You’d never guess it was 58 degrees and breezy during Olivia’s senior session at The Mission Club. And I know what you're thinking... that’s not that cold. But here on the Central Coast, it is. Especially after a few days of rain. It was definitely chilly.

Thankfully, the sun showed up just in time and gave us the kind of golden light photographers dream about. Warm, glowy, and full of flare. Olivia wore a dress that said summer, even though the weather wasn’t exactly cooperating, and she made it look easy.

One of my favorite things about senior sessions is getting to know each teen as we walk and talk. Olivia was calm, thoughtful, and every once in a while, she’d toss in a little sass or goofiness that made me laugh. That mix of personality always makes the best kind of photos.

Congrats, Olivia. You crushed it.

Thank you, Olivia, for trusting me to capture this special time.
