With their wedding coming up in November, I recently met Shaun and Jessica in Encinitas for an engagement session. We’d been hoping for a sunset, but instead we got pure marine layer blah. Luckily, marine layer blah makes the light on the beach so amazing that it would have been hard to take a bad picture (which also had to do with my subjects — you guys rock the camera!!!)

And the winners are…

Series-1

I have to kick this post off with one of my all-time favorite portraits.

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!
