Jackie & Sebastian // San Juan Capistrano Engagement Session

When I first met Jackie & Sebastian I knew they were going to be epic people. These two are so madly in love and constantly glowing with joy for each other, like the kind of love you see in the movies and wonder, does that really exist? Yep. They laughed a lot during our session and twirled under the sunlight, kissed & held each other . Pretty much made my job super easy. Don’t even get me started on their outfits. I loved how true they stayed true to who they are by incorporating so much of their own style into our session.

Jackie and I chatted about locations and we loved the idea of hanging out under the trees in the mustard fields for the first half of our session and then maybe grabbing some coffee & relaxing in the cute coffee shops for the second half of our session (We did this at SOCO, Costa Mesa). If you haven’t been here yet, you should go! This spot has a killer Farmers Market, amazing little vendors , great coffee shops & super yummy trending restaurants! It has a rustic modern vibe with super neat architecture surrounding you which is pretty much heaven for any photographer! Ok, I got a bit off track here ... This session was honestly SO much fun with these two rad people and I can’t wait to capture their wedding in April!

Susan Conti | OC Mix Portrait Session

Orange County Headshots

One of my favorite places to do Portrait Sessions is at SOCO Collection in Costa Mesa, CA. This spot is one of my favorites . It has so many cute little locally owned shops, gorgeous architecture surrounded by tons of gorgeous greenery. I honestly LOVE this spot because of the diversity in backgrounds it gives . Many people don’t know this about me , but I am a sucker for architecture. I observe the architecture, the lines of buildings & aesthetic vibe everywhere I go. This spot is so darn unique you guys! Susan contacted me hoping to capture not just the standard corporate looking headshot but asking specifically for some natural portraits that really captures her in her element. I knew this spot would give us just that! We all have so many sides to us and so many aspects of our lives should be incorporated in the session to truly capture us as a whole. You may work a corporate job but still be a very silly endearing person; my goal is to capture all these different sides of you to really showcase who you are . Susan is a Life Coach also currently working in a senior living home. I wanted to bring out her nurturing friendly personality as well as her business savvy side when photographing her. She has so many incredibly inspiring talents and interests, and it was important for me to get to know her to really bring out these different aspects of who she is.
