Keti use to come to this park as a little girl. When she mentioned the beach I thought it would be just your typical sand and waves, but this spot made for the perfect location with some really interesting backdrops and elements to work with. The lovely couple brought their little dog Kiki, who barked and whimpered almost the entire session unless Niksa was holding her. “She is very much a daddy’s girl” Keti said and it is true! She wanted nothing to do with Keti, which I thought was so funny! We actually photographed their wedding last month, and despite the rain (story to come later), we have some amazing images to share, so stay tuned.

This super fun couple wanted to do a hip, urban session in LA. I had some spots in mind, but I arrived early to the session and had time to drive around and look for new spots. I love discovering new places to shoot, in LA you have to be careful about what neighborhoods you drive into, but I found some really cool graffiti walls, and it turned out that was exactly what they wanted! Casey totally turned on the drama for the camera, and she brought out the fun side in Matt too. I could have photographed them all day.

Ok, you’ve just got to love these images. I met Mollie & Jim near their home in Venice Beach, and we walked a few blocks to the beach while we grabbed some photos along the way. I loved this couple’s super kick back approach to life. They were constantly asking passersby to join them for photos, and a few complied (check out the photo of the VB youth that jumped in with them! I love it!!). Jim is a restaurant owner, and Mollie works for a fashion designer. I enjoyed hanging out with them so much that I wanted to put the camera down and just listen. Can’t wait to hang again. I hear Jim has some mean recipes!
