Oceanside Pier

 This is a long awaited blog for me! I got contacted by Niki about doing a shoot for her birthday. Niki has a serious love for photography, so I was really honored to do her photos for her. I know that they were long awaited and that she was so excited!

We met below the pier and got started. Let me tell you, this girl knows how to pose! Niki, I hope you had a wonderful birthday (a little belated ;) ) and I look forward to seeing your own photography grow!

 

Here they are, the long awaited pageant photos! I had never been to a Pageant before, and was taken aback by the grace, community, and friendship that was flowing from each of these girls. What a great cause. I really enjoyed spending time and working with all of you.

There were two pageants for different age groups; the Teen and the Miss, and then we rushed over next door and squeezed (and by squeeze, I mean it to the full extent!) into a little room/hallway/chair storage area for some group and family shots. Fitting lights, backdrops, and 6+ people and making it look great was quite a feat, but with it came a lot of confidence of what can be done.

The full pageants can be viewed and purchased here; Miss Teen, Miss Fallbrook




This was one of my favorite moments.  Meet the 1st Miss Fallbrook, Miss 1937. She never received a crown or sash, so they honored her on the second night, with one to call her own and then the barbershop quartet sang to her. Such a sweet and honoring moment.






Congrats, girls!
