Life, Style, Photography: Senior Portraits Class of 2011 Michelle from Ca...

Senior Portraits Class of 2011 Michelle from Ca...: "Michelle was photographed at Petaluma's Historic Train Station. The old trains and wildflowers were a perfect setting for Michelle's choice of outfits and her lovely brown eyes!

Senior photo shoots are done outdoors and also in the studio. There is a beautiful outdoor garden with amazing architectural features at Mary's home studio. Sonoma county Beaches, Winery's, and Parks are also fantastic backgrounds!
I always suggest a complimentary consultation to discuss all the options.

Book a photo shoot before September 1, 2011 and receive a 10% discount when you mention this add.

Mary Jean Murphy Photography @ Stink on Kentucky St. Petaluma

Thanks to Stacy and her lovely daughters for helping me create all of these lovely Canvas Wrap Images! The Canvas images are so much fun, they don't need to be framed and come ready to hang or sit on a table top. The set of three 20 x 20 canvases are currently on view
at Stink. The girls were photographed in spring at a Winery in Sonoma. ( One of my favorite places to shoot all year round)

Stink has recently been remodeled and looks fantastic. The selection of clothes is amazing, I always find something I can't live without. Check out the photo of The "Little White dress" below.
Some of my favorite designers can be found there.. BCBG, Dylan George denim, James Perse, Free people, Juicy, and Michael Stars to name a few.


Does Petaluma have a great downtown or what?..

It has so much character, cool places to shop, and of course, great places to shoot.

The "Beaches" impressions below are actually photographs taken on polaroid film and then manipulated before they set. They were taken several years ago on the big island of Hawaii.
Stay tuned to see more of the Beaches series..

Happy Summer XOXO
Mary
