Erin and Mike's E-Session

Erin and Mike absolutely ROCK!!! Honestly, after my photo session with these two, I was on cloud nine. They were such a joy to be around. The love that they had for one another was so obvious and their adventurous nature was certainly contagious...made me feel like I was a young girl again. We went to San Juan Capistrano Mission for the first portion of our session and then ended up at the local beach nearby. I don't normally do the whole beach getting-wet-in-the-water thing as so many other photographer's do...but, Mike was inspired by a photo that I shot many years ago of a couple laying in the sand together...very sexy shot. I don't regret one moment of our adventure. In fact, they had me in stitches as I witnessed their fearlessness...they completely went for it.

When we left the beach, they held hands as I trailed behind thinking, "this couple is going to last a lifetime." Just as those thoughts lingered through my mind, I noticed an elderly couple sitting in two lawn chairs next to one another, holding hands, sharing a blanket and watching the sunset. I rushed home to my husband and daughter feeling very lucky and blessed.

Thank you Erin and Mike for a wonderful day in which I will never forget. You made a HUGE impression.
