Giana is full of so much natural beauty and I absolutely ADORE it! I was excited to get to work with such a stunning lady and her horse, Cooper! Giana loves the indie look of Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters so I tried to channel some of their photography style into her shoot.
Giana will be graduating from Laguna Hills High School in May and hopes to pursue a film degree at Chapman University! Congrats, Giana!!!
Leave some love for her below!

*Gasp* That’s what I thought when Tanya came around the corner with her parents yesterday. I’m sure you can see why. Tanya is absolutely stunning! And she’s so sweet to go with it.
We started our shoot in Old Towne Orange, shot for a bit, grabbed a vintage soda, headed to Newport Beach for more pictures, and flew kites! I had an extremely hard time picking a few photos for this blog post so, this post is extra long!
What do you think of the photos?
