Worth the Early Alarm: Calleigh’s Riverside Shoot


Okay, let me just start by saying… mornings and I aren’t always best friends. But for Calleigh? Totally worth setting my alarm for an early Riverside Farm session in Kodak. The morning light was chef’s kiss perfection, and honestly, the calmness of that hour just matched her sweet, soft-spoken vibe perfectly.


Calleigh is one of my influencer girls for the Class of 2026 — and well, I hope by now that she knows how my brain works when I get a “vision” in my head. And this morning? I was adamant… we are getting that boat in the pictures. No questions. No negotiations. That boat was going to happen.


And let me tell you, she executed every shot like she’d been practicing for this moment her whole life. She’s got the longest, most gorgeous brown hair that just flowed in the breeze, and every move she made was effortless.


Meanwhile, I’m over on the side of the river, climbing around like I’m auditioning for some survival reality show, almost falling in (okay, not really… but you know I’m dramatic). Anything for the shot, right?


In the end, I didn’t regret a single second of that early wake-up call. The light, the location, and Calleigh’s sweetness made this session pure magic.
