Lompoc is famous for its flowers, but what people might not know is that it's also known around here for its relentless winds. On the day of Arisela’s session, Mother Nature didn’t disappoint. The gusts were strong, but Arisela faced them head-on and somehow made them work in her favor.

Some of my favorite shots from this session were the ones where the wind took over a little. It lifted her hair, caught her dress, and added just the right amount of drama. The breeze gave the session a sense of movement that felt spontaneous and real. And of course, having someone as graceful and composed as Arisela in front of the camera didn’t hurt.

She handled the wind like a pro, staying calm and present through it all. Her poise came through in every shot, and her quiet confidence brought a softness to the images that balanced the intensity of the weather.

Congrats, Aris. Your senior session at the beach was beautiful, blustery, and totally you. Thanks for trusting me with it.
