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?!

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!

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.

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.
