Engagement: Jessica + Adam (The Ballerina and The Nurse)

Just over two weeks ago I received an inquiry from the contact form on my site. The e-mails go directly to my phone so I always run over to a computer as fast as I can. Yes, I still get that excited.

From the moment I read Jessica's response to the "Where did you find me?" Question I knew she was my type of bride. Aside from being full of smiley faces and exclamations(two things I probably use too frequently in e-mails) she stated that she found me through a "Serendipitous Google search." I thought "I like this gal already!"

I noticed she was in Arizona, Tucson to be exact. I immediately ran to my calendar (which isn't hard cause it's on my computer) and figured out the next time I would be making the jaunt to the good ol' AZ. In a week! Perfect! I let Jessica know that I was going to be able to meet and we decided to start with her and Adams engagement session since Adam is leaving for grad school in just a few short weeks. Everything just seemed to work out so perfectly.

We met up last Saturday in downtown Tucson and ventured out for their e-session. It was a hot day (107 ouch!) but we survived, had a blast, and got some rad photos doing it. I simply cannot wait for their wedding next August at the Hotel Congress in downtown Tucson.

Without further adieu

Engagement: Matt + Jana

I am recovering from an exhausting but amazing weekend. I pushed myself today and got two awesome sessions edited. This is the first of those two.

Matt and Jana are nothing short of incredible. They really listened to all the advice I gave them and their photos turned out beautifully. It was a perfect mix of my photographic style and their artistic and fun personalities. I simply cannot wait for their September 19th wedding at Maravilla Gardens in Camarillo. Did I mention Matt is an awesome artist and musician? You can see some of his work at: www.mattgroller.com

We started their engagement session at Paramount Ranch in Agoura Hills and then headed off to some hiking trails in Thousand Oaks.

this is a big post folks, I just couldn't narrow it down anymore!

Whew! Did you make it through that? Wasn't it awesome?

Senior Session: Parveen

I'd like to introduce you to Parveen officially. She is a high school senior from the Thousand Oaks area and was a lot of fun to shoot with. Earlier this year Parveen actually had other Senior photos taken by a bigger local studio that does a lot of the seniors in the area. They turned out great and she looked lovely in them! She just wanted to get some images that were more her style and not in the studio setting. Nothings wrong with going to a portrait studio if that is the look you are going for. Just know that there are many more options that might fit your needs/style.

On to Parveen!
