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 absolutely gorgeous backdrop for Rachel. It was perfect. Another trifecta day: beautiful girl, perfect light, and incredible backgrounds. LOVE!

Bree did an absolutely sensational job with Rachel's hair and makeup styling (she can be contacted at the Grand Salon in Brea), and I loved the very girly outfits Rachel picked. We explored the trails, bridges, rock beds, and ranger station and talked about boys, and love, and all things relationship. I'm pretty sure I "older sister" lectured Rachel on relationships in high school, lol, but hey.. some things never change, boys can be pretty dumb, and so can girls. It really was a fantastic time getting to know each other better and hanging out shooting and playing in the fields.. much love to this gorgeous young woman! Blessings for a fabulous Senior year!
