Karly: Embracing her uniqueness

According to the dictionary, the term unique is defined as having no like or equal; unparalleled; incomparable. So, that is how I view and define Karly, unique in her own manner and style.


For this shoot, we met at D.st. Bar and Grill in Encinitas. When I arrived, Karly was sitting at the bar area having an afternoon cocktail and engaging in a friendly conversation with a stranger that was drawn to her charm, energy, and fun personality. Needless to say, I joined by ordering a Hefeweizen and having a few laughs. It turned out to be a party when Yvonne and Angela arrived and joined the fun, the other two San Diego Photogs whom I enjoy shooting with.

Karly is fun, outgoing, expressive, and very amusing. If you seek for an honest opinion; she will tell you exactly what is on her mind without restraints.

Karly was in the Navy and made the decision to get out after her contract expired to pursue other life opportunities, such as modeling. Recently, she moved from Colorado to California, and has only been living in California for a month. I feel privileged to have been one of the first photographers to take photos of her , since she is a delight to work with and has a bright future ahead of her.

As a final note: She shaved her head for a cause; that is why she currently has short hair.
Here is Karly. Enjoy!
