Summerville Senior Portrait Photographer | Sonora Courthouse | Christine Dibble Photography

The Summerville High senior portrait season has been busy! And with so many seniors wanting portrait sessions that fit their personalities, I have been going to some new locations. Kurt really likes the Tuolumne County Sonora Courthouse. Yes, that is the very one that Ellie Nessler made famous! Although that happened long before Kurt’s birth, he thinks the history of the building is fascinating. His mom wanted some natural setting as well, so we started the session at Dragoon Gulch Trail before we worked our way downtown. While I really love nature as a backdrop, I realized I need to shoot more often in downtown Sonora!

  • Corey - What a handsome Sonora senior! The courthouse looks like it was the perfect location for this young man. I love that it had a special meaning to him – and I his Converse with the tie are awesome!

  • Michelle - What a great high school senior session you had with this handsome young man!! I love the idea that you choose 2 completely different locations for his session!! There is nothing more charming than a young man with a tie and concrete background….. the girls are going to love these photo’s!! Watch out Mom!! Christine Dibble Photography has such great relationships with Summerville High School Seniors and is able to capture them like no other photographer!

  • Samantha - Christine you have done it again! It is incredible how you incorporate the courthouse into your senior’s shoot so perfectly! This Summerville Senior must be so excited to get his portraits done in a place that reflects him perfectly. Of course though I love your outdoor portraits the best with the beautiful soft landscape behind.

  • Megan - What an amazing job you did with these Senior Portraits! The Sonora Courthouse is a great place for portraits too! I love how you were able to capture genuine smiles and the personality of this handsome senior boy. Great work!

  • Melanie Melugin - Now that is a handsome senior – those dimples!!

    Christine, you did an over the top amazing job at capturing him as he moves on to the most important season of his life – becoming his own man in his own life.

    Your use of poses, lighting and the change of clothing was fantastic and I would be so very thrilled to have seen these pictures if they were my own son.

    Great job!!

  • Allison Anderson - Great photos of this Summerville Senior! He looks like he knows what he wants and has his like planned out — or at least the next few years as he moves onto college or university. Great job with the lighting and location for these senior portraits.

  • Dawn - What a handsome young man! These senior portraits show off his personality and casual attitude. This guy looks like he is going places! Wonderful images:)

  • Nicola - I love Kurt’s senior portraits! It’s hard to choose a favourite… the colours in the photos at Dragoon Gulch Trail are amazing, but the last photo of Kurt at the Tuolumne County Sonora Courthouse is probably my favourite. Amazing job, Christine!

  • Jennifer Rittenberry - Summerville is a goldmine for fun and charismatic Seniors! You have photographed each one so beautifully and Kurt’s Senior Session at the Sonora Courthouse is nothing short of amazing. Your use of light and different scenes within each location is so creative and shows how talented you are as a professional photographer.
