Charli + Corey: San Onofre Couple's Session

A SAN ONOFRE COUPLE’S SESSION

My friend Corey hit me up to do some photos of him and his girlfriend. I was pumped because he’s got such a cool vibe, especially on Instagram. We each put together some inspiration then came together to ultimately shoot at this spot as well as his apartment. This location is pretty epic and one of the many places my friends and I scouted when things re-opened (thanks Amy for the tip on this spot!!).

Pro-tip: If you’re a photographer and want access to rad locations, go out and scout! Pick one day a week to scout a few spots nearby each other or just drive around. You’ll be surprised what you’re able to find when you dedicate time to use street-view on GoogleMaps.

Ben + Irene: Queensboro Bridge Couple Session

AN EVENING IN QUEENS

I met up with my friend Ben and his dog Rocky for a test shoot then his girlfriend Irene joined us for a bit. We didn’t originally plan to do photos of the two of them, but man these turned out so dreamy and beautiful! We met up in Queens and walked over to this area below the Queensboro Bridge. Honestly, I just need to let the photos do the talking here!

Benji + Connor: Chelsea, Manhattan Couple's Session

A WALK THROUGH CHELSEA

Ahhh these sweet friends of mine!! Benji and I have been Facebook friends for years and have followed each other on Instagram. We finally met up to do a shoot with a brand last year. He had such good things to say about Connor, so I knew I needed to meet him and do a shoot with the two of them. Then they adopted Ava, so I knew we needed to do a shoot ASAP!! We met up in Chelsea for this sweet little shoot (right after I got back from Boston by the way on a bus!). Enjoy these cuties!

Amber + Bryce: Rainy Costa Mesa Engagement Session

A RAINY ENGAGEMENT SESSION IN NEWPORT BEACH

My friend Bryce got engaged (and is now married) and of course we had to take some engagement photos. Bryce and I met on a test shoot because as I’m sure you guessed, he’s a model. We had wanted to do another shoot, so this gave us a chance to do another one. We planned a date then he booked a job, postponed to another date and it rained, postponed again and it rained, but this time we pushed through. We went to a couple of cute coffeeshops that I knew would let us shoot inside and eventually it cleared up long enough for us to do a few photos at the beach. We ended the day with Pho and I should have taken photos of that too, but man I love these photos even without those shots.

Jean + Michael: Shaw's Cove + Downtown Laguna Beach Engagement Session

A LAGUNA BEACH ENGAGEMENT SESSION

Shaw’s Cove is one of my favorite beaches in Laguna because there are so many options. Jean and Michael wanted a beach and ice cream or a shake. Originally we had planned to go to Shake Shack, but of course Shake Shack is known for the never ending line. We headed to a gelato spot in downtown Laguna instead. Always have a backup plan in Laguna.
