Sometimes I feel ridiculous when I have to recommend a time so early + unheard of to a client. But also sometimes they don’t bat an eye and they’re all on board. That was Kaliyah when I told her just exactly how early in the morning we’d have to meet in order to take advantage of the best light. Immediately upon meeting her I was grateful that our paths crossed. I’m not always a morning person but this session with her made it all worth it. It’s a funny thing meeting someone that has grown up in the same place as you but the few years between our ages kept us from ever really meeting until this day. I’m lucky to connect with such beautiful humans - thank you Kaliyah for picking me to document such an amazing achievement!
