Celebrating a milestone
Best Senior Photographer Lancaster, California
I met with Ava and her parents to design her senior photography shoot. She mentioned that she played basketball and had a pink guitar. They also mentioned a pair of sunglasses that had special meaning to them.
We met first in the studio for the traditional portraits with cap and gown and black V-drape, along with a few of the basketball uniform.
Then we headed to the Prime Desert Woodland Preserve.
Doesn’t she look like Taylor Swift in some of the photos with the pink guitar?
The last portrait I did of her was one of my all time favorites, looking off to the future.
I strive to make the senior portraits memorable for each client. Looking for different spots in a location, tailored to just that person.
Best of luck Ava, I know you’ll do great things!

Celebrating a milestone
Joshua Style Engagement Shoot
Sometimes you donate to a great cause and you are lucky enough to meet some great people.
I was asked by a long time client, Shari if I would donate a gift certificate to a worthy cause. It’s an event to raise support for the therapy dog teams of Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles. Childrens Hospital Los Angeles Titiana K9 Fund
It’s for a great cause and I jumped at it!
The Gala was held in October last year, and I honestly forgot all about it. Then Laurie called me a couple of months ago and we chatted for a bit. She was wanting engagement photos and we decided on the Prime Desert Woodland Preserve
I met Laurie and Edward at my studio and then off we went to the desert. The corvette was a fun surprise and looked great against the orange sunset. The day was perfect and not windy.
We had so much fun and I would love to do it all over again.
See their review here.
“Julie is amazing. Made me feel comfortable taking pictures. She’s super friendly, nice, reliable and great at what she does. Made this whole experience easy and fun. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask her she will answer them all. Come check her out!!

Modeling Headshots, Lancaster, CA
On a breezy (and I mean super gusty) January day, we headed out to do some modeling
headshots of Michaela, in Lancaster, CA.
She opted for a more urban look, so we headed to downtown Lancaster.
Luckily there were some hay bales left over from some of the holiday activities, and I loved the
way the hay was the same color family as her poncho. The first photo was taken in the parking
lot of the Western Hotel.
From there we ventured to MOAH, I really liked the charcoal gray walls of the exterior.
My brave assistant was holding the reflector, and trying to not get blown away to the next county!
While Michael was changing clothes, I walked around and found some other locations,
perhaps out of the wind? I liked the MOAH sign with her blue sweater and blue eyes. I am
amazed that her hair held up so great, come to think of it, we did put a ton of hairspray in it!
It was a fun time, she was a real trooper and the results were beautiful.
Best of luck to you in your future endeavors!

n a very early summer morning, even before the sun came up, I ventured to the new row of businesses that just recently opened in Palmdale. It is a row of great businesses: Krispy Kreme, which is open 24 hours (who knew!) and has a drive through. Also included is Pizza Rev, California Bank and Trust, Yogurtland, and The Habit. It was great fun because I was able to photograph from near dark to when the sun came up. It is a great commercial location and when you have professional photos of your construction or exterior of your building, it makes a big difference! It helps to present a very professional image to your clients. I know that these businesses are very successful as when I went to talk to the managers, each business was jam packed! If you are interested in commercial photography of your business or real estate, give Sutton Photography a call.

Location Photo shoots

If you are looking for something different, try a location photo shoots. Look no further than the BLVD in downtown Lancaster, CA. Here are two senior photo shoots that we did with very different looks. I love the look of a dressy styling with an urban background. Both seniors had completely different looks due to their clothing, and they was they posed as well as the lighting. Whether you want dramatic lighting or more natural we can do it! The two sessions were styled differently as Philip is into skate boarding, modeling and acting. Alexis is both a girly girl and an athlete so we were able to accomplish both!

Senior Portrait Extreme Session
Senior Portraits Extreme Session includes an on-location of your choosing as well as in- studio portraits. We traipsed out to the forest and had a blast! When you go outdoors for a photo shoot, anything can happen, from the weather and wind to little critters. No bugs, but possible poison ivy. Ashley was game for anything, so that made this so much fun. When you go outdoors for a photo shoot, anything can happen, from the weather and wind to little critters. Then about a week , later we met here at the studio, and did lots of fun things with all her personal interests – from pageants to sports! Loads of fun, covering everything from candid senior portraits to the more formal graduation photography style.

Photography Palmdale High School
It was a reunion of sorts for these 3 best friends. About ten years after they graduated the best friends came back to the campus of Palmdale High School for photography. It was more than a photography session ,however, it was a trip back in time to the different places on campus that meant so much to these friends. The 3 friends, Morgan, Trisha, and Sheena were buddies from the flag team. We photographed their favorites “hangouts”. Under the tree where they ate lunch nearly everyday. The front of the school, showing the logo of the school, and the track and field. We loved the bleachers, and of course, picked the exact same time as the students were “running” the bleachers to do our photography shoot! It was fun though, especially as I was not the one running. That looked a lot like work! I couldn’t believe how big the school and it’s grounds are. There are tennis courts, a handball court, so many basketball courts you can’t count. and the football field is huge!
The shoot was all about these 3 friends, reminiscing about old times! They wore their letter jackets and came ready for fun. This will add another memory to their friendship in the years to come.
