Pasea Hotel Event Photographer – Lost & Found, The Film Archives of Greg Noll

We recently had an amazing opportunity land in our email! The Jolly family asked us to photograph the first screening of the movie, Lost & Found – The Film Archives of Greg Noll. Over the ledge productions put on a superb event at the Pasea Hotel in Huntington Beach.

Some incredible legends in the surf community were there to eat, drink, and watch some historic vintage surf film with the man himself! Greg Noll and his family were there in the front row to watch the film for the first time.

About the film

Greg “Da Bull” Noll, a pioneering giant who led an incredible age of surf exploration, rode the biggest waves of the era and then virtually disappeared. When Greg left the surf world, he took with him thousands of feet of 16mm film. Discover where the infamous big-wave icon went when he left Hawaii, and what happened to his mysterious film archive.“Lost and Found” offers a unique window into one of surfing’s great characters, and a peek at the 16mm magic he captured so many years ago. “Lost and Found, The Film Archive of Greg Noll” is an epic ride!

You’ve booked your senior session. You’re excited. And then… the panic sets in. What do I wear?

I always recommend:

One casual or flowy look - a dress, a relaxed outfit, something you feel easy and comfortable in
One slightly elevated look - still natural, but a little more styled

That gives us variety without making the session feel rushed or stressful. More outfits don’t equal better photos. Two intentional choices are always more than enough.

Absolutely… and honestly, I love when they do.

Some of the sweetest moments happen before the cake even comes out, when siblings are laughing, helping, (or trying to sneak a bite early 😅).

It turns a birthday session into something even more meaningful… capturing their relationship right now, not just the milestone.

And those are the photos parents end up loving the most 🤍 shout out for a throwback to this session 💕

The secret to an stress-free session?
Choosing the right location.

This family had a party right after, so we kept everything simple and close. No extra driving, no rushing… just time together.

And it made all the difference.

If you’re planning family photos, I’ll help you choose a location that actually works for your day.

Send me a message and let’s plan it.

Three things every parent should know before sending their child on a mission.

First… this season is full of lasts.
But it’s also the beginning of a whole new life of firsts for them.

Second… saying goodbye at the airport is hard.
You prepare for it, you know it’s the right thing… but you still miss them more than you expect.
And suddenly, everything reminds you of them.

And third… P-days become the day you look forward to the most.
That one day a week when you get to hear their voice, read their messages, and feel connected again.

• Save this if you’re in this season 🤍
OR
• Send this to a parent preparing for a mission

It’s a big transition… for them and for you. #missionarymom #missionary #ldsmission

Turn your body slightly instead of facing the camera straight on.

Shift your weight to one leg, relax your shoulders, and bring your heads a little closer together.

Small adjustments like this make your photos feel more natural immediately.
