Disneyland Hotel Engagement Session

We had a little bit of a mix up when it came to Joy and Eric’s engagement shoot location, but sometimes-mix ups can lead to good things and better places!

It was a blast photographing Sarah and Eddie for their engagement session at Disneyland. They love Disneyland and come here all the time with their families, so it was the perfect place for their engagement session.

Disneyland Engagement

What’s not to love about Richard and Ariel? Ariel works at a zoo, which I think may be the coolest job on the planet ~ and Richard has traveled as far as Africa. When Ariel learned Richard was going to be traveling, she invited two stuffed penguins into their family, and gave one to Richard […]

Colorado Bridge Engagement Shoot

I had a blast spending the morning with Ben and Mandy for their Downtown Pasadena engagement shoot. We had a great time and they were really good sports, especially since it was soooo cold outside! It gave them a good excuse to snuggle up close though, so I don’t think they cared too much. 😉 […]
