Alright, someone explain to me when these softball kids decided to grow up. No, really. Because I swear it was just yesterday they were out on the field, helmets two sizes too big, looking like tiny bobbleheads running the bases. And now? Now they’re full-fledged adults, graduating, driving, and making me feel real old.
So when Teagan reached out and said she wanted me to take her senior photos, I was pumped. And not just “oh, that’s cool” pumped—full-on I just found a forgotten $20 in my jeans level excited. There’s something special about seeing a name from the past pop up, and let me tell you, Teagan’s session did not disappoint.
First off, this girl? Effortlessly cool. No pretense, no over-the-top energy—just a quiet confidence that makes her completely magnetic. She’s got this understated beauty, the kind that doesn’t need a spotlight to be noticed. And her eyes? Absolutely striking. You know those people who can say a thousand words with just a glance? That’s Teagan. Whether she was giving me a full-on laugh or one of those subtle, thoughtful looks, the camera loved her.
We shot at the Santa Ynez Botanical Garden, which, of course, was showing off that day—perfect golden light filtering through the trees, just the right amount of greenery. Total fairy-tale vibes. And Teagan? She owned it. She didn’t need to try—she just was. Some people get in front of the camera and overthink it, but not this girl. She was relaxed, real, and completely herself.
And honestly? I probably laughed more than she did. Hanging out with her felt like talking to my own teenager—same humor, same delivery, same ability to keep me on my toes. When the photographer is having this much fun, you know the session was a win.
Teagan, you’re the real deal—smart, funny, and as kind as they come. Don’t ever change, kid. The world could use more people like you. Congrats, Teagan! Now go out there and knock ‘em dead.
