Ok… I really need to figure out another way to say how sweet the couples that I photograph truly are – but until I figure it out… Malia and Eric are such a sweet couple! LOL!
We had a great time walking around the UCR Botanical Gardens in Riverside (if you haven’t noticed yet… I LOVE those gardens! LOL!) – we talked, laughed, and really got to know each other a little more. I loved spending time with them. I can’t wait to shoot their wedding in October!!! I know it’s going to be absolutely amazing!!!

I had been looking forward to last weekend’s engagement session with a slight bit of anxiety and quite a lot of excitement for quite some time. From the moment Amanda contacted me to be her wedding photographer I knew she was one of the warmest and sweetest people in the UNIVERSE. Seriously. Becaue I personally know everyone in the world! LOL! Amanda was excited about her wedding, about her love for Jake, and about my photography – how awesome is she?!?! So why was I a little nervous?… I had never met her in person before! … As it turned out, I had nothing to worry about – Amanda and Jake are the type of people that just make you feel welcome… I am sooo honored to be a part of their lives!!!!
There are a few things that anyone can tell you when you see them together – they’re happy, they’re fun, they’re totally and completely in LOVE, and yes… Jake is just a tad taller than Amanda
. They are so incredibly cute together!
We shared this time together walking around the beautiful grounds of the Hartley’s Botanica in Somis then we took a short little drive to where their actual wedding will be in July.

Ashley and Evan are such a sweet and fun couple! I know… I say that about all of my couples. I can’t help it – they are ALL awesome! LOL!
Ashley is such a fun-loving, sweet girl – with such a warm personality (you can’t help but want to hug her… no joke!!). Evan is a very creative, and very buff, graphic designer. Seriously – check out Evan’s biceps (he’s super proud of them… as he should be – I can only imagine how hard he works out to get those!). Both of them together are just a ball of energy and fun! We went over to the Grand Tradition Estates in Fallbrook, which is where they will be getting married this coming September. The Estates are absolutely gorgeous (not to mention HUGE!!!), we walked around chatting, having fun, and taking some cool pics along the way.
Ashley and Evan – you guys absolutely ROCK!!! I can not wait for your wedding!!!!

I know I always say how much I love the couples that I work with… and I truly do! Each one of them holds a special place in my heart, and I feel so blessed to be able to share glimpses of their amazing lives!!!
Last week I spent a couple of hours with Melissa and her beautiful family. I absolutely love Melissa… from the moment we met I knew she was a very sweet and inspiring person. She is so amazing! Always cheering me on… she is one of my favorite clients/cheerleaders! Seriously. She is so supportive of me and I love her for it!
.
Melissa’s family is absolutely beautiful… I loved how incredibly shy and well-behaved their two children are – I hadn’t seen children so sweet and polite in such a long time! Just complete CUTENESS.
Thank you guys for sharing these moments with me! I can’t wait for your wedding in a few months!!!

So my annoying migraine finally decided to give me a break and take a hike… boy it took a while this time! ugh! I get so frustrated when I can’t even focus…which only makes my head hurt even more… it’s a nasty little cycle… haha!
I finally got my images from a couple of weeks ago ready to post – better late than never, right?
Last week I had a lot of fun spending some time with Linda and Augie… and their 3 beautiful children. Aren’t they such a cute family! check out their brand new baby… I absolutely adore chubby-wooby babies! I remember a few years ago, back when Jovanni was like 3 months old – my little niece came to visit and pointed out how his chubby little hands and his chubby little arms. She asked us if is wrists hurt, since they looked like they were about to explode!!! LOL!! Linda’s chunky-munky wittle baaabbbby (yes… that’s my baby talk! LOL!) – had those same wrists… I LOVED it!!!
Linda and Augie – you guys have such a beautiful family … I know your wedding will be super special! I can’t wait for your Malibu wedding next month!

Last Sunday I spent some time with Jacy and Carlos at the Santa Monica pier. From the moment that I met these two, we all just clicked – Jacy is one of the sweetest girls you could ever meet (her smile makes you smile… seriously). They’re both very laid back, very easy going, and extremely happy to be in love with each other… and they enjoyed taking pictures – this is jus my type of couple!!!
We had such a good time at the pier. Jacy and Carlos – you guys rock! I serioulsy can’t wait to have a blast at your wedding!!!!

Having fun in front of the Carousel room at the Santa Monica Pier


LOVE how much fun they had!!!

Here is another session that I did several weeks ago… shame on me for not posting it before… I know – it was such a sweet session too!!!
One of the first things that Jason told me when we started walking down to the beach, was how beautiful Jenn looked that day! I smiled and agreed with him… thinking how sweet is it that he loves her so much!!! I mean… I know that all of my clients love each other… and I can see it in their eyes – but it made my heart smile to hear him beaming with pride and love for Jenn!!!
Jason and Jenn… your love makes my heart smile!!!!

Last week I had the pleasure of shooting one of the most fun engagement sessions I have ever done! I loved working with Tom and May… they were such an incredibly fun and outgoing couple! They seriously made each other laugh literally the entire time… they even had me almost rolling on the ground too! I love couples that enjoy each other so much that they helped each other forget how nervous they were to take pictures. We did their engagement session at the Kyoto Grand Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles… at their Japanese Gardens. I had a blast shooting their session, I can not wait for their wedding in Nov.!!!!!

The rooftop garden had a great view of the City Skyline!
