Jordi and Sean were ready to go for their engagement portraits! They were up for anything and we got some great stuff in some cool places. I’ve always wanted to shoot at a library and I knew it would be pretty cool in there! Their wedding is just around the corner in January and it should be a great one. Check out some highlights!

So happy to shoot Cristina and Jeff’s engagement portraits! Jeff was the best man at one of our weddings last year and now it’s his turn! Cristina and Jeff both live in Spain and I was so happy that they were able to come to SoCal this summer. Here are some quick favs:

We are often lucky to find a cool new venue but on this lucky day, we found two! Heather got ready at the Montecito Farm House, a little bed and breakfast near Santa Barbara. It’s such a lovely place that I want to stay there…yesterday!! It really was a wonderful place to shoot and I could’ve shot there all day. Next up was the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, where Heather and Jerry had their ceremony and reception. I have a fondness for cool, natural settings, so I was in love at first sight! Such a gorgeous backdrop for a wedding. The day went off without a hitch thanks to the team at Exquisite Event Planning & Design. Thanks girls! And congrats to Heather and Jerry!

Here are some highlights:

I had a great time hanging out with the Kim family along with their two little ones. The kids did a great job posing for me and of course loved just playing around. I love that last shot of the kids…my favorite! They are expecting the 3rd addition to their family and he/she should be arriving any day now! Yes, the sex of the new little one is a surprise…so much fun!

Portrait sessions taken at home are always special. It’s great to shoot in a place where everyone is so comfortable and the pics just come out so naturally. Here are a few of the Vandygriff family who are expecting their new little one really soon! Enjoy:
