I’m so excited to share Kristy’s senior session with you guys!!  We shot these a while ago here in Santa Clarita at one of my favorite locations.  It’s a little off the beaten path but really nice because it’s always green, even when nothing else in this valley is 🙂

We started out pretty simple because I love the color of this sweater on Kristy – it complements her so well and even though it wasn’t really cold when we shot this, we wanted to have a wintery option for one of her outfits.  Kristy is on my 2020 Influencer Team, so I have been able to shoot with her a few times over the last few months. 

Jami did such a great job on her makeup, as usual – love how she keeps teens looking like teens.  I’m all about makeup but it should complement you – not hide you.

One of the best parts of this location is that it can look like a few different spots, but it’s all in one location (literally off the side of the road lol).  And it has amazing light – as you can see 🙂

When I’m looking for a good location, I want to be able to have variety but I also like various textures and colors if possible.  This spot has all of this and more … and Kristy looks amazing in all her outfits!  Literally she can wear anything and look good in it!

One of the cool things about this spot is that there’s a small waterfall there but omg the water is COLD – no matter what time of year lol!  Kristy was a trooper because the water was a lot higher than it had been – so we got nice and wet!

I think it was worth it though 🙂 

When I know we are going to shoot in water, I always suggest we do a dress …. a short one is easier obviously, but sometimes a long one where it gets wet can be nice – all depends on how my client envisions it.  

I also used my Profot A1X for these because I wanted to give them more of a pop; I had Jami hold the light because she was up on the rocks to my right.  I can’t say enough good things about this light .. it’s small and super powerful and the only light I carry with me.
