Flow In Her Hair

Ariel Mott Hair Artist – Delray Beach, FL

This shoot was an absolute dream come true!

I couldn’t have envisioned a more perfect session. When I first met Ariel, she was my hair stylist, and her unique style immediately impressed me. I knew I had to collaborate with her for a shoot!

When Ariel shared her vision board, I was completely captivated. She told me her backyard led to a charming pathway to the beach, with a little field beside it, and it felt like stepping onto a beautiful island I’d always dreamed of visiting. This lovely spot was her home, and I understood why. With her simple outfit, bare feet, and free-spirited vibe, we were walking into a dream that exceeded all my expectations.

Ariel’s kind, sweet, and brave spirit, combined with her natural beauty, added a special touch to the shoot. Many moments unfolded organically, and we captured them at our favorite time of day—sunrise! The soft glow and mood were absolutely worth it. Everything about this shoot reaffirms why I love what I do. Plus, Ariel is an exceptional hair stylist and makeup artist, making this experience even more special!

When we did the water shots her dress was bubbling up so we tied it to the side to make it push down more flat and it was a cool little trick we did. I suggest sunrise and sun set shoots because the lighting is easier to manage its much more even and you can control the lighting how you want it!

Stories

Some sessions stay with me long after I’ve packed up my camera.

Not because of how they looked — but because of how quietly someone began to soften into themselves without realizing it.

Those are the moments I return to when I think about why I do this work at all.

Not to create perfect images, but to notice what is already true.

Stories, seen honestly

I take on a limited number of sessions each month to keep each experience intentional, present, and considered.
