matter, we found a free tree and got to work.
