Mike’s Senior Pictures May 16, 2011 at 10:08 pm

My brother in law Mike (the little brother I never had) is graduating this year.  When I met Mike, he was 10 year’s old.  It’s been fun seeing him grow up and become the man he is today.  To say the least, I was excited to take his senior pictures for him today.

Originally I had this vision for Mike’s pictures.  I wanted to go Downtown and take some really cool grungy urban shots.  Due to a series of conflicting events, tonight was my only night to do pictures and we were a bit limited.  We stayed close to home since Don was on call and I wanted to be close enough to go back home to watch our son in case he got a call.  My favorite place to shoot in Santee is at the park by my house, but I decided to do something different.  I didn’t see Mike as a park kind of guy, even though he was perfectly ok with that.  So we went to a few locations through out East County in the small amount of time we had.  Our first stop was good ole’ Lakeside.  And this was not the nice part of Lakeside mind you!  I wanted some grungy shots and I was going to find it some where.  Even if it was in Lakeside.  This little spot is located next to a run down trailer park and some falling apart industrial buildings.  That’s the first place most people would love to get their pictures taken right?!?!  🙂

Next stop was my old church building in Lakeside.  I am a huge sucker for red bricks.  I just love them and the texture in it!

This last spot is an area I drive by every single day.  I’ve been wanting to take someone’s picture here for quite some time now.  I am also a sucker for brush and nature.  This photoshoot had the best of all kinds of stuff!  For anyone that knows Santee, I would like to see if they can guess where this is at.
