archives: jordan // bixby knolls senior session

during 2013, i learned so much about post-processing, so sometimes it's fun to dig through the archives and work on old shoots. this senior session from last march was one of my favorites, and it was so fun to revisit. oh and hey, it's time to start thinking about those senior photos (high school or college), so let's connect! =) 

sweet family: the proctor family // long beach family session

prepare yourself for tons of love and balls of fun. that's exactly what this shoot was all about, and these photos will prove it! 

the great thing about the proctor men, is that they are all seriously this sweet, and they aren't shy about loving their ladies. that kind of delight between a couple is one of my favorite things to capture, and these guys did not disappoint. 

dear proctor family, you were an absolute JOY to work with - thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart!
