Lorrie Prothero: STRAT-OSPHERE SENIOR

They arrived at my house and we got along as if over 20 years hadn't passed. Joey is a childhood friend that I haven't seen in years. With the help of FaceBook, we reconnected a few weeks ago. He mentioned that hi son, Joey Jr, was needing senior pictures done... So we set up a photoshoot in downtown Fullerton. On the drive down to our shoot location, Joey Jr. mentioned that he had taken photography in high school. I told him that he could 2nd shoot for me while while we shot his sister's photos. (More on her session tomorrow.) I was already excited because my "model" was also going to shoot with me... we get to the trunk to unload the gear and I find that he has a guitar case in there! Awesome, I thought, not only is he a photographer, he's also a musician... even more in common. We then get to his section of the shoot where he is the subject, I see that not only is he a guitar player, but he has with him the most beautiful Fender Stratocaster. It has a special meaning to him and his family, it belonged to his grandfather. Here are some shots from that session...
