Suzie and Dan

A couple weeks ago Brandon and I had SO much fun with Suzie and Dan. From the first conversation I was praying they would pick us! They had seen our work in my parent's coffeeshop up in Cambria, the Rainbow Bean (best scones and espresso around) on their way up to Carmel. They are getting married up at Ragged Point later this year. We met with them up there at the point on a beautiful day. We romped around, saw the bench where the proposing all went down and headed down the coast for some more shots. We spent a few hours and could have spent 24 more! We were having sucha good time. They are so easy to love and quite good looking. Check out Dan and Suzie's beautiful eyes!

Beloved Dusty Day

My dear sweet animal Dusty Day has gone to heaven.
She was such an amazing dog and friend to me and so many. She was our family dog growing up. I met her when I was just 12 yrs old when she retired (veeery early) from being a seeing eye dog. She became mine when my parents moved away from me to Florida in 2000. She was my immediate family. She went on to become my roommate in college, my travel companion to many a road trip. We saw both coasts and Ol' Faithful together. I cannot count the times I depended on her for comfort, relaxation, and joy. The way she would spin to show how excited she was. Her love of chow and treats and especially bananas. The way even at age 15 she would smoke us on a trail. She was always kind, always gentle. Almost always obedient unless of course there was something dead to rub in. She has enriched my life profusely. I have never known a greater loss. I feel so empty without her around. She was so much more than a dog to me. Her personality was so rich and a part of our family. She will be forever missed.

Rebecca and Jonathan

I photographed Rebecca and Jonathan today. The lovely sea fog cleared just in time for them. I tell you what, this couple is not only extremely attractive, but they are so photogenic, know how to model like pros, and are totally in love. The perfect subjects! I love how Rebecca's feiry hair and eyes look matched with Jon's dark skin and features! yum!

Enjoy the slideshow.

Jenn and Mike

We had so so so much fun playing with Jenn and Mike. We got to try out a new technique I learned from a fabulous photographer, AltF and romped around Los Osos. Jenn is so beautiful. She really can't take a bad picture and Mike is such a handsome guy as well as the comedian keeping us all laughing. Here are some of the favorites.

We're going to be on the Hallmark channel!

I just got word that an image of Andrew and Denise from their engagement session has been chosen to be on the Hallmark channel. The producer of the show, New Mornings, was browsing flickr.com and came across Andrew's site(he happens to be a fabulous photographer!). A body language expert will try and decode their dialect from the picture. I am thrilled and excited to see what the experts have to say. I'll be posting the air time as soon as I know...

The Hancock fam

We had so much fun hanging out with this fabulous family! They're photogenic, they are entertaining, they are fun. We ran around the different spots at their house. They have this great red wall in their dining room that made for some nice shots. Becky and Robert are such a goodlooking couple so we took a few shots of them minus the rambuncious kids.
They were so welcoming and easy to be with we could have stayed all day!
Thanks guys! We really enjoy your family.

Niki and Jared

We met with Niki and Jared at Rober Hall Winery where their wedding will be later on this year o do a few engagements. I was so excited as this was our first time meeting eachother. Their wedding is going to be so cool. They are doing a lot of little personal touches and have a real non-traditional style that will be so fun to photograph.
Here are a few from our morning.
