Sherman Gardens Corona Del Mar Senior Photoshoot: Leslie, c/o 2014
Leslie is 100% fashionista. I'm pretty sure she's made of vintage lace and floral print silk. A Nordstrom Brass Plum Fashion Board member, Leslie wants to study something to do with fashion or marketing after high school. She has impeccable taste and a love of pretty much anything couture and girly. Ideally, her shoot would have taken place in a giant field of flowers (think Carlsbad flower fields which is closed for the summer). So the next best thing was…
Montage Resort, Laguna Beach Senior Portraits: Paige, c/o 2014
I pulled up at the Grand Salon in Brea (nothing new, as this is where I always meet my clients after their hair and makeup) walked through the salons big double doors and headed over to Bree's corner where I discovered my gorgeous client who was having this fantastic headpiece being placed on her beautifully curled blond locks. Made of what looks to be brushed gold plated necklace chain and unfinished amethyst rocks, this headpiece is unlike anything any of…
Abbot-Kinney Street Venice Beach Senior Shoot: Amber c/o 2014
Everyone loves Amber. She reminds me of a blond version of the lead character "Summer" who Zooey Deschanel plays in "500 Days of Summer". Not because she's a heart breaker (although from what I hear many a young man has his on this gorgeous girl), but because things become more popular because Amber wears them or does them. If Amber says that she buys all her clothes from the 99 cent store (do they even sell clothes?), their profits would…
Huntington Beach Senior Portraits: Jordan c/o 2014
After a fabulous visit with Bree at the Grand for hair and makeup styling, I picked up Jordan (ooooing and aweing at Bree's work!) and along with my fantastic intern Katy, headed down to Huntington Beach. Before we even began shooting Jordan's Senior session, the car was filled with all sorts of fun conversation, music, and laughter. It was a gorgeous day out, and I knew we were going to get some really beautiful shots.. of course it helps when…
Carbon Canyon Senior Photoshoot: Rachel c/o 2014
Rachel is a total tom boy, but also somehow really girly... my kind of girl! She loves to shoot shot guns with her dad, hike, rock climb, and do pretty much anything outside. For her shoot I decided to take this gorgeous blond to one of my favorite local hiking trails up in the Chino Hills State Park/ Brea's Carbon Canyon area. This is a well known and loved horse trail, with lots of dirt bikers and hikers and an…
