Shawn & Shannon...L.A.'s Next Top Model...Engagement Session

So yeah, there are many problems in the world. And many problems in our lives that we have to try and fix or solve. Sometimes we are able to do this, and sometimes it is just out of our hands. Well, this post is one of those out of my hands situations. Only my problem is which photos do I post when I love every single on of them!??

Shawn and Shannon are two beautiful models! Okay, not professionally, but they should be! I had so much fun with them on our shoot and can't believe how much I love these photos! Shannon is a natural and looked fabulous even when she wasn't trying to. And Shawn, you would NEVER be able to tell that he doesn't model for Calvin Klein as a day job! He did so well with being easy going. We all drove together and jumped out of the car whenever I saw something cool to shoot at. The whole time I am yelling from the backseat.. Okay stop the car! Umm okay, never mind, no good. Keep going. OOOH wow stop! Get out. Okay lets go now. ha ha And he was such a trooper.

Shawn and Shannon, I am so happy for your life together and you two just re-establish the fact that love can be found when you are not looking. And sometimes, it is right in front of your face and you don't even know it! Can't wait to see you when you get back from your fabulous wedding in Maui! I couldn't narrow the pictures down, it just felt wrong. ha! So enjoy!

Encinitas Watch Out!!

This past weekend I went down to Encinitas, which is located in north county San Diego. I absolutely love love love this town and basically all of San Diego as a whole! It is my town to the tee. I love the feel I get as soon as I get there. I feel happier, less stress and motivated. Is it weird that a city can actually motivate me? Ha! Anyhoo, I am working in both L.A. and San Diego right now, and while I went down on this trip I had three different sessions.  

This session was with Ryan and Tara. I LOVE LOVE LOVE them. Not only because they are exactly what San Diego means to me (easy going, happy, up for anything, cool, spiritual, loving etc) but because Ryan is my brother and Tara is his AMAZING girlfriend! Seriously I couldn't have lucked out any more with an awesome chick! 

I was so happy that I was able to shoot them and we had so much fun with it! Running around downtown Encinitas, stopping in front of random cool doors and shops, hopping into deserted tractors, using the hood of someone's car (thanks mister!), climbing into closed lifeguard stations, you name it! Hope you enjoy a few of the pictures, more to come!

Just a few more of a sweet sweet couple!

A few more from Michelle and Ed's shoot in downtown L.A. and Hollywood. They are just too darn cute!! I just love couple shoots and can't wait for Jamie and Mike's engagement session this week!
