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!!!

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!!

The Monterey Peninsula is full of Families from all over the world! We live in an amazing vacation destination, and some of this is due to the Military Presence here in Monterey. Sometimes these families have to pick and leave suddenly due to transfers and assignments. When this happens, what would you think is important to do before you go? Pack, cancel utilities, look for a new house?  OH! ..... and take some Family Photos to document the time your family spent here in Carmel!  That is exactly what the Baker Family had in mind.

This Story all started when a Mom sat down at the wrong table ...  a year ago, a group of moms went out for some Mom time and to see the Movie Bad Moms!  While we were waiting and chatting this adorable woman walks up and asks if we are there for the Bad Moms Movie? We say "YES! have a seat and some snacks!!"  Well, after about an hour, she realizes that we ARE NOT the group of Moms she was supposed to meet that night! But we were fun and she decided to stay. We had so much fun, and stayed after the movie to hang out and chat some more! Fast forward one year, and she is having another beautiful baby and she called ME! to photograph this part of her story for her.
