Senior Portraits

It’s time for Senior Portraits and honestly this may be my favorite kind of shoot at the moment. As a mom of three grown kids I know what it’s like to capture them in this moment in time and give them memories that they and their parents will treasure forever.

We pick the location that we both agree on and the kids bring at least 3 outfits: one super casual because I have them sitting on the ground (jeans or shorts and tank for girls, jeans and regular t-shirt or polo for boys), one more fun outfit (colorful button-down with a jacket for boys or flirty sundress for girls), and then anything else they choose. Girls have been doing long boho dresses which I love, and often times boys will bring a sports jersey or something that is meaningful.

Take a look at Grace below. She is a natural beauty and needed very little direction. If you want an editorial type shoot for senior portraits get in touch. I am almost booked for 2022 seniors!

A Summertime fashion photoshoot

It’s the middle of summer and the weather is beautiful. But the mornings in Montecito, California near Santa Barbara are still cool and foggy which is the best light for photoshoots. When you have fog and haze it creates a giant soft box for you creating gorgeous, even light.

I have been lucky enough to be able to photograph this gorgeous model a few times and last time I saw her she had long hair. She recently shaved her head and I am loving it. She pulled it off and her beauty really shines.

We shot on the railroad track (safely), on the streets of Montecito and then we ended up at the beach. Ahh summertime…
