    juliana/sacred heart preprom party

    There were about a zillion (give or take) kids at this preprom party, hosted by my friends Carolyn & Jim. I have to say the kids were all super polite, well mannered and kind. They also looked spectacular! A lot of the kids have been my clients & friends for years, so it was great catching up and seeing them all dressed up. And the backyard was done to the 9s! (if you know the Biv’s, this will not come as a surprise to you at all!). Great work by Daniel on the balloons and decor as always- he’s an artist! I hope they all had a great time at the prom and can’t wait to watch them all flourish in their next adventures!

    emily & mario

    A brand new to me couple that came to me thru Emily’s sister, who’s family I photographed last fall. They are recently engaged and needed some photos for their wedding website and save the dates. Also, they wanted to include their elderly (but still way spunky) dog for a few shots. We had a lovely day for their photos and the best of the flowering trees! Wishing them the best for their upcoming wedding!

    rose & sean get engaged! {in the sideways rain}

    Rain wasn’t stopping love! Corny, but true. It was pretty much monsooning raining out, complete with sideways rain. The end of the dock where the proposal was planned was covered, but that didn’t do much for the wind and rain coming in. Rose’s aunt set it up beautifully but there was no point in lighting the candles and the scattered rose petals really scattered! Like into the water. When the couple arrived, none of the weather mattered anymore as Sean asked Rose to marry him. Of course she said yes right away! We didn’t spend much more time taking pictures because the weather wasn’t getting any better but we were able to catch a few cute ones with umbrellas and kisses. Congratulations to the happy couple!

    lawrence & maddie {get engaged}

    The coordination was it’s usual ninja photographer feat, but so worth it! Lawrence found me thru my photografriend Dawn who wasn’t able to do the shoot herself, so she sent them to me. And I’m so happy she did! They were an awesome couple and can go from fierce to funny in one click of the shutter. Wishing them so many congratulations and much happiness always! Also, please thank Lawrence for his service to our country in the US Army!
