Associate Kayla: James + Mindy's Engagements {Edna Valley}

Monday, May 30, 2011

Edna valley is one of the most beautiful places on the Central Coast, so naturally Kayla was more than excited when Mindy told her she wanted to shoot there. Mindy looked exquisite in her vibrant coral dress and quickly began to work the camera, making Kayla's job effortless. James and Mindy's love for eachother was evident in their affection towards one another...we look forward to their wedding in August.

Jamie + Laurie's Engagements {Paso Robles}

Monday, May 16, 2011

Jamie and Laurie's engagement session was a game against the sunset, but our time turned out amazing. They are such a sweet couple to be around. We met up at a field in Paso Robles and played with the lighting...one of my favorite things to do. I always enjoy a new challenge/twist to shoot so it was very enjoyable for me. I left our time smiling since they were both so affectionate...they will love being married.

Scott + Julie's Engagements {Bishop Peak}

Sunday, May 15, 2011

The lighting from Scott and Julie's engagement session made me almost squeal from excitement. I found myself pausing and asking, "Is this really happening?" Needless to say, it was perfect. I have to admit I was a little hesitant to shoot at Bishop Peak again since the last time left me with poison oak for almost a month, but I showed up covered head to toe and ready to work. Scott and Julie were amazing to be around and the time flew. Julie is captivating on camera so they made my job extremely easy...their wedding cannot come soon enough.

Baby Kade {Paso Robles}

Thursday, May 12, 2011

I had the sweet joy of photographing Kade's first pictures on Monday. Being only 2 weeks old, he was as trooper during our shoot. I also kept telling his glowing parents how rested and relaxed they seemed considering Kade is their first child. I was impressed...that definitely was not me with my little Addie. I am excited to hopefully continue capturing this little man as he grows throughout the year, but enjoy this time, Cortnie and Josh...they grow too quickly.

Joel and Erin's Engagements {Shell Beach}

Tuesday, May 10, 2011

I love engagement sessions with a twist. Joel and Erin told me at their consultation appointment that they wanted to "trash" a wedding dress for their engagement session...I was thrilled! We meet up on Saturday for the shoot and our time was perfect. The weather was beautiful and we all enjoyed laughing together (especially when people tried to warn us that the water was about to get Erin's dress wet). I joked with them both that we should just go ahead and have them married since they were all dressed up and Erin looked absolutely amazing. Joel and Erin are such a vivacious couple and I cannot wait until their wedding.
