Having grown up in Livermore, CA, I love working with clients in the Bay Area. Sharing today some of my work as a Livermore senior photographer!

Livermore Senior Photographer

I am a Livermore senior photographer based out of Chicago and serving many locations in CA during the academic breaks. I often travel to the Bay Area, Monterey Bay Area, Santa Barbara, and San Diego areas and am well-versed in doing photoshoots in these locations.

Photoshoot Locations in Livermore, CA

One of the things I like best about senior photos in Livermore is that there is such variety. You can of course get the iconic golden hills and grapes, but there’s also quirky murals downtown, and Victorian estates. There’s definitely some fun photoshoot locations!

Victorian Estates

Looking for something a little different for your Livermore senior photos? A Victorian estate might fit the bill. There are a number of beautiful estates in the Bay Area. I’m happy to suggest location options depending on if you’re an animal lover, looking for something more rustic, or wanting something more upscale.

Work from this client’s photoshoot was featured by Senior Style Guide and Monochrome Seniors magazine. 🙂

Grape Vines

Nothing says NorCal quite like the iconic golden fields and sprawling hills of grapes! It can actually be a bit of a challenge to find the perfect vineyard for your Livermore senior photos as there are restrictions on many locations. I’m happy to share my favorite fields to get this look in your portraits!

Downtown

As a Livermore senior photographer, I love it when clients want to include locations that are a nod to their hometown. Nothing quite says hometown as well as an urban photoshoot in downtown Livermore with the murals! Incorporating your favorite hang out spots is always fun. I would LOVE to do a photoshoot at the Donut Wheel!

Olive Groves

While Livermore is mainly known for its wineries and the Livermore lab, it also has a beautiful history as an olive-growing region. Interested in olive grove senior portraits? This Livermore senior photographer knows exactly where to go!

Garden Center

Looking for some floral wow-factor in your portraits without leaving Livermore? As a Livermore senior photographer I can attest that this is a beautiful option!

At the Library

While photos inside the library are often a great idea (with permission!), photos outside the library can be a beautiful way to show off your interests while maximizing that beautiful California sunshine.

Client Thoughts

Here’s what my client had to say about her photoshoot!

After my long search for a photographer I found many beautiful photos that Kristen had previously taken of other seniors. I decided that I wanted her to take my senior photos and when emailing her she seemed like the perfect fit. She made sure that my photos where personal and asked me many questions about myself and what I wanted out of these photos. Not only was the communication wonderful, the shoot was so much fun. She made me feel so comfortable and confident, which I don’t often feel. Kristen was the best photographer I could have ever asked for and took amazing photos of me that I love. I am so happy with the whole experience and would be so glad to get the opportunity to shoot with her again!

Kristen Hazelton is a multi award-winning Chicago, IL and San Francisco Bay Area high school senior, university graduate, and family photographer. She also photographs in San Diego, CA, Santa Barbara, CA, Monterey, CA, and Seattle, WA. She is a firm believer in human rights and welcomes LGBTQ+ and nonbinary clients.
