Today we’re celebrating one of my original ambassadors — Vivi (@balletvivi). She’s been in front of my camera longer than almost anyone, and her dedication, artistry, and willingness to try absolutely anything have shaped so many of my favorite creative sessions.

From outdoor adventures to low light, high key, holiday themes, powder, rain, sunflowers, and Valentine portraits — Vivi always shows up ready to create, ready to explore, and ready to push herself as an artist. Watching her grow year after year has been a privilege.

Happy Birthday, Vivi! Here’s to another year of creativity, passion, and unforgettable moments together.
