How is it that all of these 17/18 year olds who are graduating look WAYYYYY better than we ever did at their age? We were joking with our grad how our graduation photos consisted of random objects, bright playground areas, and some interesting outfit choices back in our day. But these days - they look like MODELS! It’s just not fair! Did any of them go through an awkward phase? (We’re STILL in ours…just kidding…but seriously…)

We’ve known this grad since she was a baby as we’ve been a part of her family’s life for MANY years. We were yet again capturing a grad session during the last of the orchard blooms and it totally gave off Sleeping Beauty whimsical vibes! She has a fun style and we loved her glasses frames!

We kicked things off with a casual outfit in the tall green grass at with pops of purple and yellow flowers. Then came an outfit change to a gorgeous white, simple but beautiful dress that complimented the location, adding to its natural, graceful, carefree princess vibes. Our grad has stunning long curly hair, so we made sure to get some hair flip photos and spinning poses that added to the magical feel.

Heritage Orchard at the Saratoga Library in the Bay Area is a go-to location for most of our grad sessions, because of the gorgeous blooms and secluded atmosphere! Our grads can be carefree and adventurous, and we absolutely LOVE it!
