There are few places in California as breathtaking as Big Sur, and for Marissa’s senior portrait session, the dramatic coastline provided the perfect backdrop to celebrate the end of an incredible high school journey.
We began the evening along the rugged ocean cliffs, where the golden-hour sunlight cast a warm glow across the landscape. Wearing a beautiful white dress, she effortlessly combined elegance and youthful charm as the waves crashed below and the sun illuminated every moment. The natural beauty of Big Sur created a timeless setting that felt both adventurous and sophisticated.
Y’all … finding favorite photos from this session to make a blog post had me tearing up. It brought to my attention how long it has been since my girls graduated and started their grown up years. Seeing these photos of my sweet Ava has me reminiscing and missing the days with them.
Samantha’s senior portrait session was extra special in more ways than one. Recently relocated to Texas, she and her mom made the trip back to California’s beautiful Central Coast—a place filled with memories, familiarity, and the perfect backdrop for such a meaningful milestone. I felt incredibly honored to be the one to capture this moment for them.
The benefit of living and working here in Monterey county, is the abundance of beautiful locations that we get to shoot in! This session was no exception. Travis’ family ranch was gorgeous and had the best views of the valley!
I got to know Ashley over the course of her Senior Year at Salinas High School. She is one of the sweetest and most caring young ladies I have ever met. We would chat at sports games where she was fulfilling the important task of being first aid/athletic trainer through her FAST academy classes. Ashley always had a kind greeting and a genuine smile for everyone, and I am so grateful that I got to know her.
