Love that little things like a sweet headband & bouquet of sunflowers can add so much to the feel of a shoot. As sometimes happens, I unfortunately wasn’t available on Emily & Evans’ wedding date, but was so happy to still be able to work with them for their engagement shoot! I really adore sessions that have a soft & pretty vibe like this one :) We frolicked around Griffith Park before ending up at the observatory… I never get tired of shooting there!

So loved running around Abbot Kinney with these two! I always hope to capture this type of open natural laughter during sessions – Meghan & Lee were cracking up the entire time, without me even having to throw in my usual {oh-so-hilarious} jokes. They were troopers even when the weather started doing this weird misty/sprinkly thing, and didn’t let that dampen their moods or halt the session. And as always, I loved all the colorful little nooks we found around the neighborhood!

Engagement sessions at home will never cease to steal my heart. This coziness, this relaxation, this warmth – it’s something I strive to capture at every session, and with an intimate backdrop like a home, these qualities just seem to come out so easily & naturally.

Candice & James recently purchased their first home together, a little 1920s style house with the loveliest little backyard. Hardwood floors, vintage windows, a breakfast nook, lemon trees, ivy creeping against walls – it all comes together to form a canvas against which so many wonderful memories will be made! I fell in love with this amazing couple & their beautiful new space :)
