Vantage Babies | Baby Leo

Little Leo the Lion…such a sweetheart and such a smile! The only thing that Leo’s mom, Kelly, asked was that I make sure to capture that smile–and as soon as I saw it for the first time, I knew exactly why she made that special request. Kelly and Paul (remember their gorgeous Chicago wedding from a couple years ago?) made the trek up to Wisconsin from Chicago while I was in town over the holidays just so I could capture that famous smile…and I’m so glad they did! Enjoy the sneak peek and slideshow of Leo in all his adorableness and glory!

    Such sweet pics of our little boy…memories forever. Hard to tell he was wearing his cranky pants that day! ;) Thank you, Jena!

Vantage Portraits | Harmony | North Park, San Diego, California

You might remember Harmony from the fab duo of Harmony and John (check out their e-session and their wedding photos). For Christmas, John surprised Harmony with her very own afternoon portrait session–which is pretty typical for John, it seems, since he also surprised Harmony with a gorgeous wedding  ring “upgrade” in the middle of their wedding ceremony, too. Yeah, he’s a romantic. :) So Harmony and I traipsed around North Park in San Diego for an afternoon, playing around with cool backgrounds, textures, colors, etc. My favorite part of the session was when I told Harmony I loved her shoes, asked to shoot just her feet and she replied “Definitely! I love my feet!” I just love Harmony’s attitude–always so positive and up for anything. Enjoy the sneak peek of her session!

Back from the abyss…with a big (and long overdue) announcement!

Hiya kids! As you may have noticed, I’ve been MIA from this blog for the past month. Michael and I made a last minute decision to extend our holiday vacay in Wisco to THREE whole weeks and then two of my closest friends were in town last week. Hence, the MIA-ness. :) But I’m back…with a big announcement for all y’all.

(Drum roll please)…Michael and I are having a baby boy at the end of March! We are SO incredibly thrilled to meet our little guy and we’ll definitely be sharing plenty of pictures after he makes his debut. I’ll be going on maternity leave from the time he’s born until the end of May but until then, I’m back from the abyss! :)

Married! | Harmony + John | La Jolla, California

Harmony and John’s wedding completely and utterly convinced me that I’m in love with shooting small, intimate weddings, particularly elopements, which is exactly what their wedding was. They’ll be having a wedding for friends and family in February back in Virginia, but this day, this heartfelt, wonderful day, was just for them.

Harmony spent the afternoon preparing at Britt Scripps Inn, getting her makeup and hair done by professional stylist and good friend (and their marriage witness) Wendy. John was waiting for Harmony at the beach in La Jolla, where they were joined in marriage…and John surprised Harmony by swapping the band she had chosen with another gorgeous diamond ring, which she only discovered when they started exchanging rings (don’t worry, she’ll get her band in February).  Afterward, we did a bride and groom portrait session at the beach, then trekked into La Jolla Village after the sun set.

It was such an honor for me to be a part of this experience….thank you Harmony and John!

Engaged! | Nicky + Marvin | Santa Fe Depot, San Diego, California

I can always tell I’m happy with the results from an e-session when I find myself smiling and sighing (“awwwww…”) as I edit a session. And I was definitely doing my fair share of that while I edited Nicky and Marvin’s session. Because, let’s face it, these two can’t get much cuter or more obviously in love. They were such a blast to work with.

The weather reports called for rain so we put our heads together for a great indoor location..and I was thrilled when Nicky was all about doing a session at the Santa Fe Depot in downtown San Diego (I’ve been wanting to do a session there for awhile now).  Shooting at the Depot reinforced for me how much I love shooting at new locations, too. So often, couples will include “has shot at our wedding location before” as a plus for hiring a particular photographer…but I find that I often do my BEST work when I haven’t shot at a location before: my mind is open, the creativity wheels spin faster and harder and I’m inspired by little things that other photographers might overlook after having shot at a location for awhile.

But I’ll let you judge for yourself…make sure to check out the slideshow and enjoy the sneak peek. Congrats, Nicky and Marvin, on your engagement!
