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 my other girls have braved to wear thus far. Ever. I saw it and it was SO fantastic! I was insanely excited and eager to get going right away. So Paige, her just as gorgeous mother Jennifer, and I all jumped into my SUV and began our, albeit long, journey down to Laguna Beach's Montage Resort, along the way talking about Paige and her former truck racing skills and her dad's current major ones!

Once we had finally parked and made our way down to the lovely sidewalk area spanning a huge the length of ocean and the beach side Cap-Cod-esque view of the resort, we were greeted with fantastic landscaping alongside rough and beautiful cliffs with the bright blue ocean below us. Fabulous geometric wood fencing, succulents, flowers, and all sorts of gorgeous finished rock areas were a perfect backdrop for my gorgeous Senior and her beautiful headpiece and darling little Free People Grey dress. Of course that was just the start of our day. Post Montage we explored some fun back beachy alleys in Laguna and finally made our way down to the water. Paige's outfits were all so much fun, and I'm SO happy with her shoot. Enjoy!!!
