I did a mini-photoshoot with one of my dearest models. She has the most beautiful eyes and hair, and so we decided to take a spin down to Crystal Cove and see what we could do! Absolute magic.
Here's a few things that went down!

 There was not a lot of people there, surprisingly! Perhaps it was because we went on a Sunday, but it was in the afternoon, so I thought it there would be a crowd.
 The good part about Crystal Cove is the hiking trails. They're very light and overlook spectacular views. Words can't even serve it justice. The waters were sparkling and blue, the air smelled like salt and not smoky smog...basically, it was everything that you see on TV shows. Perfection.
 There was a long way down to the beach on some very steep stairs, but it adds a bit to the exclusive feel that this beach has. There are some reefs and tide pools, which I absolutely loved. Tide pools are my favorite place to explore because it was a frequent childhood spot whenever I visited Monterey Bay.

 The shoot went well because of the spectacular location and this beautiful lady! She's an absolute natural and she's just the friendliest person.

Naturally, after the shoot, I had some fun with the trees...I couldn't resist.
Honestly, I couldn't.

Unfortunately, my attempt to become one with nature didn't go as planned...

All in all, it was a spectacular shoot! Expect an update on my portfolio site in the next week or so!
