Mary + Brandon are engaged!

Mary called me the night before their engagement shoot in a slight panic. Brandon had a freak basketball accident and ended up with a black eye the week prior! The black eye stuck around longer than they anticipated, but fortunately it was barely noticable by the shoot! Mary has now forbidden basketball for the month of May! (ok maybe not, but we joked about it!)

We met Mary and Brandon at the train depot in San Juan Capistrano. I hadn't been to SJC since I was in my early teen years and was so stoked to get the chance to go back! It did not disappoint! We had a blast searching out different nooks and crannies of this town!

Can't wait for your May wedding, you two!

Doesn't Mary have an amazing smile?

This was my first attempt at textures. I'm thinking it looks pretty good...do you like?



Love train tracks! Tim was on official train lookout!
Yes I laid down on train tracks!
Makes me think of American Gothic.

There is this old jail cell in the middle of a bunch of houses! I thought it was fun!


Exploring the parking garage. I risked my life for this shot (kinda!)
More parking garage...

For the back of their engagement album!
Brandon, Mary, Tim (cute face, hun!) and me:

Wow monster post! Hope you enjoyed it!

XOXO,

Robert and Theresa are Engaged!

Theresa found my business card at It's A Grind coffee shop in San Marcos! Marketing of all kinds is alive and well! They hired me to shoot their engagement session.

I met this adorable couple at La Jolla Cove this past Sunday. We made sure to meet early enough to not miss the big game! The Charger pride was out, loud and proud that day!

These two are getting married on May 17, 2008 in Dana Point. Theresa is going to make an amazing bride!

Had to throw this last shot in here...another great one from Tim! I love the negative space on this one.

Jenn and Jon

They are so cute together. Jon is such a jokester, I think you can see that in these photos.

They are engaged to be married September 8, 2007. I'm looking forward to that wedding, they crack me up, so I can only imagine how fun the wedding will be!

I love Jewelry!

Ring shots are one of my favorite things to do! Maybe it's because I worked for Zale's Jewelers for over 2 years in College...I'm not sure!

Here are a few of my favorite rings shots of the last year:

Which is your favorite of the group?

Jen + Bill (plus one)

Balboa Park is one of my favorite places to shoot at. There are so many nooks and crannys to explore! I met my April 14th wedding couple there on Saturday morning. They have an adorable 15 month old son named Will. Jen's mom also came along to help out! I took a bunch of the two of them, and also some of the 3.

Let me know what you think!

The happy family, Jen, Will and Bill
I just adored little Wills Converse. Stylish! I had to shoot them :)
