At the end of last year, I made a decision to start a Senior Model team. This was a huge decision because there are a few photographers in town that already have a big influence on the senior portraits niche. However, I love taking photos of these pre-young adults who will soon venture out into the world. I love listening to their stories and hopes and goals for their future. So, i put away my fear of failure, joined the competition and put out a call for my senior models...

I'm so glad  that I did. I have been blessed with nine fabulous high school students who will go on this adventure with me. Each representing high schools in Napa. Each with beautiful hearts. I'm so excited to be working with them this year. 

Our first shoot was actually this past Saturday. I am inspired by Audrey Hepburn's clean classic style. A Simple Black and white palette with a pop of red. With the help of Ariana Ervin, stylist and owner of Kale and Olive, Micheala Daw, make-up and hair stylist at Paris Day Spa, and Olivia Johanson, an up and coming make up and hair artist stylist; I was able to bring my vision for the team into reality. I can't thank these three talented ladies enough! 

Each model did fantastic with a 6:00 AM call time, and temperatures in the 50's that morning. We headed to downtown Napa for some fun and photos. 

Thank you Rick ,owner of  Molinari Caffe ,and your patrons for letting my models and I invade your front space. You have a beautiful cafe and yummy coffee and treats. Thank you to Misty too at The Cake Plate for just letting me randomly have my team pose in front of your store. 

Without much further ado, check out Pearly Hens Photography's Class of 2016 Senior Model Team!
