MONDAY! Our favorite day right???? Yeah, probably not so much, but that is why we have Monday blog posts…to try and make the day just a little bit better. Today’s post has a slightly more personal note to it because it contains pictures of us!  We find ourselves documenting others so much that sometimes we forget to take pictures of us, and our life. Also, we thought it was about time you got to see what we look like, so if you ever find yourself in Bankers Hill and you see us, you have to say hi (hugs are welcome too, people tend to like hugging Rico…can’t say I blame them).  No excuses people! You have seen our faces! Just a warning though, for this shoot I wore a lot of makeup (ok friends, pick those jaws up off the floor). Makeup is a RARE occasion for me, and I actually had to read about how to do eye liner (I know, kinda sad right? LOL). I had a great time though embracing my inner stylist, so I’m thinking the makeup might have to stick around. SO ANYWAYS, details of the shoot…Rico and I headed out to the wilderness of San Diego, just the two of us, to play around with our cameras and hopefully get some good pictures for the site. Recently we’ve been inspired by the fabulous catalogs that Anthropolgie puts out, so we wanted give these pictures an “Anthropolgie-esq” feel. Hence the setting, the lighting, the editing, more serious poses, vintage cameras (gotta take some pictures of us with cameras, we are photogs after all!) etc, etc. I will admit, I have a hard time in front of the camera so this was very difficult for me, but just as I tell all our clients, by the end I felt completely comfortable. Alright alright, enough of my talking….you can check out our little endeavor below. I hope you like them! Until next post……

Sigh….I just love Mondays. WEEEELLLL perhaps only when it comes to blog posting. Still, right now, in this moment I’m enjoying Monday. So, how about I just pass some enjoyment your way…consider this my Monday gift to you. You can thank me later (I enjoy brownies, and gift cards to Calument…HEY just thought you should know!). So to the post Rachel! A couple of weeks ago we spent some time doing the engagement session of Blake and Nealey. This couple is near and dear to my heart since Nealey and I go way back. She was my roommate during college (CalPoly WOO HOO!) and has become a close friend over the years. I couldn’t have been happier when I heard about their engagement; he really is the perfect match for her. They wanted to do their engagements at Balboa Park, which is obviously a beautiful place so we happily obliged. Just spent a few hours walking around being all romantic, which always inspires me, so thank you Nealey and Blake for loving each other so much, you make my job easy! Nealey and Blake, seriously, I love you two and I can’t wait for your Lake Tahoe wedding in July! I will probably cry at this one, just a warning.

Beautiful, simply beautiful

Love this picture…so cute!

I’ve just been busting out the blog posts this week!  Yesterday we had an engagement session in Balboa Park with a sweet couple named, Jeremy and Jodi. I’m not going to share their pictures JUST YET, but I wanted to post today so I thought I’d include a few, a teaser if you will. At one point during the shoot they went for a clothing change and Rico and I had some fun just playing around with the camera. So THOSE are the main pictures I’m posting today. What better way to start the weekend than with pictures of Rico breakdancing, because lets be honest, that’s the real reason for this post. So although a random selection, I’m posting because we just really like photos! Enjoy!

ALSO, today we were featured on the wedding blog Rock N Roll Bride, and I think you should ALL head over there RIGHT NOW and check out the lovely Meghan. I’m completely addicted to this blog because, well, she rocks!!  If you’re planning your wedding and are into doing things a bit differently than the norm, this blog is a fantastic resource for you. It’s true,  so go there and leave her some comment love!

And here he is, doing his thing……

Now can you honestly tell me you wouldn’t want this guy at your wedding? With those moves, who wouldn’t???

Jodi and Jeremy, yes, they’re in love. 

more Jodi and Jeremy goodness.

For some reason I really like this building in our neighborhood. I just do!

Oh camera, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways

This was a cute older couple out on their walk together…….so adorable. 

And I’ll leave you with one more “teaser” picture of Jodi and Jeremy! Until Monday my friends!
