I love stories within stories! I must have chosen the hottest day to shoot my San Diego fall mini session. This little one was ready to let her hair down mid-session and quickly pulled out her ponytail and reached into her mother’s purse for a brush. She was glowing with this simple act of exercising her own autonomy and this act allowed for a perfect moment to capture her fun personality. I love capturing the smaller stories that naturally unfold during a shoot.
