Cyrus // Hayward Portrait Photographer // CSU Eastbay // Downtown Hayward

Boss

I love these moments. I think I asked him if he’s talking to any girls.

Priceless

I love these brick buildings. They don’t make them around here anymore.

This was pretty weird when we first saw it. It’s a Salvation Army. Apparently someone dumped some stuff…

Levitation.

Notice the car behind Cyrus.

I love the colors. I wonder if the store clerk noticed.

My favorite shot because it was fun to create. We were at a stoplight. Cyrus ran out and place the chair and wanted to race. I was surprised that no one honked.

It was a great privilege to photography Cyrus. We shared a great amount of laughter during the session. When I first met Cyrus at tennis conditioning four years ago,  I thought he was Filipino. But it turns out the he’s Indian. Since then Cyrus has been a great tennis mentor and friend. He has definitely  taught me a lot about the fundamentals of tennis and how to play it well. I will definitely miss playing for him next year. I wish the tennis team and Cyrus nothing but the best this upcoming season.

Cyrus wanted some corporate like photos in the evening and urban ones at night. This was my second night session.  The first location was at CSU Eastbay. This was the school Cyrus graduated from. The night session took place Hayward downtown. Nightime photography is definitely a challenge. But I didn’t it let it stop me from producing fun images. During the night session we found a chair at the Salvation Army place and walked around with. People looked at us like we were crazy. We were crazy. Cyrus was very daring and down for anything that wasn’t life threatening. Every night shot was spontaneous. We wanted to be as random as possible.

Aimie // Senior Portraits // San Lorenzo // Hesperian

Hello lovely people. This senior session was absolutely fun. I had the privilege of doing Aimie’s senior portraits. She said she wanted something more real and fun. We visited Aimie’s elementary school. Throughout the session Aimie was like a crazy kid. She was crazy. Aimie couldn’t stop laughing between every shot. The school reminded her of so many memories that she couldn’t stop talking and playing on set. Here are some of my favorites.

I think I told her she looked sexy. LOL

Hang ten.

I couldn’t stop her.

I told her she had a boy-like attitude.

The game face

Aimie has been playing softball all her life.

These in between moments are the best.

I’ve known Aimie for a quite awhile and she is wild and crazy and isn’t afraid to show it. I love it! She is highly involved in school activities. She’s the treasurer of the student body.  She plays volleyball and softball. I met her in my orchestra class back in middle school. We shared the stage since middle school. I’ll definitely miss high school orchestra next year. I look forward to doing more senior portraits in the future. I didn’t like my senior portraits. The traditional portraits weren’t me.

If you are a senior and are tired of the same old studio shots and want something more fun and modern and YOU. Send me an email and I would love to work with you!
