When I showed up to meet Sharon + Jonathan for their engagement session Jonathan pulled out his guitar, I thought it was awesome and such a great prop to add to their engagement photos! Especially since during their courtship (now there's a word I got from my mom:)!) Jonathan played the guitar a ton for Sharon and it became on of her favorite things about him. So sweet!
Also, also, Sharon's beautiful hair and make-up was done by none other than THE Nicole DeAnne!
I really love the "dreamy" feeling of the next two shots.
My favorite shot of the day!
Their wedding is just around the corner, December is closer than ever before!

sometimes you see two people together and you just smile. sharon & jonathan are one of those couples. you captured their affection perfectly.
i love the b&w "grass view" shot. there's also something about the very first shot that is just so classic -- i think this is one they will look back on til their old and grey with fond memories.

You know what I like about december being closer than ever before is, It remains to be true until it's here. Every day we get closer than before, until Jan 1. Then every day is getting farther away until the exact middle of the year, then it gets closer again. Hmm, good thing I didn't say that out loud. Pretty lame. Anyway, I'm pretty sad that you started putting logo watermarks on all your pics, because I've been getting weddings on a different blog by showing images I stole from yours. It's worked great until now. I'm just not as good. A photographer zero, with no calories or sugar. hahaha. Love the pics you guys! You continue to amaze me byte by byte. My favorite Photograph of this shoot was the ring shot...(that was a pre-emptive pat on the fanny for the future ring shot)

The Schloss family has been a super awesome family since day one! Our relationship with them started about five years back when I (Amelia) was hired to nanny for Baden (the beautiful little girl you see in the first shot below). During that same time I began to be interested in photography, so Baden got to be my practice-on subject for all of my school projects. Also, almost every year since then the Schloss family has hired me to shoot their family portraits at the end of each summer. It has been such a pleasure coming back around year after year watching their family and children grow, especially Baden, since she was my side-kick for an entire year!
The session was shot at their brand new house in Manhattan Beach. I really enjoyed this because it was an environment that everyone was comfortable in and it felt more relaxed that other family portrait sessions I had done in the past.
No doubt, these kids have the best blue eyes I have ever seen!
My favorite shot of the day!

Finally made it onto your blog!! We were sorry to lose such a great nanny, but happy to have you in our lives as our official family photo biographer! You are truly gifted and happy that Baden was there at the begining. We have some great shots from your early "experimental" years. Thanks again and see you soon!
