So loved running around Abbot Kinney with these two! I always hope to capture this type of open natural laughter during sessions – Meghan & Lee were cracking up the entire time, without me even having to throw in my usual {oh-so-hilarious} jokes. They were troopers even when the weather started doing this weird misty/sprinkly thing, and didn’t let that dampen their moods or halt the session. And as always, I loved all the colorful little nooks we found around the neighborhood!

Engagement sessions at home will never cease to steal my heart. This coziness, this relaxation, this warmth – it’s something I strive to capture at every session, and with an intimate backdrop like a home, these qualities just seem to come out so easily & naturally.

Candice & James recently purchased their first home together, a little 1920s style house with the loveliest little backyard. Hardwood floors, vintage windows, a breakfast nook, lemon trees, ivy creeping against walls – it all comes together to form a canvas against which so many wonderful memories will be made! I fell in love with this amazing couple & their beautiful new space :)

I’ve shot at Griffith Park/the observatory a bunch of times, but I feel like every shoot comes out so differently from the last. It’s such a versatile location… influenced by the light, the weather, the time of day, what little nook we happened to stumble across that time, and of course, the couple. I love that the same spot can photograph differently, just depending on who is in the frame :)

The first thing I noticed (and loved!) about Nisha & Woody is how relaxed and chill they are – they go with the flow and made walking around the observatory with them & making pictures so much fun and a total breeze. I’m overjoyed that Shirley of Fresh Events matched us up and am so excited to work with them again soon for the wedding!
