Last month during my weekend trip to SLO, I spent an evening with my silly, gorgeous friend Darin. We twirled our way around Avila Beach as the sun set over the horizon.

Glad we got to go out and enjoy a breath of fresh air in this coastal town I have near and dear to my heart. I wasn’t planning on publishing these photos because this shoot wasn’t really thought-out, but I think these easy, breezy portraits capture light-hearted Darin much better than the last time we planned a shoot. Sometimes simple is best.
