Michelle & Phong : Laguna Beach Engagement

Well, I got my camera bag and butt wet again this past Sunday shooting Michelle and Phong’s engagement session at Laguna Beach.  I’m an active shooter and often find myself knee deep in water.  I was shooting into the shore and Michelle was suppose to watch my back for incoming waves.  Thanks a lot, Michelle ! :) Well, we all got caught up in the moment and before I knew it a rush of water came and I literally wet my pants.  Thank goodness, my camera bag is somewhat water resistant.

It was a beautiful day at the Main Beach in Laguna Beach. The Sun was bright, but not glaring in the late afternoon. The weather was warm, but not hot. There was a nice constant cool breeze.

We moved inland as night approached to capture all the beautiful ambient light of the many shops nearby.

Michelle and Phong are getting married in late October at The Villa in Westminster.  This will be my first time covering an event at The Villa.  I can’t wait to see what I can do with all the lighting at the venue.

Can you  see the sailboat in the distant horizon?

Sophia: 4 months

Friends and family have asked for updated photographs of my little Pooh-bear.  Sophia is around 4 months old in the photographs below.

The sound of the shutter clicking is quite deafening when all is quiet. I feel nervous that I’ll wake Sophia up with every photograph I capture of her sleeping.

Jenny & Chris:Abalone Cove Engagement

I spent a beautiful Sunday afternoon in Rancho Palos Verdes at the Abalone Cove with Jenny and Chris for their engagement session. The weather was in the mid- 80s and breezy. The beach is a park and ecological reserve teaming with starfish, crabs, urchins and fish. I did not see any abalone though.

Jenny and Chris will be getting married on Oct 25 at the Chart House  in Redondo Beach. I can’t wait to shoot their wedding.

The photograph below is one of my favorites from the session. The composition and their smiles are just pefect.

I noticed this little ledge on our hike back up the trail. You can really miss this little gem while huffing and puffing your way up. I jumped down low, careful not to tumble all the way down, and snapped this photograph of Jenny’s awesome red shoes.
