Hi Friend! I hope this finds you well & that you are enjoying this new year so far!

It’s time for my annual “Best of” blog post where I post my favs from the previous year.

Categories this year range from Lifestyle sessions, Women’s Headshots and Personal Branding Sessions, Kid’s sessions, Pets, Romantic Couples, Family Sessions, Maternity, High School Seniors, and Tweens!

Locations range from Oahu, HI to San Diego towns like Carlsbad, San Marcos, & Leucadia/ Encinitas, to my old stomping grounds in Ojai, CA, to the charming Northern California coastal town of Pacifica!

A couple of new things that stood out for me this year: More people included their precious pets– Yay! And I also got to include dating profile photos (not pictured) for some of my clients that we tacked on to their family sessions, which was really fun! I told my clients to envision the type of partner they wanted to attract- the qualities, etc. Then we also talked about the energy/ vibe they wanted to convey as well! Fun new stuff!

This year was another transition year for our family (and hopefully the last in a long time!) as we moved back to Southern California from Northern California. Life was pretty hectic for a lot of the year, but we are feeling much more settled now! Whew!

Ok, enough about me, let’s dive into my fav’s of 2019!

I can’t wait to hear what your fav is!

Thanks so much for joining me here and looking back on 2019!

And that’s a wrap 2019! (Pun intended after seeing the image above, Heehee!)

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read this post, look at my fav’s from 2019, and simply being here! Where ever you are, I wish you all the best! Here’s to another great year, friend!

And as always, please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions about my photo sessions or creative mentoring/ coaching!

Hugs! xo Shell
