I shot Annie while in Laguna for some Mother’s Day festivities. Walking around Laguna was so much fun because almost anything could become a gorgeous background!

We shot in the afternoon when the sun was high but we still found places in the shade for posing. I love the photos of Annie in front of the hotel for their California cool vibe they’re giving off.

It took us quite a few takes before we got the grass pose just right. I happen to love the outtake just as much as the polished version! 🕚📸

We got a lot done in a short amount of time!

Photoshoot stats: 1 hour photoshoot, 4 outfit changes, 492 images shot, 215 edited images, and 1 stunning leg kick in front of the Venetian!

Rylee is a dancer so it was important to get a few action shots of her in her dance outfits. We started out about an hour before the sun went down. As each minute passed, the lighting got better and better. We started shooting the dancing action shots around the time the exterior lights of the Venetian snapped on. What an incredible background! The blue light from dusk provided a lovely contrast to the vibrant white dress Rylee was wearing. This is one of my favorite shots!

Congrats on your upcoming graduation, Rylee!​

Shari celebrated her birthday in Vegas and treated herself to a photo shoot with Morgan and Brittany. We got the party started with some sparkling wine, which helped loosen up inhibitions! The posing was on point and we got some awesomely authentic photos!

I love shooting outside at the Venetian because of the variety of backdrops the location provides. In some areas it really looks like you’re shooting in Europe!
