There is nothing better than the great outdoors! Except a killer senior session in the great outdoors! Smith Rock is one of my favorite locations to visit and shoot at. It has one of the most incredible views within driving distance of my home. It’s about 3 hours away and luckily this time we didn’t get stuck in the snow on the way over! We had gorgeously warm sunshine and clear skies. For being January it was warm. I even took my jacket off during a portion of the session!

How We Met

Hailey Mae is such a sweetheart!! I met her for the first time this day right before her session, though I’ve known her mom, Taryn, for a few years now. Taryn would hire me to take property photos for her as she’s a real estate agent in the area. So when it came time for her daughter to have her senior session done I was so honored that she thought of me! And what a JOY Hailey is! She’s so fun and easy going. She loves horses and being outside. I love her spirit and fire for life and I just know she’s going to do amazing things in her future! Congratulations, Hailey! You’re going places girl! Thank you so much for letting me capture this once in a lifetime moment in your life!
