I am always wowed every single time with all of my beautiful clients, and this girl was no exception. She simply amazed me with her nature and graceful beauty. I wish I had been this gorgeous and non-awkward when I was 16, ha! We had such a blast exploring the incredible Crystal Cove State Park with her family after grabbing some delicious french fries and shakes at Ruby’s Shake Shack.

A couple months ago, I assisted and guest spoke at a conference for young girls called Pure of Heart, at Calvary Chapel Cypress. I wanted to bless one gorgeous girl there with a full session experience with me, so I hosted a raffle and nearly everyone participated. She just happened to be the winner, so here we are with the final results! It was an amazing and perfect day to say the least!

 

 

 

Miss M has been riding boards for as long as she can remember: surfboards, longboards, skateboards…. she can do it all, and quite well. I was so impressed to hear about her dad being a surfer and ocean lover, so I insisted that we include those elements in her photos: skateboard AND the beautiful ocean! I even got to learn some valuable things about “high tide” and other tidbits of ocean knowledge that my midwestern soul knows nothing of.

There is a total new appreciation for the sports, and although I can’t balance for beans (how does she do it?!), I was thrilled to photograph her completely in her element with the things she loves most in life!

So happy for this experience, dear girl! Ride on!
