The other reason, and quite possibly the most important one, we visit is for YOU! We have received such a high number of requests for family and senior portraits from Los Gatos and other Bay Area families - we do our best to visit often so we can serve all our "fans"! We are so glad and fortunate to have so many loyal supporters of our studio!! </p> <p>During last week's trip to Wildcat territory we had the pleasure of working with 2 amazing LGHS seniors, Katie and Melissa. Both girls are varsity long distance track stars who are stunning reps for Los Gatos High in both athletic talent and beauty. We couldn't have asked for better ladies to kick off our LGHS class of 2011 senior sessions!
