Last weekend, I had the joy of creating unique senior portraits with Jessica. She has such an elegant grace about her - as I envisioned our shoot in the days and weeks preceeding it, I couldn’t help but see her in a field of bright and beautiful flowers.
So, each time I passed by the lavendar bushes in a shopping center near my home, I would think of Jessica; I was so happy she was open to shooting in a place that didn’t necessarily seem all that beautiful. I often think an on-location photographer’s perspective is so very different from what might be expected; someone sees Panda Express and Denny’s, and I see a ditch full of beauty…. No really, I do. My husband gives me funny looks for this all the time. Anyway, the flowers were perfect for her, and she radiated with beauty.
This next one was captured when I told her to look over at her mom… they both couldn’t stop giggling. It was so cute. I love the essence of candid laughter.

And here’s that elegant grace again:

After our beautiful lavendar set, we headed out to Lake Perris and some other pretty spots along Ramona Expressway. I didn’t realize how gorgeous Lake Perris State Park is – doesn’t really seem to be a hot tourist (or local) spot recently, but it really is a lovely place. Just right for Jessica.


Thanks so much for choosing me to create your Senior Portraits with you, Jessica. I can’t wait to show you the rest! I’ll be in touch!
