Portrait Session: Tori

I'm a little ashamed to admit this, but I complete forgot to make this blog post! These pictures were taken back in APRIL! I'm obviously killin' it in the blogging game.

Better late than never! My friend Tori and I had been talking about doing a photoshoot for a while before this, and we wanted to do something fun and different. The last time we had done a photoshoot was around 2010-2011, so we were definitely due for another one. I've always felt a strong love and connection for desert landscape, and I wanted to somehow incorporate that into this photoshoot. We were both down to travel a little out of town, so I did some research and found the Cactus Garden in Balboa Park, San Diego. Even three months later, I'm so stoked out how these pictures turned out, and I'm happy to finally be sharing them with you all!

**Story time**
During this photoshoot, my car was broken into! Tori and I were about 10 feet away from my car, but we didn't realize what was happening until it was too late. Unfortunately, my back passenger side window was smashed, and he got my purse. Luckily, I had taken all of my things out of my purse before the photoshoot and put them in my camera bag, and none of Tori's things had been stolen (we drove together), so it ended up being a very lucky, unlucky situation! Lesson learned: never leave anything in plain sight in your car, even if it's broad daylight at a busy intersection with many people around!
These pictures were totally worth it though. Enjoy!









I had a blast working with you Tori!

Senior Session: Vanessa

Hello everyone! It's been over a YEAR since I've done a senior session! Lucky for me, I was asked to take my boyfriend's cousin Vanessa's senior pictures while we were on vacation in Mission Bay, CA. Vanessa is a senior at Green Valley High School in Henderson, Nevada. She is involved with the volleyball team, as well as the AP program (brains and beauty!). After high school, Vanessa plans on transferring to a school in California, with her top picks including Cal State Fullerton, SDSU, CBU, and Whittier. Her dream is to earn a degree in Psychology, and eventually begin her own practice for marriage and family counseling or school counseling. Vanessa, you were a pleasure to work with and I had so much fun taking your senior pictures! I wish you the best in your academic future, and have an amazing senior year! Meet Vanessa!










 Congratulations Vanessa, and thank you!
