How do I get so lucky to have such beautiful girls in front of my camera? Hannah came to me because she was looking for something natural and organic, and in this case, bohemian (yay!). She is smart, kind and beautiful — the perfect trio.

Hannah’s super-sweet boyfriend joined in, too.

I just love the way the light is falling down through the trees like feathers on a breeze…

Hannah came to the session with some ideas of her own (which I love) and this was one of them (below). I think it turned out perfectly with her soft white dress and pink tulips.

I don’t know what this flower is called, but it just makes the dreamiest pictures, all soft and blurry in the background.

And because you know I love to end a shoot (and a post) with silliness, I thought I’d include these fun ones for you all.

Congratulations, Hannah! Good luck at Santa Clara University!
