sanae james photography Utah wedding, family, children, high school senior photography

I loved taking pics of Brooke.  So easy going, so chill, my kinda girl.  I can’t believe how grown up everyone is getting.  Just a sophomore when I first met her and now a grown-up senior.  Miss Brooke…you are beautiful! You are gonna go places girl!  And when I’m old and have a heart attack, you can come rescue me with your paramedic skills…hahaha…

Here’s your sneak peek…:)

I am DYING over these!  Kylene came all the way from Montana to have her senior pics done by ME!  (haha…ya I wish!)  Her family is actually vacationing in Utah since they used to live here, and while they are here, she scheduled a senior session.  So I guess in a way, she came all the way for me! hee…hee…a girl can wish, right?!?  Anyway, back to the DYING over images part…that’s what I’m doing right now because I am so loving how these came out!  I felt like I was so slow this session…I don’t know what it was about me.  I felt like I was moving slow and totally spacing it throughout.  Not myself.  Maybe because before I got to the location, I almost got myself in an accident and almost died.  Serious.  It was as if my foot was lead and I totally ran a red light–and cars were coming from the side about to hit me.  It was scary.  And to top it off, Kylene, Kade, and her mom were in the car right behind me.  They were probably thinking in their heads that they have a psycho photographer!  hahaha…I promise.  I’m not that crazy.  I’m so glad that Kylene was ready and had her game face on…cuz I was a little shaken up a bit.  She WORKED IT OUT!  Hot Model style!  I mean…she is gorgeous to begin with, but she was so fun and great in front of the camera.  Seniors are so fun.  so FUN!

Kylene–I hope you love these as much as I do…and there’s lots more to look through…good luck picking, because I don’t know if I could narrow them down.  I just posted a few just so you can check ‘em out!   You are amazing!  You are going to have an awesome year for sure!  You’ll have to hit me up when you come back out here for COLLEGE!:)

A special thank you to Jonnette & Kade for all their help!  Kade–thanks for sporting my sweaty “bangles.”  You ROCK.

I  love how Jen describes herself:  ZINGY, FEISTIVE, OUTLANDISH, EFFERVESCENT, CHARISMATIC.  She is all that and a bag of chips.  Loved her style, loved how natural she was and loved how she brought her sister with her.  She eased up easily with the camera and really worked it.   We had a great time laughing and shooting some HOT pics.  I can’t believe she just graduated from high school…she looks way more mature–like she’s a college gal!  You are friggin’ gorgeous Jen!  How did I get so lucky photographing you?  Oh yah…you found me like on pg. 3 of google.  Thanks for searching that far girly!:)  I gots to get myself on a higher ranking page!  hahaha….

Here’s just a few.  Just a sneak peek:

My favorite outfit of the day.  LOVED the blue cardi with the amazing skirt!:)

Jen’s only request was to take pics of all her crazy shoes…just to show off all the different sides of her!  I loved her idea.  LOVED.
