For about two glorious months out of every year there is a field in Orange County that soaks up the winter rains and turns its formerly brown, dead landscape into one of the most beautifully colored places around. Long green grass and yellow flowers everywhere you look, not to mention the oranges that coincide at the same time bringing their extra pop of color to the scene. Add to it all the big hills behind you and I am in a color love, happy photographer place! Totally feel like I flew right out of Orange County and straight to the mountains. The saddest part is that it lasts very short. SO if you are ever wanting to choose this place for your backdrop plan ahead! Somewhere around February through April is usually good but it varies depending on Mother Nature and when she decides to shower us with her wetness. :)
I was so excited when I saw it bloomed just a week before this senior session with the sweetest graduating girl. She had mentioned she wanted to shoot in a meadow type scene and for most of the year in Orange County that can be quite the impossible find. Just fitting the mustard decided to show up just for her though!
This girl found me through Instagram and asked if I do Senior Photos. A quick glance around my portfolio and its pretty clear I don’t post it often. But every once in while, especially around spring time I’ll do a few. And believe me, she made me reeeally want to start doing a LOT more!! It was SO much fun, laughing and posing and playing with the light around her. I would absolutely love to add these into my work load each year!
