Lance and Kari's E-Session

Pasadena was the setting for Lance and Kari's E-Session. It was unusually hot for March, so we had to make the best of it. I even enjoyed taking a tea break with them as we sampled a variety of tasty delights.

Lance is a music manager and Kari is a singing artist. How perfect is that! Check out her website...she is sensational.

I am really looking forward to photographing their wedding next month in the beautiful Laguna Beach.

Michelle and Josh's E-session

San Diego's beautiful Balboa Park was the backdrop of Michelle and Josh's Engagement Session. There was almost too much beauty surrounding us...it was quite overwhelming. This is probably why Jennifer and I finished their session after sun-down. We were running all around, taking pictures here...taking pictures there. We were both exhausted as were the couple by the end. However, we are quite happy with the results and have gotten wonderful feedback from Michelle and Josh, as well as their friends and family.

By the way, Michelle is my beautiful cousin whom recently got married. Stay tuned to see their wedding images. It was a fabulous celebration. Love to you both!

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.
