b * c | on a date

April 1, 2010

last month we met up with bethany and corey over on the westside for a lovely morning session. now while i love the light at sunset, morning sessions are just as awesome. there’s just something about the morningness of it all that gives it that quiet, fresh feel. we started out in temescal park over by pacific coast highway. this was where bethany surprised corey with a picnic and hike for his birthday last year. from what i understand, they also do some animal rescue work and decided it would be fun to bring their two little furry friends, ethel and kujo, along for the morning.

after that we all jumped in the car and headed over to the third street promenade for some santa monica photo fun. this was where they had their second date and also where the dogs first met (and approved of each other). they figured, if the dogs are okay with it – it’ll probably turn out to be a good thing. and sure enough, the dogs were right. more than just the imagery itself, i love how at home they are with each other. happy. comfortable. in love.

speaking of love, they took us out for crepes afterwards and boy was that good. we had mentioned our love for crepes and before we knew it, we were enjoying sweet & savory crepes and mimosas while chatting about the wedding. good times!

it rained pretty hard the night before so we were all expecting clouds and rain, but got signature california clear skies instead. isn’t the morning light just incredible? i need to make a note to do early morning sessions more often. here’s a teaser of this dynamic duo for now. more to come later, i promise.

S.S. ALBUM SPREADS

January 25, 2010

i promised we’d post more photos from sally and stephen’s shoot in hollywood so i better keep my word. first off, let me say that i’m totally in love with them and the set we got from their session. seriously, they could be models. either that or we’re just lucky to have such awesome couples. it was a bit difficult to weave our way through the tourist crowds on that busy day, but it was all in good fun. here are a few of my favorite spreads from their album.

sally is really into fashion and style so they wanted to have shoot in hollywood. there were so many cool places, but this last set of them leaving through the parking structure yielded some of my favorite images from the day.

AMANDA * NATHAN | LOVE

September 9, 2009

We met with Amanda * Nathan a while ago for this set and I’m just getting to blogging them now. The summer wedding season is completely kicking my butt and I knew I had to get them out before their wedding at the gorgeous Lindley-Scott House in Azusa. These two were a bit camera shy at first, but warmed up and rocked it as we strolled down the streets of Pasadena.

Love her red shoes! They’re such a stark contrast in color it just makes everything pop.
