Senior Model

I hadn't seen this young lady since she was 6 years old so when her mother called to schedule a graduation session I was excited. Boy, was I surprised though when we met at the location selected. She had grown up into an absolutely gorgeous young woman. To say she was highly photogenic was certainly a good description.

Black is Beautiful

As I get to know my new town of Santa Maria, I looked for help working with dark-complexions and found this family in need of some great images. What a match made in heaven. We met at my new favorite sunset location, Jim May Park. (A secret of a location indeed. Even the locals don't know where it is.)

Michelle and her lovely met me there at sunset and the weather was perfect. I think I wore them out trying every different angle I could manage. I forgot to tell them we might we walking a lot, like around the whole lake. But I think the images were definitely worth the effort.
