Newport Beach Senior Photo Shoot, Sarah c/o 2013

Sarah is playful. Can you tell? One of my fabulous Senior Rep's, I have known Sarah for about two years and have enjoyed getting to know her sweet, loving, and tender, yet crazy and goofy personality. After our group shoot, I just knew that her solo shoot would be one of the super crazy random fun ones. Her playful silly side would be a fun twist to many of the girls I photograph. I was thrilled after picking Sarah up from Bree's {The Grand Salon} and driving down to the Newport Coast, that Sarah had brought with her a pair of these silly mustache glasses. FUN!

We had a great time exploring Lido Island, searching for stripes (Sarah LOVES everything striped), and chatting while wandering around some modern architecture on Lido. Lower Newport is full of all sorts of fun textures and modern clean lines mixed with old structures. We loved seeing all the different backgrounds we could find, and even braved walking up to front doors fr the beautiful backgrounds they would provide. Sarah was so much fun!

Sarah's pintrest board was full of beautiful natural settings and water, and once she texted me that she wanted to wear her prom dress for her last look, I knew Back Bay was going to be our final spot. Ok, Envision.. the back bay cycling/walking path and a random girl in a prom dress. Add in a funny looking black pop-up fitting room and road bikers rushing past us and you get the feel for our final location. It was awesome, and a little hysterical, but mostly awesome. The sun was setting and it was an exquisite scene and gorgeous light. And Sarah was able to show off her softer more serious side. I loved it! And bonus, no one ran us over. I call that a photo win!

We had an absolutely wonderful time. Sarah, my little love bug, blessings this year. Our Lord has something absolutely amazing in store for you and your tender, compassionate heart. Can't wait to see what He does in your life as you wrap up your Senior year!! Big plans He has!!
