Ayaka | Portraits

I first met Ayaka at a house show where her and Harper performed. Her voice and musical presence are absolutely beautiful and full of grace, which makes sense, because so is she! We walked around The International Rose Test Garden and took photos amongst all the amazing flowers, some happened to even be taller than her, which made me and my camera pretty excited! ;) Then we decided to go explore Washington Park and Hoyt Arboretum for the last half of the shoot. When we walk passed an amazing moss covered tree, I had to stop and take some photos of her in the midst of it. I realize that sounds silly to people who are from Portland, or from anywhere that has moss, haha. But we don’t have moss in Phoenix, so I LOVE it!! :)
