Traveling has been a passion of mine since I got my first passport at 6 months old (no joke!) I sat on my moms lap and made gaga sounds at the photographer. I started traveling alone at age 6 to visit my Aunt in Missouri every Summer. I haven't stopped since. Where I go, my camera follows. I love experiencing new places and capturing each one in my own way.
Katie and Ian are such troopers! The walked all over the train depot, sat in itchy weeds, dodged oncoming trains and avoided crazy men with shot guns! It was an eventful shoot for sure! We headed up to San Juan Capistrano to find some yummy light.
Katie and I met on a local chat board because we were both getting married around the same time. Its been so fun getting to know her over the last year and share our experiences!
Shout out to Megan Tyson (916-267-4868) for the awesome job on Katie’s makeup!
We drove down the road and ended up at this gorgeous field of weeds, among other treasures!
My favorite of the day 🙂 Katie was a good laugher.
Whew that was a monster post! Thanks to Katie and Ian for rocking the shoot and being open to any of my crazy ideas! And thanks also to my lovely assistant Mandi, you are awesome!
XOXO, M
