Thursday! I don’t really know why, but I certainly love Thursdays! Maybe has something to do with the end of the week and all the coming weekend shoots we have to look forward to, especially this weekend. I thought that today I’d change things up a bit and share with you a maternity shoot we did recently. We don’t do maternity pictures very often, but Emily and Brett are great friends and fellow photogs and we were honored to capture such a beautiful time in their lives. Maternity pictures are so fun and totally different than our normal shoots (don’t normally focus on any growing bellies when shooting weddings and engagements). So it was fun to branch out and practice our maternity shooting muscles and have a blast experimenting with the Faulknors. Seriously, we love you two and can’t wait to meet baby North VERY SOON! Enjoy!

Faulknors are always a good time (even when 9 months pregnant!)

That Brett sure can jump high!

Is it really Monday again? I swear these weeks go by so quickly. I was just thinking about one of our clients the other day and about how their first anniversary is coming up and I was amazed at how quickly time moves by. Ok, I won’t launch into a philosophical discussion on the illusiveness of time because I know you’re all here for some pictures! And boy do I have some good ones to show you today. A couple of weeks ago we had the pleasure of shooting the engagement session of Aimee and Tim. It was the Saturday before the Super Bowl and if any of you live in San Diego, you might remember some pretty dark weather around that time. I was getting a little nervous checking the forecast, but turned out that these two were all in for shooting in the rain, and actually excited about it (which made me jump for joy because rain makes for some pretty sweet pictures). Since, Aimee and Tim live in University Heights and it’s a big part of their relationship, we decided to start the shoot there. After cruising the streets of their neighborhood and spending some time playing Mario Brothers (the original of course!) we headed out to Sunset Cliffs where they decided to drop the umbrellas and go all in (I seriously almost kissed them, but that would just be awkward…self control maintained). OK ok, you get the point, the shoot was fab and this couple is adorable. Aimee and Tim, if I could get away with it I would be knocking on your door to hang out every day (no worries, I’ll settle for gchat)…you’re so great and I can’t wait for your wedding in June. We are going to rock that Thursday Club like no one before, I can promise you that!

oh and PS, if you aren’t following us on twitter you definitely should, because, well, twitter is a good time! Just click on the little twitter bird up above for the links to follow us (Rico and I have separate accounts fyi).

rainy sky = photogasm

Isn’t she adorable? Aimee, you should hang out in the rain more often! It suits you!

Hello there all you three day weekenders!  We kept ourselves busy with several shoots over the weekend, one being the sweet wedding at Paradise Point in San Diego that I shared in the last post. I wanted to start out the week on this fabulous Tuesday with a shoot that we did on Friday. I have for you the lovely Kristen and her trash the dress session. She is a wilderness girl at heart, so we decided to hunt for some snow and we got there just in time! It was a little cold but she was a trooper and rocked it, although not hard to rock it when you’re as hot as her…she was melting the snow for sure (yes yes, I know, I just couldn’t help myself)! Seriously though, it was such a treat to do this shoot with Kristen (one of my dearest friends) and to have a little different setting than we typically see in San Diego (sunny all the time). Alright, I hear some lunch calling my name so I’ll leave you with the pictures….always better than my words anyway! Enjoy my friends!

oh, and also a quick request. One of my couples is having a slight venue emergency. Their venue is canceling on them for their May wedding (and all the other weddings that were booked there) so they have an urgent need to find a replacement venue ASAP. I know you’re all pros out there and if you have any venue recommendations that are a bit off the beaten path in the San Diego area, please post it in the comments. Thanks you so much for your help and we love you all!!!
