I’m super excited to announce my very first boudoir marathon set for next month, Sunday, June 6th!  I will be teaming up with Beki Dawn Photography – yes, two photographers at the shoot!  Please inquire for a complete pricing list and to reserve your spot today!  Spaces are extremely limited.

Mr A has decided he likes his role as International Mystery Man too much and wanted to stay anonymous on my blog….ooh so mysterious…

Instead you get to stare at the beautiful face of my best friend, Ann Marie!  The whole point of going to DC in March was to visit during the cherry blossom blooms!  So of course I wanted to take some portraits of a gorgeous couple!  Hope you enjoy these few teasers I can show you!

Love you two! Thanks for your hospitality!!

I thought today would be the most fitting day to post these two lovebirds’ maternity session.  It has been exactly one year today since their fantastic Vegas wedding!  I can say over and over again how much I adore these two.  I love when clients become friends!  Janice makes me laugh so much and Andrew is so kind and interesting, how could you not want to be friends with these two?  I would bet money their son will be making an appearance on this blog in the near future 😉

Love you both (oops I mean, love you three!)

Still playing catch up with my blog…about a month behind 😉

Last month I took a trip to Washington DC, my birth place!  I have zero memories of my hometown since we moved to San Diego when I was 5, but I have been back a few times since.  This was my first time as an adult though!  My best friend, Ann Marie moved to Maryland six months ago so I took the opportunity (and free board!) to spend some time with her and see the East Coast for a few days!  I planned my trip around the Cherry Blossom Festival held every Spring.  In the weeks leading up to my trip it looked like I was going to just miss the cherry blossom trees blooming. They decided to start blooming the week I got there, thanks goodness!  What a beautiful sight!

Since I was pretty much on vacation, I only took my camera out twice, so there aren’t a ton of photos!  But I hope you enjoy the ones I did take!

Meet Ann Marie. This girl makes me laugh like no other. This photo fills my heart.

We spent a day in Baltimore as well!  I went here on an 8th grade trip but don’t remember much of it!

I really wanted to see Edgar Allen Poe’s gravesite, thankfully it was open on a Sunday!  It was super eerie and overcast when we got there…perfect cemetery weather!  As soon as we got back in the car it started pouring rain!

I want to plan a yearly trip to the East Coast to get my Ann Marie fix!  So if there is anyone out there interested in booking a wedding or portrait session with me near the DC area, please let me know and I can inform you of my future travel plans!

What’s better than getting engaged on a Friday and having your engagement session the following day?  I’m so happy Ami and Aalap were up for it!  We shot around their hotel in downtown and then headed over to Coronado to grab some quintessential San Diego shots!

Oh and in case you missed their engagement…it’s just below this post!

I love this shot!

*Meow*

My favorite view and my favorite image <3

I have to tell you, Aalap was worried that they would be shy in front of the camera.  That is the furthest from the truth!  They totally rocked it! I had so much fun getting to know them, learning about Indian weddings and reliving the proposal the night before!
