Monterey Engagement session with dog

September 15, 2010 Posted inengagement

There are a lot of great things about photographing Engagement sessions and people in Love. #1 is being around such positive energy.  #2 would be feeling the love. #3 would be having flashbacks and remembering that special time when I was dating my husband. Check out this recent engagement session with Robby, Amy and Bailey. A fun date for them is riding their scooters around Monterey with their dog. Campfires and sunsets. Wine and dog treats. Granted Brad and I didn’t have a scooter but we had a dog and sense of adventure. 19 years together and still the simple pleasures mean so much.

Cocoanut Grove wedding

August 16, 2010 Posted inWeddings

Thank you, Tyra!! And Mr. Jay!

I had a blast photographing Aaron & Rebecca’s wedding last Saturday at the Cocoanut Grove. These are a few of my favorite photos. Most of the fun I had was watching Rebecca transform into  a playful runway model. She said she watched America’s Next Top Model for a month before her wedding to get ideas on how to look her best in front of the camera. She had style, grace and confidence! And most importantly, a great sense of humor! Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Charlson!

I love the last one. That bride is great. She must have been fun to shoot.

Oh my goodness Rebecca these are fabulous!!! YOU are fabulous. Even my Mom had nothing but wonderful things to say about you, and she always is critical of photographers at every wedding she does haha! We can’t wait to see how the rest turn out :) And I love the caption for the blog entry! Thank you Tyra and Mr. Jay indeed, and the wonderful Mr. & Mrs. Stark

[...]  Another thing I like about Cocoanut Grove is that there are so many fun places to take couples during the portrait walk—which is perfectly fitting for a historic amusement park! Here the newlyweds sit in a pedicab across the street from a rustic hotel. Check out this past wedding for more portrait spots. [...]

Baby Portraits

What do you think about these 2 images? I LOVE the expression on Isabella’s face on the left. Maybe because it reminds me of a certain someone or maybe because she looks sooo adorable! It’s probably my favorite image from today’s shoot but the focus is soft. Do you think focus can be forgiven…. sometimes?

Seascape Beach Resort wedding photos

Good times at Seascape Beach Resort!

I love this time of year because I’m usually photographing weddings and portraits on the weekends. This leaves my weekdays for editing and design and the occasional fun shoot.

I wanted to try out a new portable light stand on the beach and what a better place than Seascape Beach Resort in Aptos, CA. Lezlie with Grand Design created the bouquets and hair accessories. Dafni Moon was our Make-up Artist.

I think Rebecca & Ryan had as much fun as I did. We found all the great spots at Seascape and ended our session at sunset.  While we were on the beach I noticed that guests of the resort were being escorted to the beach on golf carts. There were many s’more kits and attendants to help guests build bonfires. What a cool way to unwind watch the sunset. I’m definitely going to book a staycation at Seascape!

I love this dress that I bought at my mother inlaws store, Earth Angel, in Portervile, CA. The veil and ear rings are also from Earth Angel.

Elope Santa Cruz

August 9, 2010 Posted inElope Santa Cruz,Weddings

Recently, Annika and Marcus had a dream of eloping and getting married on the beautiful Northern California coastline. Inspired by a photograph, they travelled from Sweden to Davenport, CA. I was amazed how confident and easy going they were despite a couple of speed bumps they encountered. They were unsure up until their time of departure if the volcanic ash from Iceland would clear in time for take off. Finally arriving in San Francisco they discovered that their luggage had been lost! Wedding dress included. But as fate would have it, the dress arrived and everything worked out. I love the image of Annika jumping for joy. Congratulations!
