After an awesome weekend full of family beach moments, spring cleaning, spontaneous kitchen painting and all around good times, I feel the need to bring you an awesome little engagement session from a few weeks ago.
A moment of sunshine through the clouds, some quirky locations and an amazing couple… voila… I give you the gorgeous Sara and Chris.
It was snowy-ish. Cold, and I had just finished shooting 100 kids with bunnies. Something told me that shooting anyways would pay off. I love that it was almost cancelled. Love the colors, the tones, the feelings. Love everything about it, even the chilly wind blowing Karlas hair around perfectly. Not all photoshoots are best in the sun. It always amazes me how each and every outdoor session takes on a life of its own. Plan away, but it will always be exactly as it’s supposed to be. But, if you are open to anything… you will often end up with your own brand of awesome. Love it!!!
I loved our session and can’t wait to photograph their wedding this summer! As if Karla won’t be a stunning bride. Awesome.
I just need to say something… My 2011 WEDDINGS ROCK!!!
I loved her from the first email. Sweet, charismatic and outgoing. Awesome.
Jacquie and Pat are warm, fun, engaging and they just make you want to be around them, not to mention both totally gorgeous.
You two make my job so easy!
Being together twelve years has created an amazingly effortless connection between the two of them. You take one look at them and instantly think….of course they are together. They should be together. They are so natural, so comfortable. A beautiful thing.
Now you love them too, don’t you. I can’t wait to photograph their Pacific Shores wedding this summer. Admit it, you can’t wait either.
The day before the session Jeff nonchalantly says something like “Oh, and I’m going to propose during our maternity session, do you think that’s ok?”
HUH? Do I think that’s ok? NO, I think thats incredible. He said “we might need to plan it, she might cry”.
I said “She might cry? She’s pregnant. For sure she is going to cry!!”
A beautiful moment, at an amazing and exciting time in life. I am honored to have been chosen to capture it all.
Jeff and Sydney, may the universe shower you and your baby, with nothing but sweetness.
Bryce’s mom always told him to “surround yourself with good people”.
I can’t say that I disagree.
We are so lucky to have such wonderful, kind, loving people in our lives. We are truly surrounded with good people. Big hearts go a long way with us. I’m all about the big hearts.
Shannon has a heart that is truly unparalleled. She is a gem. Bryce, Maisie, Frank and I are better with her in our lives. We smile more, laugh more, and certainly love more. Shannon works with me. Creates magic with me. Dreams up wild ideas with me. Inspires me. She picks me up 9+ months pregnant (when I was miles from laughter) and brings sunshine. We chase rainbows, wild skies and speak in a language all of our own. She turns everything into art. Her presence in our life, is a true masterpiece.
In the rain, the pouring rain… we don’t even need the sun to show up, as Shannon brings it with her.
To celebrate life and love, we ventured out in the pouring rain to photograph her world. Of course, the sun came with her. She brought it out of the clouds. Congrats to you and Ryan on your recent engagement. We love you guys more than words, and are so very excited to join in on every adventure along the way. May we all grow old together (well… not in the same house, but close). xoox
The fabulous Sako pup showing off some of his very best moves
For some reason, Sako decided that the photoshoot was the perfect time to be the most wild. Of course.
