Cameron + Shelby: San Clemente In Home Engagement Session

A SAN CLEMENTE ENGAGEMENT SESSION

Dream friends make dream couple make dream clients! UGH all the goals! After a very unfortunate situation where my Valentine's Day shoot was canceled, I wound up making an even better come back with my friends Cameron and Shelby. Cameron and I had recently reconnected and I mentioned the situation while asking if he and his fiancé might be down for a similar shoot. Shelby had never modeled, but was down to try to help me and oh my word, let's be real she was probably better at modeling than Cameron (who was a professional model when he and I first met). We shot at their home in San Clemente then went down to Ole Hanson and shot by the beach. So so so thankful for friends like these who not only exceeded my expectations. but also were just so real and truly let me into their lives.

Donal + Sofie: Eaton Canyon Maternity Session

A PASADENA MATERNITY HIKE

First things first - do you see Max back there?! Isn't he the sweetest?! He was so fun to have on the shoot because he was so well behaved, sweet and fun! I was beyond stoked when Donal reached out to me after our mutual friend Darren Kennedy sent him my way. Sofie was a killer mama babe! She was hiking, climbing on rocks and telling us to follow her along the craziest paths AND she still looks FLAWLESS after all of that! I absolutely loved spending the evening with these two - such a dream!

Amy + Oleg: DTLA Millwick Wedding

AN ARTS DISTRICT WEDDING

second shot for Nicole Leever

Weddings in downtown are such a dream because us photographers can get all sorts of creative! The arts district is especially awesome because no matter where you look, theres a killer background. Amy and Oleg both got ready at the Ace Hotel then headed over to Millwick for their intimate ceremony. We spent a lot of time hanging out with them and taking photos all over DTLA beforehand!

Ian + Marta: Old Towne Orange Engagement Session

AN ORANGE CIRCLE LOVE STORY

Ian and Marta are one of the sweetest and funniest couples I've met. They had a couple drinks before we met up, which was definitely to our benefit because they were comfortable. I gave them scenarios to act out and taught them all about the "drunk walk" pictured above. They have such a strong connection and they honestly didn't need much direction because they were so in love. We wandered around Old Towne Orange for a bit on a busy weekend day, which of course was crowded, but the photos turned out awesome and I loved hanging with them.
