Glam Palm Springs Mid Century Modern Engagement with Thunderbird

Jan 19, 2024

“Don’t be nervous” Kelsey said to Tom as we began their Mid Century Modern engagement session in Palm Springs. Reaching for his hand, he looked into Kelsey’s eyes and began to laugh, “I’ll try not to look awkward” Tom replied. 
Kelsey wanted to capture the vintage essence of Palm Springs as she had a beautiful sparkly vintage dress.

“I want us to juxtapose our glam looks with the desert backdrops” she said. 

With a vintage Thunderbird car, sunglasses, and wandering the neighborhood side streets with mountains and palm trees in the background.
Kelsey had a second outfit that she called her “girl boss suit”. I couldn’t agree more. With a matching white suit set, feathers, and vintage sunglasses. I definitely would say she looked like a Mid Century Modern girl.

It was a warm and sunny day that quickly became full of laughs, kissing, and Tom replying, “This is not as hard as I thought it was going to be”. 

An engagement session is suppose to be fun! With a photographer you feel comfortable with and who can walk you through, step-by-step on natural prompts that lead to candid photos. With over ten plus years of experience as a lifestyle and wedding photographer, I have seen it all! I help with location, outfit, and timeline curation. All you have to do is show up and I’ll take care of the rest! 

But don’t just take my word for it, see what Tom and Kelsey had to say for themselves about their experience with me. 

“They turned out fantastic and exactly what we hoped for. Palm Springs glamour! We’re awaiting some big prints to be framed and hung on the walls. I think Tom thinks he’s a GQ model now! hehe! They’re pictures I can’t wait to show my future kids and grandkids.” – Kelsey & Tom
