This shoot was a concept I had for a senior session that morphed into something even cooler than I ever imagined. I enlisted the help of a very talented makeup artist, a fabulous jewelry stylist, and an awesome girl who was more than happy to play dress up with us. :-) We brainstormed three fun and totally different looks, but in the end, those initial concepts were really just guidelines… The session totally took on a life of its own, and we loved every minute of it.
Everything was shot on location in Rancho Santa Fe and La Jolla – with three outfits, three full makeup changes, and two photographers capturing all the magic in between. We laughed and played fashion shoot, and the photos are a perfect blend of personality and art. I loved loved loved this session, and can’t wait to see who’s ready to play next!
The first look was inspired by Taylor Swift, although Kelsey absolutely made it her own.
Makeup by Eileen Haligowski, Jewelry styled by Emily Smiley for Stella & Dot.




This was too fun not to share. We had a good time finding a natural “play with your hair” pose. ;-)

And we found it. :-)


Our second look was planned as kind of a Jackie O/big city girl, but the red lips took us straight to Paris!

You know you want this necklace. ;-)

In this one, it’s all Bond Girl. ;-)


Same dress, but different jewelry, and quick change of hair = surprise look 2.5!

Our final look was planned as “beach shimmer”, but La Jolla decided there wouldn’t be any sun for us.
That’s okay because the stormy skies (plus Kelsey’s awesome hair!) said “Beach Goddess” instead.


If beautiful women rose out of the sand, this is what they would look like! :-)


I’m ready for more! Call or email me for info on scheduling your senior session. ~Pam xo
