The Enchanted Forest, Moss Beach, CA

If you know my work at all, you know I photograph A LOT in this magical forest.  I want to highlight why… besides the obvious… its breathtaking.  But also versatile.  I love this forest because it allows for so many different looks, backdrops, colors and weather elements.  I also find a challenge when I do capture somewhere a lot… to remember to make it look different and to really bring in the personality of the subjects within.  So I thought I’d showcase a few of my favorite shots in this forest.  If you love this forest as much as I do and may want to use it for the setting of your next portrait… lets talk!

 

Senior Portraits

I love this stage of life.  The world is their oyster… they can do anything they want in life… its a clean slate… and its a crossroads to a new journey that really needs to be captured!

No doubt about it, this is the crazy time of year for all.. but in my profession its seems tenfold… the motivation, in my opinion, is holiday madness.

And, I won’t lie, it’s a great way to invest in an awesome portrait of your loved ones, get holiday cards ready, and maybe even a few Christmas gifts out of the way…. However, here is my caution I am offering. DON’T FORCE IT.

Now that we are on the home stretch, don’t knee jerk and try to make this happen. Although I am sure we still have some great days ahead of us, busy schedules, and unpredictable weather can cause for some needs to reschedule, etc. This ultimately should be about capturing the best of you and your family, and it will be perfect when the stars align. Waiting until January or even later, is always an option. The light is beautiful, and although we are in full blown winter then, we live in California and have been known to have amazing temperatures in those months.

In fact, as an incentive to be patient I am offering all sessions at just $150 for the months of January, February and March. Now, with this said, if you are one of the lucky ones to capture it before the holidays (good weather and energy) then yeah team!

Have a wonderful holiday season!

Senior Portraits // Half Moon Bay and San Francisco Bay Area

This is such a tender time in one’s journey into the next chapter of their lives. No longer a child, yet not quite an adult… however, I will say this, there is no other portrait that will resurface in your lifetime as that of your senior portrait. Your parents will showcase it within their homes, your friends may keep it as a keepsake, your yearbook will memoralize this look for generations to come…. Take control on how you want it to look and let me help you capture this the way you’d like it to be shown.

Think about what you love, nature, ocean, sports, hobbies, and bring that into the look that you would like to capture for the image that tells your story thus far in your life.

Capture these within the months of January and February and receive 20% off any package.
