daisy came down and met me at the beach to fulfill my fantasy of a shoot in the dark with just my one light
i’m glad i have such great friends and willing models! what we didn’t count on was the extreme wind that tried to blow my light over and unusually high tide that daisy almost lost a shoe in!
fun in the dark
sandy and ryan
sandy is another one of my good friends from way back when! i feel incredibly lucky to be able to be a part of my friends’ important life events!! we started at south shores church in dana point which ryan’s grandpa founded, and then ended up at salt creek beach. here are some of my favorites!
daisy and dave
this was such a fun shoot for me! daisy has been my bff since middle school (don’t ask how many years that makes it!) and to be able to do her engagement portraits was so much fun. PLUS her and dave are both models, so it made it great for me! they met in vegas, so we opted to do the shoot there while i was in town for a wedding. i had a hard time choosing between them all! and sorry dave, you look great, but i’m pretty sure daisy stole the show!
the d family!
it was so great to see the d family again! this was my 3rd shoot with them, and i love seeing their kids grow! we met up in vegas and got some great shots! the kids absolutely loved the peacocks, and lucky for us, they even happened to color coordinate
the t family
i’m sure the t family has been dying to see these pics! i went on vacation, and brought all my stuff with me, but apparently my laptop decided it needed a vacation as well because it did NOT want to work! so i’m finally getting these up
this shoot was exciting for a couple reasons… 6 boys - how could that NOT be energetic and exciting?!?!, and then at the end, i decided to spice things up a little by stepping on either a jellyfish or sea urchin of some kind. whatever it was, it swelled up my entire foot by the end of the day! but at least i was able to finish my shoot with these fun, cute boys! i loved seeing their relationships with each other, and kept thinking how much fun their parents must have with all of them!
