Sunrise with Sierra

That’s exactly what it felt like photographing Sierra.

We met at Cocoa Beach before the world was fully awake.  As the sun began to rise, it cast the most beautiful golden light across the water—lighting up Sierra’s face with a glow that matched her spirit. 

Sierra is one of those people whose beauty radiates from the inside out. She’s kind, hardworking, and full of grace. She’s dedicated herself to both her academics and volleyball, putting in long hours and giving her all—and it shows. You can tell she’s the kind of person who brings heart to everything she does.

Sunrise sessions take effort. They mean setting alarms before the sun, getting ready in the dark, and stepping out when the rest of the world is still sleeping. But every time, I’m reminded—it’s always worth it.
