This one of my favorite sessions on the blog, from back when we lived in beautiful Arizona…
One of the things I love most about living out west is the surprisingly beautiful surroundings. Having grown up in Michigan, I’m accustomed to leaves, grass, and everything green. Like many, I pictured only rocks, sand, and cacti here before we made Sierra Vista our home nearly three years ago. I had no idea how truly gorgeous it was here. It’s been the most amazing place to grow my business in portraiture!
With the new school year upon us, it’s time for 2016 seniors to book their customized senior portrait session! I am currently building my HS Senior portfolio, and this sweet girl was my first senior session this season. We had to fight the rain to finally hold our session, but it worked out beautifully!! The rain that postponed us also made the yellow flowers prolific, and we captured some gorgeous backdrops in our images.
I had the most wonderful time photographing Rachel! She has the most amazing smile and was so comfortable in front of the camera- and it shows! I am beyond thrilled to share these stunning images!
Another awesome thing about Arizona??? The incredible sunsets. And we’re talking almost every single night! I was glad I brought along my speedlight for Rachel’s session as it allowed us to capture a few images after the sun dipped down and gave us that amazing pink and orange sky! {swoon}.
