When it was time to shoot Annemarie and Rodney’s engagement session, I was so glad to see that they were so comfortable in front of the camera. Made soooo easy on me :) They were so natural with each other that I was glad to be there just to capture everything. They will be getting married this coming September down in San Diego. Thanks you guys for being such great models! See you soon!

Another cool engagement portrait session! This time with Ira and Jerome in a more urban setting, which always makes me happy…can’t get enough urban! They are getting married down by the water in Laguna so this will be a great contrast to their wedding photos. Just a quick stroll around a few blocks and we came back with a ton of great shots…color and texture everywhere! It was a bit hot out but thank goodness for big buildings and the shadows they cast! The light was fantastic, so it made up for the heat. Enjoy some faves:

I’m getting to be a Disneyland regular! Yep, I joined Elaine and Brian at Disneyland and California Adventure for their engagement session and this trip did it! We are getting season passes so we can take the kids whenever we wanted. We’re so close that it’s a pretty good value and I found some cool spots that I think Lucas would love! Anyway, Elaine and Brian were a treat to be around…so easy going and up for anything. We had fun hunting down spots to shoot and they gave me the grand tour of CA adventure. Quite different from Disneyland but still fun in it’s own right. This was my first time there, so I can’t wait to take the fam. They are getting married in a few weeks! And by the sound of it, it’s gonna be quite the party! Here’s some goodies:

What a great engagement session with Shanel and Jeremy! They wanted a natural, outdoorsy look to their portraits and since I just love that type of scenery, I was so excited. People don’t usually associate this type of scenery with Southern California, but I assure you it’s there! You just have to find it :) I cannot wait until their wedding this coming summer at Park Prive in Costa Mesa. It’s gonna be an amazing event! Thanks Shanel and Jeremy for putting up with the shrubs, twigs and the bugs!

I’m one of those local OC peeps who don’t really go to Disneyland too often. I live about 15 minutes away and it just doesn’t register to me that the “Happiest Place on Earth” is so close by. So, when Audrey and Garrett wanted to have their engagement session at Disneyland, I was pretty pumped. I expected it to be so much fun…and it was! They are such big Disney fans and visit quite often so I was so happy to share the special day with them. They dropped so much Disney knowledge on me, it made me want to take the boys the next day. Now, we’re thinking of getting season passes! :) Thanks you guys for taking me around and a special thanks to Audrey for being so brave and going on the Teacups! It was her first time ever on my favorite ride!
