It's insane right now, but come January, I'll be DYING to shoot anything but holiday photos...namely, Seniors.  If you happen to be a gorgeous Senior (or know someone who is), please shoot me an e-mail (or, preferably, a photo.)  You can send it to Kristen@essentialimagery.com.  There are goodies galore in store for 2 (maybe even 3) models...

 Oh, and California...did I mention I was in California?  Yet another photo...

That's the longest pier on the West Coast, located in Oceanside.  And that funky, funky, the-light-is-making-crazy-shapes thing is called flare.  It's not an accident (it's actually kinda tricky to do), and when it's just right, it's *sensational.*
