I LOVE couples that are willing to do everything for an awesome shoot!  I met Randa and Ethan not too long ago and we had tons of fun during their E-Session despite the super windy conditions :)

Here are some of my favorites:

Nightingale & Johnny drove all the way from Central California to volunteer for our 2nd 2ON1 Workshop.  The day was focused on the use of single directional light and using low light situations to create good portraits.  Here are some of our favorites:

Impromptu portraits with my two girls after a piano competition. :)

They are so tall that I feel like a midget around them… :)
Thea + Earl are my new Canadian friends, that live in Dubai, and had their Old Hollywood-inspired wedding in the amazing Parker Palm Springs, CA.  Some people have that natural kindness and the ability to make people around them feel warmth – they are one of them. They are fun, love-ing, in-love, love-ed, and all-around great, great people. Congratulations, Thea + Earl!!

Katherine & Julian flew me out to San Francisco to document their wedding at the City Hall of just the two of them.  I’ve never shot a wedding this small before, so I was really excited! After getting ready at the charming Inn Above Tide, we went to the City Hall and wait for our number to be called for the ceremony. Afterwards, we went to a lot of places around Tiburon and Sausalito for some portraits before returning to the Inn for cake cutting in their suite. I’m so glad Kat & Julian found me and I’m very happy to be part of their wedding. I also really love that I got to sign my name as a witness!!!
