This session with my friend, Torrie Hostman, was incredible! I told her to hop in my car, we will figure it out when we get there, and she totally trusted me! We drove for a bit when we came to what I thought would be a perfect spot. Nevada isn’t very green usually, so I was beyond thrilled to have some green on the mountains after some much needed rain. At first, Torrie wasn’t fully convinced this would be a beautiful spot until I turned the camera around for her to see what the pictures were looking like. She was pretty shocked that such a plain looking location could be so beautiful! And I was just thinking how beautiful my subject was!

I have the best clients. They are always up for anything and they trust me when I see good light. I feel incredibly blessed for that!

I brought Leila, my 5 year old little assistant with me. Torrie was really patient (and mostly laughed at Leila and I working together because it was pretty entertaining). Torrie was completely amazing when at the end of our session, Leila begged to blast “Can’t Stop the Feeling” and dance in the “woods.” Torrie makes everything more fun! She didn’t even laugh at my awkward dance moves!

Torrie was a natural in front of the camera. She has the best smile! She rocked some gorgeous dresses and was absolutely stunning!

Dear Torrie Hostman,

Thank you for being so stalwart and fun! I love laughing and joking around with you! Remember when I saw you walking on your lunch break and I gave the most awkward cat call? Probably can’t forget something like that, haha! You are so beautiful and so easy to be around. I love that you go with the flow. I loved that we didn’t know where we were going for pictures exactly and that you still trusted me! I’m so grateful you don’t hold it against me that I like Coldplay. So glad we can still be friends! In all seriousness, I love you Torr. You radiate goodness and sweetness. When I look at these pictures, my heart fills with gratitude to know you and have you for a friend. You are one marvelous human being! Thank you for trusting me to take your picture!
