Editing our latest engagement session. More to follow, but had to share these two.

Back in November, Tom’s mother asked if we would do the annual honor of photographing the Pfingsten/Rosas families. This would be a particularly special session, the first time since mom and dad moved into their new house that we’ve gathered for pictures. So we chose a spot in their new neighborhood, Shady Grove, and commenced with the shooting. We even got a few good pictures of us–thanks Annie!

We start with Tom’s three nephews, who have had plenty of time in front of the camera over the years…

A couple weeks ago, Brittnee called us to ask if we still had time for a quick pre-Christmas session, and quick was all we had time for–we were leaving for the Philippines in a matter of days. But we set a time, the rain let up long enough for the sun to shine on us for an hour, and we captured some really cute moments between Jon, Brittnee and their daughter.

I’ve known about Los Jilgueros Preserve in Fallbrook for many years. It’s always been a nice place for a quiet walk, but this was the first time we’d done pictures there. Jon and Brittnee actually chose the location, and we’re so glad they did! We’ll definitely be going back for more!

A few weeks ago, Kimm asked if we could do a family session at their house in Valley Center. After agreeing and setting a date, I asked, “How many kids do you have?” The answer: Four.

Four sweet, amazing children–who apparently really enjoy smiling. Or maybe we just caught them on a good day. Either way, if the sun hadn’t gone down I could have gone on taking pictures of these kids for a long, long time. As you can see, the setting was great, too. The horse is theirs (our first family + equine shoot), as are the corrals, trees, and various settings you see in the pictures.

Crandall family, thanks for having us. We had a blast!!!

Aaaaand, the horse. In search of alfalfa. Not even vaguely interested in anything else but hay.

Jeremiah + Shannon

September 26, 2009

Words don’t do justice to how much fun we had with Jeremiah and Shannon at their recent engagement session. It was my second time shooting down at the old Bonsall bridge, only this time we got to head underneath the historic span, which some of us still remember having to drive across as kids. If you passed a big rig, you held your breath. But now it’s gated off to motorists and only accessible on foot or bicycle. Such a great place to take pictures.

Starting off with my proudest moment…Jeremiah and Shannon-0541

Just to give you an idea of how amazing these two are together:

Nate + Sarah

June 21, 2009

Nate is one of our favorite people — we have seen him in the role of fearless leader, goofy camp counselor, and now enamored fiance, a.k.a., putty in Sarah’s hands. Those of you who have met him even just once probably remember his sense of humor and passion for justice.

Last month, we had the distinct pleasure of finally meeting Nate’s fiancee, Sarah, who is every bit as awesome as she seems. They are such a great couple, and we can’t wait to shoot their wedding in August.

These were taken at Mt. Wilson just north of Pasadena, where Nate and Sarah currently reside and will be getting married.

The first place we stopped to take pictures was where Nate proposed earlier this year. This was a re-enactment.

Friends, it’s been too long… Too long since my last post, and too long since Michael and Noelle Bower’s wedding. They have now been married more than six months, and here, at long last, are the best of their wedding pictures.

We had an amazing time behind the lens with Michael and Noelle, who are both such special, talented and loving individuals; as a couple, they are incredible. It was an honor to be part of your wedding; we love you guys!

Without further ado…

One last shot, a personal favorite…

Matt + Candace

April 8, 2009

Two weekends ago, we drove out to Oceanside for an engagement session with Matt and Candace, whose wedding we’ll be shooting in May. They seemed completely at home in front of the camera, and we had a blast trying to capture how in love they are. Can’t wait for your big day!

Mike + Rachel

March 18, 2009

Dori and I headed down to Encinitas last Friday for an amazing engagement session with Mike and Rachel. I’ve known Rachel for years, since we were both kids, but just met Mike on Friday. We were on the beach for a couple of hours — kind of a long session, but they were both good sports about it, and the results speak for themselves. Thank you guys for rocking it!
