South Lake Tahoe Photographer | Lupine field photo session
These two lovely people found a perfect spot for us to shoot in South Lake Tahoe. The area was so breathtaking – a meadow, a river, and a lupine field all on the edge of the lake – making for some truly beautiful shots. Thanks, Cassandra and Steve! I had a great time working with you.
Santa Cruz Photographer | Creative Headshots
Had a great time working to get Elliot some updated professional shots with a creative edge. He is a designer, so I wanted to be sure his own creativity shone through!

Christina took my last slot for senior photos, and I'm so glad she did! She is super sweet and is on her way to being a dentist! (Or possibly further specializations!)

After getting her own photos done, Karen brought her four housemates back for a group photoshoot, which was a lot of fun. It was interesting to see all these personalities come together! I think they should all go model for Free People.

These girls woke up early to catch some morning fog. For being so early, they all had such great energy that I think shines through in these shots. Thanks again, ladies! I had a great time working with you.

Kaylee was so great to work with. Originally from a dense, urban area in China, she wanted something more city-esque, which is always fun! We went downtown to the Funk Zone for some grittier shots, but not before we stopped at a great bookstore on the way. I love the color, shapes, and energy in these shots, not to mention her contagious smile! Thanks again, Kaylee, and congratulations on graduating!

Questa came to me with her own unique vision, which I am always happy to hear. She wanted her session to portray two different sides of her personality: the quiet and the loud. I think the resulting images are lovely, and I loved being a part of making her vision come to life.

Three different flower patches + "wheat" fields + warm sunlight = bliss

This senior shoot was definitely one of a kind. I would simply describe Nicole as "fabulous." She is funny, energetic, and probably the most adventurous person I've had the pleasure of working with so far; this is evident in her train trestle and ocean photos. She spent a semester at sea traveling the world and used some scarves from her travels for part of the shoot. During our consultation she recited a disturbing-yet-wonderful poem she had written off the top of her head. I think that says it all – she is an interesting, fabulous human being. And I hope these photos reflect that! Thanks again, Nicole!
El Capitan Canyon & Gaviota State Park
I don't think either of us knew what we were getting into for this shoot. This was the first time I had been to both of these places (the train trestle and the wind caves), and based on some vague research into each, I had certain expectations. One thing I didn't expect was a 60-foot section of nearly vertical climbing to get to the caves. Needless to say, Joré was definitely more in shape than I was. She is involved in theater at UCSB (I love theater people!), and I had a great time working with her.

Meet Natalie, another lovely UCSB senior! We had a lot of fun on this Free People-inspired shoot – especially with the bathtub! Despite the cold wind we found up in the mountains, I think the shots we got are one-of-a-kind and so warm and golden. Thanks again, Natalie! And congratulations!

I just love working with seniors! For the first (and last) time, I am also a college senior, and it's so fun to be surrounded by so much enthusiasm for UCSB and graduation. Julia and I were able to get some great shots over at the Butterfly Preserve – isn't her smile contagious?

Had such a great time exploring this magical forest and beach bluff with Ariana. I hope this series accurately reflects her joyful, creative spirit!

I knew Julia's shoot was going to be fun from the moment she asked to incorporate a skateboard. I found out she was also a surfer, so we decided to make use both kinds of boards for her photos! I love how full of motion these photos are. Julia has such a magnetic personality, which will hopefully suit her well at law school in the fall!
SANTA YNEZ, CALIFORNIA PHOTOGRAPHER
What's not to love about a red polka dot dress, California poppies, green hillsides, and red balloons? Had a great time working with Jessica - she was so enthusiastic and had many wonderful ideas. I love working with people who inspire me in new directions - and help me get through barbed wire fences!
