Who says “love” means “nil” in the game of tennis? It sure meant more than that to two high school sweethearts that met and fell in love at South Pasadena High School on the tennis court…. Dennis and Alice are full of all kinds of fun surprises. I met them after they were surprised to...

{ivan + sharon} malibu canyon state park engagement
I love Sharon and Ivan! I swear, Sharon has walked out of an Anthropologie catalog – literally! Every little thing she puts on is like heaven!! It was such a delight to explore the Malibu Canyon State Park with Sharon and Ivan for their Engagement session. We even hopped a fence and hiked a ravine....
{shane + gena} los angeles engagement
They met in Italy…as American tourists….and fell in love. Shane is from Kansas, Gena is from Central California. Italy is now in their blood – and they speak the language, drink the wine, eat the food and plan to live there again…sooner than later. It was such a blast to take them to Santa Monica...
{brett + jessica = bressica} santa monica picnic & rooftop engagement
Any couple that has created a “merged name” (a.k.a. “Brangelina”) is automatically more fun. Brett and Jessica, sometimes referring to themselves as “Bressica” are so stinkin’ adorable I can hardly stand it! When Brett and Jessica contacted me, they were getting ready to move away from their beloved city, Santa Monica. They wanted to capture...
{justin + danielle} Carmel Forest and Beach Engagement
Justin and Danielle are phenoms. I swear. They are probably two of the most talented and successful young people under 25. Danielle works as an executive for State Farm Insurance, and Justin works in Sales for Pebble Beach Golf Course. (This meant I got a special sneak peek of the course after the recent US...
{aeron + christin} venice beach maternity engagement
Venice Beach comforts me, strangely. It’s a wild and eccentric place, but I think that I feel oddly at ease, because it reminds me of home: The Bay Area – particularly Berkeley… (aka “Bezerkly”). Aeron and Christin came to me with a creative idea – a maternity engagement shoot! They are getting married next April,...
{zack + megan} tomales bay oyster love
Mmmm! Oysters! You either love ‘em or hate ‘em. Megan and Zack love ‘em!! And they invited me to join them on Tomales Bay for such a yummy engagement shoot. We all sat around and enjoyed some tabasco-and-lime-covered delicacies with a little Prosecco. Mmmm… Not to mention, I got to play with their little puppy...
{kevin + jamie} san francisco engagement
I am starting to see a theme with Jamie, Kevin and I. It’s beer. I first met them over beers back in 2008, while shooting the MLB All-Star Party in San Francisco. I snapped a shot of them with the legendary Wade Boggs, while celebrating with everyone that night. Months later, I heard from them:...
{steve + diana} country apple farm engagement
At the end of our engagement session I said to Steve and Diana: “I don’t know HOW MANY rules (ahem… “laws”…) we broke, but we got AMAZING photos!” We jumped fences, trespassed several times (maybe more unknowingly), laid in the soil of orchards, and juggled apples on a farm. I loved shooting these two. Who would have...
