šŸŽ“I know I say this every time I post senior photos, but I LOVE these sessions so much!! It’s one on one and I get to kinda live out my dream of doing fashion photography cuz it often feels like I’m working with a trained model. I mean let’s be real, this generation knows how to take I pic! Meet graduating senior, Laird. Going to UCSB to swim on scholarship! 6’7ā€ puts him at the tallest person I’ve ever photographed, but what an awesome session we had! I’m so pumped for all the exciting moments that await him, the challenges that will stretch him, and the achievements he will experience in the next 4 years! šŸŽ‰

It was so fun to meet the rest of Karen’s family! I did her underwater maternity photos for her son! She was my very first underwater maternity client and after her session I realized there were so many more possibilities for all my underwater goals! I am so glad I got to capture her family in the sprawling pink wildflowers this spring!! It always takes my breath away! The littles had so much fun playing in the flowers and finding snails🐌. I may have put a snail in my camera to help trap their attention! šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚. It worked!

Love this sweet family and their ā€˜Warrior Cancer Beating’ daughter!! She is so brave and absolutely the biggest joy filled child! I had so much fun taking these photos to help them celebrate Ellie’s victory! And coincidentally she is ringing the bell today at the hospital!! Way to go!! I especially love this first image of Lauren! Behind every warrior is an even stronger mama! ā™„ļø

Senior Sessions are in full swing and they are a blast! The sunset was just asking for a silhouette shot, and we answered the call! The clouds are my favorite part…shocking. I’m Obsessed with clouds in general. They just add a little drama that round out the photoā™„ļøšŸ§”šŸ’›. Thank You for being down for all the ideas! You were a blast! More sneaks coming soon!

I’m so excited to share this underwater maternity session from last summer. I wasn’t allowed to post it since the first image was in a Print Competition where it hung in an art gallery in Atlanta. Although it didn’t win an award, it is an image I’m very proud of. But in all honesty Valerie did all the work. Getting into this pose so beautifully AND being pregnant is no small task. It was such an enjoyable and rewarding experience photographing her. It was so fun that she hired me a couple of weeks later to try some new ideas she had. She has a passion for swimming and it was a very special experience for her to be in the water honoring her pregnancy with this sessionā™„ļø. The feeling was mutual!

It’s Senior Season!!! I LOVE this time of year! Wildflowers, gorgeous sunsets and soon to be grads full of anticipation and excitement for their next chapter! It’s also my Go-To time for drone shots!! Seniors are always down for the adventure! šŸ’— This session was manifested by my own desires to shoot in this field one last time before they mow it. My gut was telling me they were gonna mow it Monday morning. So with determination I sent out an email Friday night advertising a mini session in this field for 2 days later at a discount! I got a bite and it was for this awesome Campo Senior!! We had an amazing session!! And Yes, Monday morning rolled around and everything was gone! I’m so thankful I got to capture this gorgeous senior surrounded by one of the most magical spring fields in my town. This all star is heading to UOP for D1 Swim!! She’s unstoppable! So excited to hear more about where her swimming takes her!
