Graduation || Maya

Maya and I hadn't met before taking these photos, but I know you won't believe it after seeing how comfortable she looks in front of the camera. Maya's gorgeous outfit and jewelry sparkles in the golden hour sun and made these law school graduation portraits more than just a cap and gown.

Engagement || Maya & Jason

Another engagement session with one of my favorites! This is now my third session with Maya; we previously shot photos for the Womxn of Color Collective Portrait Project and her law school graduation. It was such a treat to feel the love the between these two. The only one who loves Maya more than Jason, is the camera!

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I get it. Maya’s a model. Look at the angles, look at the face, look at the limb control. Truly an honor to capture these!

Okay so Maya is one of my top 10 best posers of all time! I would tell her, “can you move you arm like this?” and she would do what I imagined but better. I mean, look at the perfectly pointed toes in the last photos!

But, yeah, golden hour, backlighting, nature, YES.
