Behind the Scenes

Ahrend Studios Photography recently took a few Class of 2016 seniors on a photo session around Fallbrook.  We had so much fun! our seniors were great, so photogenic, and crazy. 









There are times when we just don't think about the person or people that make a photo session happen.  Of course there is our photographer, Shelby is one of the best - so creative, helpful, and relaxed.  Although she won't admit had hard she works, we can tell by the droplets of sweat on her forehead and that look of always thinking for the next best pose.











Kaylee came on this photo shoot, she was our pack horse plus shade holder, wind blocker, and sun protector.  Kaylee is Shelby's niece; hard worker and never ever complains but does her job without question.




My job, Ellen, was the most fun this time around.  I got to take a few of these behinds the scene pictures.  I loved it!  But sometimes I am doing what Kaylee did and smoothing  hair, remove sticks and twigs on the path or a tiny piece of lint from clothing. 







And of course there are our models - YOU! We know you work hard as we tell you to twist and turn, bend this way, cross your legs that way, sit here, chin up, nose to the left, tip your head right, and on and on.  But we think your favorite part is seeing the great pictures we take and the selfies you take because you want to share how fun it is for senior portraits.  





We know YOU are what makes our job fun!

All Grandma wants for Christmas

Are you like me and can't think what to get Grandma and Grandpa for Christmas?  At this point in their life they don't usually need much.  Things just collect dust.

Here at Ahrend Studios we have just the thing that won't collect dust and will bring a smile every time it is looked at - PICTURES OF THE GRANDCHILDREN!


 That's right, what grandparent can resist a picture of their grandchild.  What is even more amazing is when you can pull all of them together for a picture.  That is what the Green family did, they brought the grandchildren in our studio and took all the pictures.  Plus the bonus, grandma and grandpa came too for their pictures with them.





Now I know Christmas is just right around the corner and you may not have time to bring the whole gang in but Ahrend Studios offers gift certificates.  Right now through Dec. 23 we have a special of with a minimum $200.00 gift certificate purchase you can get a added bonus of $50.00 to that gift certificate.  






Aren't they adorable!?!  Grandchildren will melt their hearts.

Merry Christmas from Ahrend Studios!

Joy Life



In the eyes of a child there is nothing that brings them more joy 
than to feel all the goodness of life.  
Shelby took these photos at Los Jigueros Preserve in Fallbrook
 just letting this little one experience.
