The Quansahs {Family Session}

Meet Philip, Jeena, and Baby Phylicia better known as “The Quansah’s”…..Again!

We tagged along with them for a fun Saturday morning  in the park.  The last time we introduced this family to our SDP friends, Jeena had a belly, and Phylicia was in it!!  Their maternity session was great and so was this family session.

During this shoot, we learned 3 new things about Baby Phylicia:

1) Chewing leaves are a tasty, nutritional snack  2) She loves to swing  3) You can bribe her to do anything with Cheerios!

We have to stock up on more for our next session:)

 

Happy New Year!! {2011 Photo Recap}

This past year has been filled with joy, smiles, and laughter.  We’ve had the opportunity to meet great couples, witness lots of love, and travel to wonderful places!   We usually reserve our blog for “lovey-dovey” photography (weddings, engagements, family, etc),  but we wanted to share a few  of our other photography encounters!

These are some of our favorite images from 2011!

 

Brianna + David {Engagement Session}

 So many obstacles for this shoot, but ohhhhh soooo worth it!!!!  We planned ahead to shoot on a calm beautiful California afternoon………who knew it would only be 3 days after Los Angeles’ biggest wind storm ever!! haha !!  We were a bit nervous about the weather and wasn’t sure what to expect but mother nature smiled down on us, and although a bit chilly, it was a glorious evening!  Brianna’s smile could literally light up the entire room and David pulled out all the “GQ” moves for this shoot!  We hoped to shoot in a New York “vibe-ish” central park, but quickly got escorted out……..how do you get kicked out of a park??? LOL!  Nonetheless, we had a “make it work” moment and captured some lovely shots shared between Brianna and David.  We are sooooo looking forward to their wedding next year!

 






Kelly + Terra = A Wedding!!!

  We had the honor of shooting Kelly and Terra’s heart-warming marriage ceremony!!  The venue defined this couple perfectly…..beautiful and full of wonderful character!  Although it was a bit chilly out, the bright sun warmed all of us and their love warmed one another!

Congrats to the happy couple!:)

Leslie + Charles {Engagement Teasers}

 Since Leslie and Charles are such a cute outdoorsy couple, what better place to do their engagement session other than Big Bear Lake.  We started our mountain journey with a fun day of fishing (still waiting on our Trout Charles..lol ), and then headed back to the cabin to get some cozy shots.  Although the temperature dropped from 73 degrees to a freezing 32 degrees, the love between Leslie and Charles kept them nice and warm.  We are so excited to shoot their wedding next year!!
