There are times that I leave a shoot and it takes every ounce of energy I have not to shout out loud or silently, but emphatically, fist pump from excitement. This was one of those sessions. Everything about it, from the love shared between Lauren and Dmitriy, to the incredibly winter sun, have me excited to share with the world.

Lauren and Dmitriy are so incredibly wonderful. They are filled with such a huge amount of love for each other and energy for life that simply being near them made me a happier person. And not only were they up for anything, they came to their shoot with incredible ideas of their own.  Those balloons?  Lauren’s idea.  Bringing their deliciously smoosh faced pup?  Also a brilliant Lauren idea.  All around, they were a blast.  And Lauren, you’re incredibly gorgeous, inside and out.

I have a feeling that their wedding will be filled so much genuine emotion that it will be nothing short of amazing.   Plus, they are working with Angela from Lulu Events.  And shes amazing herself.

There were so many incredible photos to choose from, but here are a few of my favorites.

Ack, I’m so incredibly behind with my blogging.  I owe a big, huge, heartfelt thank you to all of my clients who have made my holiday season extra busy, and also extra fun.  I’ve enjoyed every single one of you, and I’m just sorry I can’t get all of your pretty faces on the blog at once!

Speaking of tardy sessions, I think Katie’s session was almost a month ago…

I had so much fun shooting this session. Seriously, it was a blast. Katie initially contacted me to shoot her family along with her brother and his family a few months ago. I just had a feeling that it would be fun. First of all, Katie is hilarious. Her sense of humor clearly shows through when she writes and I couldn’t wait to meet her. Let me just say, she didn’t disappoint! Secondly, we have very similar hair cuts. So, she gets extra points for being so cool and trendy. I just think there are some people you just click with. As an added bonus, I got to meet her family and their little boy W. He was a doll and pretty much the polar opposite of little S. I love watching the family dynamics at work.

Thank you both for dragging your families out to come and spend some time with me.  And I’m sorry it has taken me so long to get your session on the blog!

How hilarious are these pictures. S is a bulldog and she wasn’t going to take any little boys in her space! And while she may be trying to push W out of the frame, she does it with a smile. I still crack up thinking about it.  She’s nothing if not a ham!

There are some people in the world that are sickeningly photogenic. They have no bad angles. They have perfect skin. They really just glow. I myself am not one of these rare, perfect, creatures. My goofy self requires lots of retouching! Lucky for me, Joslyn is almost disgustingly photogenic. I’m pretty sure a bad photo of her has never been taken! See, we’re friends on Facebook. I’ve seen photos of her. I knew she was gorgeous. But I really had no idea.

But really, I should have known that anyone who names their child Grayson is one of the coolest people on the planet. I mean, I did. So, I swear it’s cool.

Our day couldn’t have been more fun. And for all of your East Coasters with you perfect fall colors – I have now found a solution! Grapes. Perfectly fall colored vineyards are the new West Coast solution to seasonal colors. I love it.   (Although, Domain Carneros is gorgeous any time of year!)

Thank you D family for spending a Sunday with me. (And trusting me when I asked you to stand new the stinky wood!) I had a blast!
