Tim + Molly's Engagements {Santa Margarita Ranch}

Amazing amazing amazing! That's all I can really say about my time with Tim and Molly on Saturday. They were so relaxed and playful in front of the camera...I could have shot all night. Yes, it helps that they are both extremely attractive people however their personalities were what grabbed my attention from the start. It was so evident that they truly enjoyed one another and that they play together. When I say play, it's obviously they adore each other's presence but bigger than that, it was clear they enjoyed experiencing life together. A life full of laughter, humor and adventure. I CANNOT WAIT until their wedding...what a joy!

Dean + Sarah {Still Waters Vineyard}

We did it...we beat the rain up to the minute! Friday I had Dean and Sarah's engagement session scheduled. Knowing they were leaving CA the very next day, Friday was the only day they had open for their session. All day long I watched the weather hoping the rain held. We were lucky and it actually turned out to be a great session with the rain starting once we finished and got into the cars. We started at Still Waters Vineyard, which is always an amazing venue, and we finished up at a random field on the side of the road. The field was green everywhere we turned and provide a beautiful setting with the oak tree silhouettes...I found myself wanting family portraits taken there. As for Dean and Sarah, I was graced with a sneak peak into their relationship and saw them to have a great sense of playfulness and laughter. I have no doubt that they will enjoy the married life together...best of luck you two!

Adam + Tianna's Sweet Family {Paso Robles}

Great cheeks and amazing eyes...this is how I would describe Adam and Tianna's little boy. Saturday's shoot with the three of them was a treat for me and very relaxing. We walked around downtown Paso Robles and took a few pit stops to get some energy out and enjoy the swings. I have to say, watching this sweet family interact with each other was a treat for me because there was a tenderness about them all...a parent's love for a child is something I hope I never get tired of capturing because it is truly priceless.

Justin + Holly's Engagements {Paso Robles}

Justin and Holly's wedding is quickly approaching next month so it was great to reconnect with them before the big day. They both have such a contagious wit to them that I found myself smiling behind the camera during much of our shoot...I can only image what their wedding will be like...especially since their reception will be held at the melodrama in Arroyo Grande! The weather flirted with rain the whole time we were together but it created for some unique lighting and skyline.

Jack + Jack {Paso Robles}

Thursday's portrait session was a joy for me to shoot. Little Jack stole my heart with his adorable smile and sweet affection for his dad...it was evident they have a special relationship. We ventured around Castoro Cellars for the shoot and found everything from unique backdrops, entertaining chickens and an awe-inspiring tractor for Jack (he loved it). I look forward to hopefully capturing Jack as he continues to grow!
