Jessica blew me away with these portraits of Angela...
We've done so many great senior portrait sessions this summer! If you know anyone who hasn't had their senior portraits or was unhappy with their session, send them over for our September senior special! Only $95 session fee for senior sessions in September. That's over $150 off the session!!!

If you haven't already met our newest ultra-spective family member, I would like to introduce you to her.
Lia began interning with us at the beginning of this summer. Her first day at work, she assisted Anna at a wedding. What pressure for a first day at work! But this was only the beginning of learning that Lia learns really quickly and adjusts so naturally to anything that needs to be done. She's not only smart and insanely creative, but she is witty and honest and a complete joy to be around and work with.
We have such tight relationships here at ultra-spective that I wondered (and worried) at first about how she would fit in here. But Lia is a natural fit at ultra-spective - it feels as if she has been here forever.
Here's a few photos of her - she doesn't normally dress like this... this was 50's day at work! If you stop by the studio, be sure to meet her if she is here!
Welcome Lia... I couldn't be happier to have you at ultra-spective. And as a friend.
Posted by Anna: Now, I'm not one to brag too much (okay well sometimes I do), but I was just thinking the other day about all of the friends I have. I was thinking about how fortunate I am to know so many super nice people from all walks of life and I realized that many of the friendships I've made over the past few years are the result of the client/photographer relationship. The client/photographer relationship is such a unique relationship because I encourage my clients to relax and I try to get to know who they are so that I can create unique portraits that genuinely represent them. This unveils the true spirit of a person and it always warms my heart to really get to know people....so this is how the natural friendship is then formed. Sometimes this even happens before the photosession through consultations and meetings to prepare for weddings.
For example, a client whose daughter's wedding is coming up in October at the new Casa Real Event Center in Pleasanton gave gifts to my boys (a cool stuffed camera for Theo and a kid friend engraved photoalbum for Enzo). These were the most thoughtful and unique gifts for a photographer mom. And then there was the couple I met for the first time last night for a wedding consultation. They were the cutest couple ever because of the way they laughed together, looked at each other, and talked about their future together. We immediately became friends such that I felt like I've known them forever. I can't wait to photograph their wedding next year. And then there are the friends that have come into the studio for their maternity and baby portraits and we would talk about our experiences in motherhood, as well as struggles and achievements. I certainly couldn't have made it without their advice and support.
Then I think about all of the new people I will meet in the coming years, I get excited and I understand why I am a photographer. I love people...meeting people, getting to know different kinds of people and helping people protect their memories for the next generation.
So I do look forward to meeting you (or seeing you again)...and I'm almost guaranteed to show you the latest portraits of my boys because they are the CUTEST kids ever! (okay, so here I am bragging again!)
Take good care of yourself and your family!

As usual, I didn't attend Jared and Sarah's wedding in Santa Cruz, CA. I was here in the studio designing away. But when I saw their wedding images, I was BLOWN AWAY. Enjoy some images from their amazing day!

Jessica has been doing some AMAZING work with our high school seniors for our Artbook Project. I have been so impressed with the way she consults with them about who they are and what they want to do with their futures and creates such artistic images with them. Take a peek at just a few she has done lately.
August is the last month to take advantage of these free senior sessions for our Artbook. If you're interested, get in touch with us soon! Contact us at 925.449.9879 or info@ultra-spective.com
