10 on 10 June | Sam Turns 17, Eek!

This month I decided to do my 10 on 10 on the 11th.  Why?  Because it was my oldest son, Sam’s 17th birthday (how can that be??) and I thought it would be fun to capture pieces of his special day.  If you have a teenager, you know how elusive they can be to photograph.  🙂

The day started off with him sleeping in….no surprise there!

Here’s Sam opening up his birthday card, complete with potty humor and well wishes from his siblings….. Note:  Sam will go to college, he is working on getting his drivers license (finally!) and I guess to some, 17 seems old. 

The afternoon involved some chillaxin and video games…..

For dinner Sam wanted to roast hot dogs and sausages over our fire pit.  Alex thought in addition to roasting hot dogs, that he’d torch his math and Spanish papers (hence the backpack by the fire pit and all the ashes)…..yep, school is out for summer! 

So there you go….Sam’s 17th birthday in a nutshell.  To continue the 10 on 10 fun, pop on over to catch a glimpse of  Kathleen’s day.

Oh and in case you are interested, I edited these photos using Get Totally Rad’s new Replichrome II Presets.  I love how easy these presets are to use and how they can give your digital images that film look.

There’s just something about charming downtowns like Saratoga, CA that make them perfect for headshot and branding sessions. ✨ Between the brick walls, tree-lined streets, colorful storefronts, and cute cafés, there are endless background options to fit your style.

Want something polished and professional? A clean wall or modern building front is perfect.

Looking for a creative, lifestyle vibe? We can shoot near a coffee shop patio or park bench.

Need a little pop of color? The historic shops and vibrant planters always deliver.

These little towns give such a mix of looks in one session—you can walk just a few steps and have a whole new backdrop. That’s why I love photographing here!

I always love my visits to TherapyWorks —for headshot days! 📸

I’ve had the honor of being their photographer for over 10 years (how lucky am I?) and it’s such a joy to capture their warm, welcoming team.

Here’s to more smiles, fresh photos, and another decade of working together! ✨

As a branding photographer, I’m used to squatting, bending, and scrunching up in tight spaces just to get the right shot. It’s part of the process. But let me be honest, I often feel it the next day. The quad burn is real. To me fellow photogs, can you relate?🤣
