Jessica is a friend from church: I had asked her toward the end of 2022 is she would be interested in collaborating in a Trade For Prints (TFP) photo shoot. Her reaction was quite enthusiastic.
Since Jessica works full-time and is doing post graduate studies we had to arrange a time for the shoot as to not interfere with her studies. After few rounds of calendar tag, we settled for early spring. We were blessed that the weather turned out to be good that afternoon.
The location we picked was Noguchi Garden at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa. The location is quite and serene, but is quite popular for photographers, especially wedding because it’s an ideal venue for engagement photos.
Jessica selected her own wardrobe and handled her make up. All-in-all she did a great job with her posing, expressions and energy.
