About my love of the forest and the magic of the Redwoods...
The magic of the Redwoods is something timeless. It speaks of things in this world that have seen more time than we ever will. The canopy of giant majestic whispering branches provides a peace and stillness. You can just take in deep breaths and feel the peace within.
I am Aly and I offer 10 years of experienced shooting in the Redwoods under my main brand Hazel Eye Photography. I have photographed hundreds of sessions in this region, and on the coastline here. At times in high season I am here several sessions a week. If you come to me I offer great regional knowledge. My editing maintains peoples skin tones while still capturing the beautiful light and green forest backdrop. I love to go back into my images and paint light or accentuate it ,but in a natural way. This is a passion of mine as I have a background in art ~ specifically years of watercolor in college.
The Redwood Forest provides protection year round. Even on rainy days it does not rain as hard within and on sunny days it is never too bright. Weddings and elopements are so romantic set among the ancient groves. Portraits for families, engagements, maternity or senior/individual have such depth to them with the wooded areas and greens. The forest lighting can at times be tricky especially on dark days . However after many sessions for years within the forest I shoot here with knowledge and experience. I am based/located at the Northern California/Oregon border just outside the forest on the Redwoods Highway 199. It allows me the freedom to venture in at any time and be inspired and create magic with you all.
