How it went

Soberanes Trail sits on cliffs that drop hundreds of feet straight into the Pacific. We worked in the last hour of sun, when the light wraps the rocks and the marine layer thins out at the horizon.

Direction was minimal. A few prompts, a few suggestions for where to look or what to do with hands, then we got out of the way and let it happen. The best photos came from in-between moments.

Big drop, big wind, one small question. That ratio is why cliff proposals hold up.

The shoot
The whole shoot, not just the highlights

Here’s a few highlights from this shoot. Most photographers only ever show a static portfolio of their very best images. I think every potential client should see more than that: the full shoots themselves. Nothing sets expectations like seeing multiple sessions at one location in different weather, times of day, and seasons. We get amazing photos no matter what, and we’re not afraid to show you.
