Lately my favorite place and where I feel at most at peace is in the mountains and forest. Every couple years it shifts for me and thats what it has been for 2020 so far. (For those wondering 2016 was the ocean, 2017- 2019 was the desert). So when Melissa and Chris wanted to do their branding couple pictures in some of my favorite places I got super excited. We had ate burritos, explored downtown Occidental and danced in the forest. Plus, we ate ice cream and who does not love Screamin’ Mimi’s. I could eat their ice cream any day and everyday. More sessions here please. This Occidental, California couples session was truly one for the books.

It was an honor to shoot Melissa and Chris. I have been friends with Melissa for years and it has been so refreshing to have someone encourage me in my strengths as well as encourage me to grow where I need to. Thank you for making me into a better person, business woman and photographer Melissa. Will be forever grateful for you. In addition, Melissa and Chris are such an amazing photographers. You guys need to check them out as I am constantly in awe of their work.
