Senior Photographer | Aliyah ~ Class of 2025 | Pacific Grove, CA

Aliyah’s Senior session is one you are absolutely going to want to scroll through! We did have a little bit of chilly weather, It’s Monterey Bay so we expected it, but the evening was perfect. Aliyah’s outfits were perfectly coordinated for the location and it all came together so beautifully.

I have known Aliyah for a few years, seeing her on the sidelines of Cowboys football games and performing for SHS Competition Song Pom. She is just as hard working as she is gorgeous. When we scheduled her session I immediately started planning in my head. Knowing her style and confident nature I knew we would have so much fun!

If you love the colorful sunsets, this is your reminder to book your Senior Session in the FALL!! If I told you these photos were taken in November, would you believe me??

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how beautiful this day was?!

These are some of my favorite sunset photos!

If you are looking for the perfect coastal sunset session, let’s get planning! All sessions are customized to your personal style and the sky is the limit!

Senior Photographer | Cole ~ Class of 2025 | Carmel Valley, CA

I met Cole one Summer when our back fence was being replaced. My son and Cole had “the biggest back yard” and treehouse with the fence down. When it was time for the fence to go back up and separate the back yards again, they tried begging for us to leave one board unscrewed so they could use it as a gate. Fast friends lead to over 10 years! From riding skateboards and bikes around the block to loading up their dirt bikes in their trucks for a day out, it feels like it all flew by.

It is extra fun when I know my Seniors personally. Knowing their personalities helps me to customize the session so everyone is comfortable and we can have some fun! It is also important to know what kind of photos they are looking for in a finished product, so I can make sure to have the correct lighting equipment and locations picked out.

Boys always ask me “What should I bring for pictures?” My answer, Everything!! If you think you will want it, bring it! And I mean EVERYTHING … Truck, Yes! … Motorcycle, Yes! … Sports equipment, Yes! … Your Dog, Yes!

Congrats Cole! I am beyond proud to be present for this milestone in your life.

SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHER | Remi ~ Class of 2025 | Pacific Grove, CA

It is my absolute please to be able to share this beautiful senior. Remi and I met on her picture day … I know that seems crazy!!! But, it didn’t take long until Remi, her mom, and I were laughing and practicing our catwalk together. For Senior Sessions it is not uncommon to visit 2 locations in under 3 hours. We just need to be efficient and send up a little prayer that the unpredictable Monterey County weather cooperates. I have had to finish a senior picture shoot on another day due to that thick marine layer that likes to creep up on us in the evenings. But, Remi got beautiful warm weather with almost no wind and a sunset with no fog! Lucky Girl!

Remi ~ Class of 2025, Carmel Valley, CA

I have an obsession with chasing that warm glowing sunshine, and Remi was just as excited! We can make any cold day look warm with the right sunshine.

The beach is my happy place. So when my clients request to visit my favorite places, I am always up for it. It doesn’t matter the day, the month. I will be there!

I absolutely love the glowing light and the bare feet!

Remi ~ Class of 2025, Pacific Grove, CA

This dress is absolute perfection for channeling your inner nature goddess.

I memory serves, Remi is off to UCLA in the fall and we wish her nothing but the best for this next chapter in her life.

Senior Portrait Photographer | Emily ~ Class of 2025 | Carmel Valley, CA

I have been so excited for the Class of 2025! My own son will graduate this year and I have known this group of kids since they were in T-ball and pee wee cheer. This also means each one of these sessions has been emotional for me. I am so honored to be the one to take Emily’s Senior Pictures. I still remember when she did Junior Pee Wee cheer with my daughter. Emily always had the cutest smile and bouncy little ponytail.

Over the years I have taken HUNDREDS of pictures of Emily on the field and off! But these were special to me. To see the beautiful young lady she has become and to be present on that journey is not something most people get to do in their day to day job. That makes my job special! We knew we needed something to highlight her time as a Cowboy cheerleader, tennis player, and swimmer. We also live in one the most beautiful places in the United States, so it wasn’t hard. The rustic nature of Carmel Valley was the perfect place to start!

We could not have asked for better sunshine. Emily was a trooper and held up to the cold with a smile! In true Monterey County fashion, even if the sun is shining, the wind is freezing!!!

Emily, Asilomar State Beach, Pacific Grove, CA

We also have some of the most beautiful beaches in Monterey County, and we were blessed with a gorgeous sunset for Emily’s session. And can we talk about how gorgeous she looks in blue?!?!

A heartfelt Congratulations to Emily!! Salinas High School, Class of 2025!!
