Southern California in the summer seriously steals my heart. I love that it's just an hour long flight away from San Francisco and it's stunningly beautiful. The beaches are stunning, the weather is warm, the food is so good, there are tons of activities to do & some of my best friends in the world live there.

When I was in Orange County visiting my friends Sammie and Sheila, my great friend and photographer Shannon Righetti was there as well. I told my friends we had to do a shoot with Shannon, no questions. They've seen Shannon's work on my blog and immediately accepted.

We got so excited to do a friends shoot. I've known these girls since my freshman year of college and they are some of the best friends a girl could have. Why not document our friendship while we have the time!

I think doing a photoshoot with your friends, family, significant other or even by yourself is totally worth the money. Paying someone who is a professional to capture special moments, in my opinion, is SO worth it?

Feel free to reach out to Shannon to book your shoot, I'll let the photos do the rest of the talkin'.
