Last month for mother's day my cousin Sam surprised his sweet girlfriend with a portrait session with yours truly. I thought it was a pretty sweet idea! Nikki and her girls are adorable together and there's definitely a great love that shines through their images!
My favorite shot of the day...complete happiness!

James + Shanti hired us to shoot their engagement photos before the head back to their roots at the end of this month to tie the knot in Indonesia. Since they hired us via email, the first time I met James + Shanti was on the day of our shoot and this always makes me feel a little anxious because I never know what to expect. Well, any expectations that I had were exceeded by this sweet, quiet, and loving couple.

We first learned of Lara + Tim's existence when we received a sweet email from Lara inquiring about our wedding photography services. The thing that drew us first to them was the way that Lara described her and Tim's relationship. Simply put:
"We are a very comical and loving couple and want someone to capture our special day!"
We were delighted when they decided to hire us right after our initial consultation with them!
Lara + Tim invited us shoot their engagement session in Marina Del Rey. Since they are both avid sailors, it was a perfect location that put them in an environment that they were both comfortable and natural in. We started at the beach and then headed over to the marina where we went aboard a boat that Tim looks after and sails as well. Introducing Lara + Tim!
Excited for their wedding to follow in August!!!

Astounding. I'd say more than that, but my breath has been completely taken away.

Mark Sweeney said:
Great shoot. Recently RSS'd (doesn't that sound better than "stalker") ya and looking forward to more. Great balance of lighting & ambient on the boat. Very creative and I love your color balance. Many times the distortion from the fisheye can be distracting and poorly placed. I love the bent pillar under the pier, I think it adds kind of a cool element to it.

Oh CRAP! I'm all out of paypal and credit card...just this morning in fact I was spending the last credit on the actual moon boots that N. Dynamite worn in the dance scene, and get this, they were $750. What a sad day! Do you take payment in the form of song or partial nudity? If so, I'm in! You guys, I need to be serious for one holy second...if I buy all 12 spots can you come to my house for the Lyon-shop? I've had a long week that week...(?what?) and just want to relax in this killer fort I've made out of dictionaries and floral patterned curtains. Love on! -Rog
