Tom’s senior portrait magazine–featuring more than 30 images from our session–is now available for preview and purchase at the link below. Give it a look-see, and let me know what you think! __________________________________________________________ Senior [...]
New Senior Portrait Magazine – Tom Penner: SHHS Class of 2012
Senior Portrait Hockey Shoot w/Behind the Scenes Lighting Setup
A few teaser images from a senior portrait shoot this week. Tom’s an avid street hockey player and a rabid Anaheim Ducks fan, so we wanted to capture some of that passion in his portrait session. It’s been a bit rainy here in SoCal this week, so we were fortunate to shoot between storms, and [...]
Gamer…the Portrait
Hi Friends, In between client work, it’s important to keep the creative juices flowing. Having been subject to hours of squealing tires, revving engines, explosions, and apparent talking to himself (with the online games), I thought I’d try to capture some of the essence of the gaming experience with my son as prime portrait candidate. [...]

Senior Portrait Session – Lara S.
Hi Friends, Met with Lara and her mom today for a post-graduation portrait shoot. What a lovely couple! Lara managed to accomplish something with every image that is difficult to find, even with professional models: she smiles with her eyes! (She said she’d practiced that, but I think it probably comes naturally). Terrific time! Proofs [...]
Location Football Portrait-Andrew B.
Got a call from some good friends in need of an “emergency portrait” for their son, Andrew — kicker for Corona Del Mar HS varsity football. I had a couple local football fields in mind for the shoot, but none were available at a time that worked for Andrew. (Between school, church, and football, finding [...]
One-Light Portrait-Keiko
Hi Friends, As a proof-of-concept for a portrait project I’m noodling, I coerced my mother-in-love, Keiko, to sit for a portrait. It’s very difficult to get her NOT to smile, but I was looking for serious expression here. I’d asked her to pose with a favorite portrait of my father-in-law, Larry, a career US Marine. [...]
Cat Portraits – Red Wall
Cat got a new vest today at a little hole-in-the-wall Japanese clothing store, so I figured it was time to take some more portraits. I mean, it’s been at least a week since I’ve taken portraits of Cat! We returned to a local favorite portrait spot (great red wall) and made a few… Before we [...]
