How do you elevate a cake smash session?
It starts with the outfit.
This little girl came in with the most adorable pastel circus themed outfits. One for portraits, one for the smash. And honestly? It took the entire gallery to another level.
I provide the theme and backdrop. You bring the outfits to match. When those two things come together, the photos go from cute to wow.
That’s it. That’s the secret. 🎪🩷

3 things I wish every senior knew before their session.
Because most people show up thinking…
“I don’t know how to pose.”
“What should I wear?”
“What if I feel awkward?”
Here’s what I want you to know:
You don’t need to come prepared with poses.
You don’t need a suitcase full of outfits.
You don’t need to feel 100% confident walking in.
Here’s what I’m actually doing during your session:
I guide you through everything, help you choose outfits that work, and keep things moving so you’re not stuck overthinking.
That’s why it ends up feeling easy.
And that’s why the photos actually look like you.
Which one surprised you the most? 👇
Top locations in California for a senior session.
And each one gives you a completely different look.
Corona del Mar
Cliffs, texture, and a little more depth.
If you want variety in one spot, this is it.
Newport Beach Pier
Clean, coastal, classic.
Light, movement, and that beach feel that never goes out of style.
Back Bay
Soft, natural, and more relaxed.
Open space, greenery, and warm light.
Here’s how I help you choose:
We don’t just pick what looks pretty. We match the location to your outfits, your personality, and the overall feel you want your photos to have.
Because location changes everything.
Save this for when you’re planning your senior photos 👇
