Little Ricky | portraits

While photographing Aissa, Little Ricky jumped in for a few poses. He is too cute and I loved his energy!

I was able to convince mom to sit for one pose... Love this one!

Introducing Aissa | 2013 Senior

I've known Aissa and her family since she was a toddler. Matter of fact, I use to watch Aissa for my good friend Sonia. At the time, we lived across the street from one another (Camp Pendleton, CA). It's amazing to see her all grown up, and I can't believe she'll soon graduate high school. I can remember having her in a backpack and exploring southern CA together. When I began art school, Aissa was one of my first models. I use to photograph her all the time. Man... time sure does fly!

This is just part one of Aissa's session. Check back for part two.

Introducing Ella | 2013 Senior

Ella was a delight to photograph. She has the purest and most piercing blue eyes. Both mom and daughter were fun to chat with, and I loved how they were open to try a few things... climbing on rocks and changing locations. For example, on the way to the session, I caught sight of this field next to a VFW and thought, oh man... how cool if I can get them to follow me back this way after our agreed destination. Ella and mom were both game, and I'm so glad we were able to catch a few images of her in the field. I love the image of her sitting in the tall grass. So beautiful and natural. Thanks mom and Ella for a great session!

a quick sneak peek | photography

photography playtime. i love dressing up my girls and taking photos of them. luckily, roan loves it too. she is fascinated with fashion and audrey hepburn. we found roan's little black dress at H&M and the shoes are by Nine West (thrift store find!).

i downloaded another set of jessica drossin's textures. i LOVE her textures. the one above is called sea storm. in PS, i applied "soft light" and then knocked down the transparency a bit. in addition, i erased some of the texture from roan herself. prior to adding the texture i used rad lab actions. the rad lab mixture i used... lights on 53%, super fun happy 90% and maple 100%.
