Jessica ~ Palm Desert High School Photographer

January 19, 2012

A few weeks ago I met up with my cousin, Jessica, in Old Town La Quinta for some creative fun. Jessica rocked it. Even while holding a pose on her toes! 🙂 Old Town La Quinta is one of my favorite locations. Stairs, archways, large windows, amazing doors, and bougainvillea, to name a few of my favorite things about it. Match that with great light and a super fun teen and you get amazing images. Jessica and I had a blast. My aunt even managed to capture a photo of me in one of my crazy positions I tend to get myself into when I HAVE to get the shot. 🙂

Thank you Jess for a fun time! You are always a blast to photograph!

Ann

ABOUT Ann

My path here wasn't exactly straight, and I think that's what makes it worth telling.

I wasn't supposed to be a photographer. I was supposed to become a doctor. Neurobiology premed, on track, until my oldest son was diagnosed with epilepsy and life took a hard U-turn. I took a break and enrolled in photography classes I had always wanted to take but never could as a premed. On day two I knew. This was where I was supposed to be. Funny thing is, that analytical, detail-oriented part of me never left. It just shows up differently now, in the way I plan every session, read the light, and pay attention to the moments most people miss. I finished my degree in a year and a half, started my business the following October, and sixteen years later I still believe this is the gift God gave me to give to others. And I don't take that lightly.
