Austin and Alex’s Tesoro Viejo engagement session was a lot of fun! These two have been together for a long time and it shows in their banter and the perfect ease they have with each other.

I am so excited to share Mao and Jimmy’s Homer Ranch engagement session! It was SO beautiful up there. We met in April, after an exceptionally rainy season. We were blessed with the greenest hills full of wildflowers and the river was full of water. This was my first time photographing at Homer Ranch and it is for sure going to be a go-to location for me.

You guys, you are going to be blown away (no pun intended) by this blossom trail and rural engagement session!! It was SO windy! When I say windy, I mean the kind of windy that almost literally blows you away. You can barely walk it is so strong. Yes, THAT windy.

In another post I explained why engagement sessions are so important. You can read it here. This blog will explain why I only offer exclusive engagement sessions to Stargazer couples.

You might not know this, but engagement sessions were very different than they are today. It used to be that an engaged couple would go to a studio to have just a few formal portraits taken, then they would select one to announce their engagement in the newspaper.

I am SO behind on this Morro Bay engagement session, but is worth the wait! There is a great story behind this session. My photographer bestie, Susy of Susy Photo, lives in Kansas City, MO. She was coming to California for a styled shoot we were both going to attend. She wanted to do a beach session while she was here and asked if I could put something together.

Ashley and Chris’s Lake Tahoe engagement session is BEAUTIFUL! Lake Tahoe has always been special to them, so it was only fitting that we took their engagement pictures here.
