What a great day to shoot at the beach…a little COLD, but great light, and there was even a fun little bamboo hut on the beach that some kid built from all the bamboo that washed ashore in the storms!!

They decided to have their shoot at the pier in San Clamente. It was a pretty cool place!!

We shot it at my favorite location, Balboa Fun Zone!! I love the variety!! This time, I brought my 13 year old daughter, Nadine to start moulding her into the photographer that she wants to be!! Her shots are in here too!! Thanks, Lacie & Matt for letting her practice on you!!

These are hers….

And now mine….

Yaaa!! You guys looked great!! Thanks for letting me torture you for a while!!

I think this is my favorite!!

Now that takes talent!! Not all of can ride and hold hands!!

How YOU doin’?

This could be my new favorite!!

We got a big cheer from the crowd that had gathered on the pier for this trick!!

Sheesh!! Get a room!!!

I think I can actually see steam coming off of them!! They are so hot!!

Thanks so much you two!! It was fun!! Thanks for protecting me from the “angry man”, Ryan!

Gina & Mike met and live in Hermosa Beach, so what better place to do their engagement session, than the Hermosa Pier!? They brought their bikes and boards, ready to have a ball!!

We went to their favorite pizza joint for a slice!!

How cool is this wall!?

Taking a break!!

Kowabunga, dude!!

Mike gives her a quick lesson…

Getting wetter!!

….and they lived happily ever after!!

These two decided to bring along their “Baby”, Monte, along to get a family portrait too!! Gotta love his collar & tie!!

A kiss for daddy!!

I kept making silly noises, and I loved the head tilts Monte kept giving me!! We were all cracking up!!

This is my favorite!!

…Or maybe this is my favorite!!

This one is pretty cool too!!

What is she telling him!?

No splashing!!!

Looks like she forgave him….

How cute is this sand castle!?

This shoot was nice! I was so happy they they brought along their bikes. We were able to get a nice variety of shots with them, plus, they were so cute!

….and then they rode off into the sunset!!

Amy & Justin are getting married soon in Fallbrook. We decided to shoot their engagement at the San Juan Capistrano Train Station, since it reminded them of their days of taking the train to see each other when they lived in L.A. and San Diego. How romantic!! All that time on trains finally paid off!!

–>

Yvonne & tim are getting married at the Long Beach Museum of Art this year. They chose to do their engagement session at the Balboa Fun Zone. These two are so much fun!! We all cracked up the whole time, even though it was pretty cold and windy!!

Tim is acting like he can hardly hold Yvonne up!! Stinker!!

This will probably be Mom’s favorite!!

What do you think he’s saying to her? Hmmmmm…

We had a minute to shoot some of Yvonne while Tim ran to the car.

I think this si my favorite!!

Oh, maybe this is my favorite….I can never decide!!

Thanks guys!! That was so much fun!! I can’t wait for your wedding!!
