Wes Anderson inspired Senior Portrait Session in The Funk Zone, Santa Barbara California.

For Kendall’s shoot we started with the always beautiful field of flowers set for her first creative portion, then did a bunch of fabulous studio looks followed by the afternoon spent exploring Lotusland. We finished day one with my all time favorite pool shoot! Day two saw a few more studio looks and then a day trip out to the Pismo dunes for an adventure in my epic 25ft parachute dress!

One of my favorite locations can only be used for two weeks in July, and it's always fun to see who I get to photograph there each year. The Lavender Farm close to Los Olivos is a little slice of South of France heaven. The ever so lovely Carly chose to do her senior session there, and it was such a blast.

We took "model for a day" to a whole new level with this two-day extravaganza I call the Dream Shoot! We shot over two whole days for Megan's Dream Shoot, using 13 outfits 4 locations, and did two unique creative shots. We did a variety of fashion-inspired looks in the studio, some casual looks at the Botanic Gardens, something elegant and sophisticated at the Music Academy. We went full glam at the beach, Megan got to don my 25-foot vintage parachute dress for a fun in-studio shoot, and then there was the ever so epic pool shoot.

Two days of the celebrity style experience with 11 outfits, two creative shoots, and a road trip to the dunes in Pismo Beach!

Complete Session included a vintage floral creative shoot, a funk zone shoot and finished with a beautiful sunset at Butterfly Beach.

We did her whole shoot in the studio with all artificial light. And Skyler's shoot included my first foray into beauty photography with her gold-themed creative shoot.

A couple girls from the role model team got to do their senior portraits in Palm Springs and Joshua Tree.

We did various dance portraits, some studio portraits for her senior session, and then finished at the Botanic Gardens.
