Ailis + Michael: Pasadena Christmas Card Shoot

A HOLIDAY COUPLE’S SESSION

Ailis and I have been chatting FOREVER about planning a shoot and I’m SO HAPPY we finally made it happen! We met a while ago after our mutual friend Kristen told Ailis about me. Ailis reached out originally for photos for her social media, but was traveling a lot as was I. We kept missing each other until last winter when we were able to meet for coffee and chat. We chatted more about doing a shoot for her company at some point (still in the works), but then we managed to schedule a shoot for her and her fiance before that shoot happened. We met up in Pasadena (one of my favorite places to shoot) and wandered around Old Town. They are so sweet and were laughing the whole time - that’s all natural people!!!

CC + Ramtin: Balboa Newport Beach Couple Session

A NEWPORT BEACH COUPLE’S SESSION

These rad friends of mine and I met up near the Balboa Fun Zone for a quick little shoot! We walked around Balboa, but didn’t go on any rides. Regardless, we had so much fun because they’re so fun and were down to do anything including jumping on each other’s backs!

Bobby + Mavis: Huntington Beach Couple's Session

A WALK ON THE HUNTINGTON BEACH PIER

Huntington Beach at sunset with a rad couple - I mean WOW! I am obsessed. Bobby and Mavis are SO sweet and wanted to book a shoot after they saw the photos I took of their son’s family. We met up in Huntington Beach and took some shots on the pier, main beach, and Main/PCH. They’re such cool people and are so in love, which made my job so easy.

Pro tip: wear what you’re most comfortable in, especially if you’re opting for a mini session. When you’re comfortable in your clothes, you’ll be much more comfortable in front of the camera! It also helps having your honey to snuggle up with ;)
