Kaitlyn Senior Portraits
Feb 4th
Say hello to Kaitlyn. Is she really a cowgirl? I don’t know? But she rocked that outfit with those boots!
I was instantly excited when I saw the outfit ’cause I had a couple of great locations for it. We had beautiful light all day. Sun when I needed it…and complete overcast when I really wanted it. I love shooting under a cloudy sky. And talk about a trooper. It was COLD! But she hung in there and never let it show.
The last couple images were the icing on the cake. We were headed back towards town (the wind had picked up and was blowing about 30 mph) but I just couldn’t pass up those shots. Made a quick u-turn (off of the on-ramp). No worries, there was no other traffic. Again, she got out into the cold wind and let me work. We were only out there for about 3 minutes, but we were both cold when we got back into the truck.
Kaitlyn, thank you so much for the opportunity to capture your beauty. Good luck in the future!
Shadow Sale
Jan 8th
Right now you’re saying “What is a Shadow Sale”? Well, everyone knows what it means when the groundhog sees his own shadow. Six more weeks of being cold. That’s no fun…right?
You know what I see? Another you, a duplicate, a double. Regardless of what you call it, it’s a good thing. Why? Because there’s two of you, so you need twice as many prints. So I’m going to give them to you…for FREE! I will “shadow” your print order.
If you schedule a Family Photo Session for the month of January OR February, you will receive *2 prints for the price of 1. That’s right, I will duplicate your order for FREE!
But your session has to be completed in January or February. So hurry up and schedule your appointment. Make sure to mention this post to receive 2 for 1. Photo sessions are available 7 days a week, by appointment only.
Call or Text Jake @ 760-793-2783
Or, visit the website @ www.around395.com and use the contact form to receive a reply by email.
*Duplicate prints are applied to any prints ordered in addition to your package
Sweet, Sweet Sorrow
Jan 6th
I love how fast a child’s expressions can change.
The funny thing is, he wasn’t even really sad. I just asked him to sit down and not smile. Success! Don’t worry, of course I have one of him with a huge smile across his face.
Calling All Couples
Dec 31st
Are you smokin’ hot? Want a chance to show everyone? This is one of the few times that I get to pick my customers. I’m looking for a fun, sharp dressed, good looking couple. Dating, engaged, or married. Doesn’t matter, as long as you’re hot…and in love! We want people to know you’re in love when they see your images.
Why? Because I’m wanting to do a fun couple session. One that I get to direct. That’s right, I get to go through your wardrobe and pick your outfits, I get to pick the locations, and I get to pick the poses. That’s right…me, me, me.
But the outcome is going to be you, you, YOU! This is going to be somewhere between an engagement session and a fashion session. The benefit to you? Well, besides being able to brag to all your friends about being the hottest couple…it’s FREE! That’s right, FREE! Standard engagement sessions start at $275. You pay ZERO. Once the images are ready, you only purchase the images you want.
Now, because this is a free session, there’s some guidelines.
First, I pick the couple. The description at the top…you have to be that couple. Yes, ladies, you’re man too. If he’s not up to this, sorry. You both have to want to do this. And of course, you have to let me in your house 
Honestly, I need to see, and make suggestions, to anything you might wear.
You have to be willing to get up early and get home late. This will be an all day event out of town. Lots of driving. But, I’m driving so you can sleep in between stops 
No pets, no kids. This one is strictly for the grown-ups.
You must be local to Ridgecrest or nearby.
I’m looking for bright, and wild colored clothes. As well as some sexy and semi-formal dress.
Outgoing is a must! This is going to take place within the next 2 or 3 weeks. So it’s going to be cold outside. Gotta be a trooper.
When I say good looking, I mean…well…good looking. And fit. Might sound like I’m discriminating a bit, cause I am. It’s FREE!
Are you ready? Do you think you fit the bill? Then call me @ 760-793-2783. Not you, but you know the perfect couple? If you refer them, and I use them, I’ll give you a free family session!
Senior Portraits – Logan
Dec 17th
Outdoors. It’s all about being outside. Logan loves to hunt! So naturally, he wanted to go to a location that represented him. So what better than a drive up into the mountains. I didn’t say anything about a plush forest.
Our nearby mountains aren’t all that pretty to look at until you get way up there. Or, from a distance. But that’s ok, because we weren’t looking for pretty. Logan is a boy, after all. But we did still manage to get him in an area that he felt comfortable in. And in the process, we found some pretty cool backgrounds. This was a fun session. And like most of the senior portraits I do of guys, Logan was up for whatever. Well…as long as I kept him looking masculine. So the flower dress was out.
I’ve known Logan for a few years now. He’s a smart kid and will go far. Good luck in the future, Logan!
This was easily my favorite!
Getting the back of his jacket was a little tricky. Not too sure how I feel about this one?
