ALYSSA | UNION MINE HIGH SCHOOL | CLASS OF 2016

Meet Alyssa, a 2016 Union Mine High School senior.  She is captain of the cheer team, she competes in competitive cheerleading, she is part of the Key Club, The California Scholarship Federation and The National Honors Society.  She is not only GORGEOUS on the outside she is something extraordinary on the inside.  You know those people who who make you feel good, they are always positive, always happy and when they are near their energy is almost tangible? You find yourself wanting to hang out, ALL the time, and hoping they feel the same way too?  That is her!  She is just like that.  I feel honored and blessed to have had the opportunity to capture this sweet, sweet being.  She was funny and light hearted and so fun to be around.  Thank you Alyssa for trusting me with the job of capturing your senior year!  May you be extremely blessed in all you do!!  ~fara  

With a passion for the art of senior photography and a heart for capturing the innocent, organic nature of children, it is my goal to provide parents with tangible memories of the most precious years of their lives...the journey of raising children from birth to high school graduation.  Miles stones are the prefect excuse to seek out a professional photographer.  Newborn, 6 month, 1 year, 5 year, 8 year, 12 year, 16 year and high school graduation are all special times in a child's life.  Being able to capture and preserve these special mile stones is priceless.  Fara Smith Photography specializes in newborn and child portraiture which includes high school seniors and is located in Lincoln, CA.  Newborn sessions are all shot at my rustic, french country feel, in home studio, located in Lincoln Crossing, while most child and senior portrait sessions are shot on location in the beautiful surrounding areas of Lincoln, Loomis, Rocklin, Roseville, Sacramento, Folsom and Auburn, CA.  Please follow me on Facebook where I often run specials and host giveaways.  You can also see where I get most of my inspiration by following me on Pinterest. Find me on Instagram where you can see sneak peeks of my most recent sessions and if you love Twitter find me there, I may occasionally tweet something really special!  I am also on Google+ showcasing most of my work.  Wether you are looking to document the birth of a baby with a newborn photographer, celebrate the moving on of your high school senior with a senior portrait photographer or anything in-between, I am confident in my ability to provide you with tangible memories that will last you a lifetime.

If I'm being honest...

Ok...I have had the pleasure of shooting some pretty amazing kids in the last couple months, I almost think that the CUTEST kids on the planet somehow find their way to me.  Blessed?  I think so!  But...I have a confession.  If I am being honest I would have to admit that I am IN LOVE with the red heads that I have had the pleasure of photographing.  I don't know why, maybe it's their freckles, or maybe it is the uniqueness of them, or maybe it is that they are just so natural and simple and I somehow find the magic in their simplicity.  Whatever the case may be I am obsessed with them!  The color that I get when I photograph them is amazing!  They somehow seem to leap of the screen.  See for yourself.  Aren't they GORGEOUS?

This shoot was so much fun!  I knew it was going to be AMAZING when Mom emailed me and told me that she was wanting to go with a Bohemian theme :)  Yes!  I LUV it!

I had purchased the flower head piece worn by the older girl some time ago...I was dying to use it in a shoot.  I just knew it would fit in perfect!  If you love the head piece too you can find it on Etsy here.

Thank you Ashley for putting so much thought and effort into your shoot, it totally paid off!  You and your girls are DARLING!  I can't wait till next time.  ~fara

If you LUV this flower head piece, you can find it on Etsy here. It is DARLING and makes an amazing prop!
