Welcome Baby Eli!

The Adams family welcomed baby Eli on July 9, 2008! When a new baby arrives they take a family photo wearing shirts that state their individual relationship to the new addition. For example "Eli's Mommy" and "Eli's Daddy." All the grandkids had a group portrait when they were tiny and each family member wore their appropriately titled shirt. We had a great time for their family session and I enjoyed meeting baby Eli!

Crystal & Tom's Engagement Session

Crystal and Tom were so much fun to hang out with. Although we had to fight the high tide at Laguna Beach, we still got some great photos of them laughing, having fun, and loving each other. I am really looking forward to being a part of their wedding this November and celebrating with them soon.

I love these next few images of Tom and Crystal dancing on the beach. They did great and at the end of the dance you can tell they are laughing and so happy to be together.

RC & Barbra

When Barbra told me they wanted to take some engagement photos in front of H & R Block, I admit that I was a little bit confused. Then she explained that was where she and RC met and he first asked her out on a date. They are a fun, playful, loving, and incredibly creative couple. They wanted to go to a few locations that reflect some important aspects of their relationship. They both practice Krav Maga, a form of martial arts and self-defense... which explains why they wanted engagement photos in their gym! It was really fun and unique and we all laughed a lot during this part of the session. Then we went across the street to the ArcLight Movie Theater and actually were able to grab a few shots inside the theater. They love seeing movies together and wanted that reflected in their session. Of course we still took some other photos along the way when I we came across some beautiful light and backdrops. I am so excited to photograph their wedding on August 29th!

Santa Monica Pier Engagement Session

Frank and Kris met me at the Santa Monica Pier for their engagement session on Monday. The windy weather didn't stop them from playing in the water or riding bikes! They live in Santa Monica and bike whenever they can. I had such a fun time hanging out and getting to know them. It's clear that they are crazy for each other! I am looking forward to shooting their upcoming wedding.
