Well, I have something new to share with you on the blog this Monday. Yes indeed, and it’s pretty awesome (even more awesome than this Owl City I’m listening too, which is pretty good considering Owl City usually motivates me to go skipping down the street…..yes, it’s that happy). OK, SO the post. A few weeks ago we did the senior portraits of the lovely Miss Brecka. I have know Brecka since she was born and it was such an honor to shoot her senior portraits after watching her grow up all these years. Such a beautiful woman she’s becoming (just look at the pictures!). She drove all the way to San Diego from Idaho just so we could spend a few hours running around with a couple of cameras, posing in parking lots, the streets of Bankers Hill, and playing in the ocean in her prom dress. Brecka, you’re a beautiful young woman and we had so much fun documenting this moment of your life. May your senior year be one to remember (in a good way of course!). Enjoy the pics!

Oh, and ps. Check out Brecka’s hair, that’s her natural color…fabulous!!!!!!!

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……

Hello internet friends!!! I hope you all enjoyed your weekend and are feeling fresh and ready to face the week. Rico and I had two shoots this last weekend, one family shoot (15 people! So much fun and can’t wait to share) and also a lovely engagement shoot in Pasadena with our new friends Amanda and Paul (stay tuned for that blog post….you won’t want to miss it).  I even found some time on Saturday to hang out by the pool where I managed to get COMPLETELY sunburned. All in an effort to be a little less whiter than snow when I wear my black bridesmaid dress for one of my best friends’ weddings in July (Carleigh, my love for you is evident by the RED covering my back…well worth it for sure!). OK OK, enough about the state of my skin, onward to the fabulous post I have for you today!

A couple of weeks ago we had the opportunity to do a maternity shoot with the lovely Jenni and her beautiful family. She and Jason have a son who is 18 months old (see cuteness below) named Tanner, who, as you’ll see below, was very helpful in pointing out just exactly where his little baby sister was….I’m almost died from cute overload, I’m serious. Jenni, Jason, and Tanner, you were all such a blast to work with and we CANNOT WAIT to spend time with you again in September for your family session!

“Where’s the baby Tanner?”

“I know, I keep forgetting….where’s that baby again Tanner?!!” (so helpful)

Hmmm….Jenni wins this one, sorry Jason.
