this engagement shoot with taylor and brikell was one for the books! they were the type of couple that i did not need to direct at all, they just did their own lovey dovey thing and i got to take some beautiful pictures of them.
Read Morei have been dying to do pictures in a botanical garden or nursery forever. i have pretty much tried to talk everyone i have worked with in to doing their shoot there, but somehow it never worked out until now.
Read Morei used to dread doing family pictures in temecula because i felt like there weren't enough locations that were different/interesting enough. then one day bobette and i went scouting and found so many cool spots within about 10 miles of my house. cute birch trees, orange groves, peppercorn trees and some pretty fields.
Read Moreas i finished uploading all of these pictures i realized that it is the third post in a row of pictures at the beach! i contemplated saving it for later, but i don't even care because i actually really love this shoot. i keep thinking that i'm sick of taking pictures for people at the beach, but then they always turn out so well that i just over it and am ready to do them again!

I am so excited to share my first engagement session! I am lucky to have a pretty cousin who was brave enough to be my first experiment. It was so much fun to spend the afternoon taking her and her fiancé’s pictures.
We originally planned to go to Balboa Park's air and space museum and botanical gardens. After realizing that some of the locations were closed for the day and that we didn’t want to drive that far, we made a last minute decision to take the pictures in Old Town, Temecula. I figured out that location is secondary to people. We found an awesome wooden wall, and some cute stairs and archways. Oh, and a gorgeous weeping tree. Tress also wanted to take pictures in the Orange Groves (where we spent many of our childhood days). We were dying over how they turned out. As we were driving back, there was a gorgeous sunset so we pulled over on the dirt road and took some of my favorite pictures of the session.
I am looking to get more practice photographing people. I still consider myself a beginner (though I think I have come a long way since I got my camera a year ago). If anyone has any shoots they are wanting to do, please contact me and we can talk about what you want, pricing and such. I have booked my first maternity and newborn shoots (!!) and am excited to try new things!
