SENIOR LOCATIONS
Embarking on the journey to find the perfect location for your high school senior portraits is an exciting endeavor. Consider your personal style and be expressive in showcasing your unique personality. Creativity shines through in every shot. Pay attention to clothing choices that complement the chosen location, ensuring a harmonious blend of style and setting for portraits that truly capture the essence of your senior year.
Attention to detail is key for your portrait session. Ensure outfits are clean, pressed, and preferably without logos for a timeless look. Bringing complete outfits ensures flexibility, allowing for a variety of shots that perfectly capture your style. These thoughtful considerations contribute to a polished and visually appealing portrait that will stand the test of time.

Give the gift of a family portrait for the holiday. There’s nothing like a beautiful family portrait to cherish all year long.
Family portraits can be so much fun. Evan will combine both posed formal portraits and more candid photographs. He will also do a complete breakdown of the kids individually the kids together mom and dad together as well as the family having fun together.
Evans never really grabbed onto the concept of “mini sessions”. This season is the first he has offered mini-sessions and still runs overtime! Evan feels if you have gone through all the trouble of hair, make-up, and color-coordinating outfits, not to mention a time getting ready and to your destination, then it’s also worth not rushing through a portrait session on a 20-minute time clock! Evan feels it’s taking a lot of time and energy to get your family together, so why not enjoy the session and some together time?
Evan did an amazing job photographing our wedding at the Ebell of Los Angeles. We loved working with him on our engagement photos and our wedding photos & album came out amazing. We will definitely use him again for our family photos.
