Cal Poly Class of 2017

This was definitely my busiest senior portraits season, and also the most exciting because after five years I finally got to graduate alongside all my friends!

Dune Goddess

The magnificence of this awe-inspiring location with the timeless beauty of a woman in a flowing gown makes for images I've only ever seen in my dreams.

Dani

For the studio shots, I wanted to capture the photos you'd normally see of Olympic athletes: physique portraits in dramatic, beautiful light. The shots at the pool are environmental portrait-inspired.

Maxwell

This weekend I had the pleasure of shooting Maxwell's graduation pictures. Softbox lighting + Maxwell's signature businessman smile = timeless portraits.

Leap

A senior portrait shoot with dancers never turns out the way it's supposed to. You'll probably jump, twirl, climb your way onto signs, fountains, trees, and possibly restricted places. Being on the ground was never that fun anyway. :)
