Sweet 16

I was contacted to do a sweet 16 for Kelsie (who is Miss Teen Santa Clarita Valley!) with Alaina and was told to "do anything fun and creative!" I wanted to do something different that I hadn't yet done, but needed to keep it appropriate for a "birthday theme." And it came to me...DUH, BALLOONS! :) I love the color they bring into the picture with the vast fields of wheat as contrast... just beautiful. Alaina did a great job with hair/makeup/styling as usual and I just had so much fun with this shoot. The location was absolutely PERFECT. It is definitely one of my favorites so far... As always, it was a struggle to pick just a few, but I'm keeping some a surprise for her birthday so I don't ruin the cool idea they have going for these pictures! :) Enjoy!
