I was excited to go to Sarah and Chris’s Engagement shoot as we planned on starting at their brand new house and then move over to the Poe Museum. We lucked out with a gorgeous spring day that wasn’t too hot or cold. I got even more excited when I got to the house and there was still a few piles of boxes by the front door and paint on the stairs. Sarah immediately told me how she thought it would be fun if we could incorporate some of the boxes into the shoot as well as a bit of the chaos (obviously there are no children living in that house because her chaos was mild in comparison to a house filled with two toddlers!). We got the paint swatches in there and Bacon (their lovely pupsters has already been featured once on the blog). Sarah and Chris helped to make this shoot a piece of cake for me by giving me a ton of information in my questionnaire and then even thinking up fun ideas themselves! I am so excited to shoot their wedding in September. Enjoy!

Sarah and Chris: An Engagement Session
The bee’s knees
So that title is not for me or these pictures but very simply how I feel about my lovely little sister who has been my muse since she was born. Seriously, the first black and whites that I ever took were of her when she was three painting on the porch. When she was six, I made her run barefoot in a fairy costume in the woods of Santa Barbara, she helped me build my children’s portfolio when I first started my business 8 years ago, then my teenage portfolio and now she is moving on to the bride side (yes… that makes me want to cry). Thanks for being my muse, Ya! I love you. The best part of you is that you are so many things… intelligent, funny, sarcastic (I like to think I had something to do with that), and so much more. I am so excited to see what the next couple of years bring for you.
I technically should not be posting this shoot as I want to share it with big wide world and not just on my little blog. Now at least my mom can stop calling me every other day to see the pictures 
This shoot had a crew of vendors/lovely friends and family that helped: Lindsay Averette from LK Events and Designs styled the shoot(one day I will tell you all the story of the worms and the slate…it makes me giggle every time I think about it), Josh Henderson from Mango Salon did the fabulous hair and makeup, Pleidales vintage bridal supplied the dresses, Jon Goodrich assisted me, Laura from the Buttercream Bee gave us a cake for the other part of the shoot, and Carolyn Young did the florals.
I am not however posting any more of these until I hear back on them so you will have to wait (mom)! I hope that you all enjoy!
A new beginning
I have a ton of yummy posts to put up but I am working, working, working over here to get everything wrapped up! In the meantime, here is a fun little shot of Bacon who jumped in while his parents were getting ready for their engagement shoot! I finally got the 50 f1.2 lens that I have been lusting after for years and I am head over heels in love.
