SoCal Maternity Session - Winners of our free Easter Giveaway Shoot | Tim + Rachel

This last May (2015), Jake and I had the pleasure of shooting Tim + Rachel's wedding up north near Grass Valley, at the Miner's Foundry. We first met Tim when he was a groomsman in a wedding that we shot. Tim and Rachel are seriously one of the most fun, silly, laid-back yet adventurous couples. We've absolutely loved getting to know them and witness not only their marriage, but these next stages as they're getting ready to be parents!

A week before this Easter, we held a scavenger hunt contest on our website, and the winner (Tim + Rachel) received a free photo shoot! We were so shocked and excited to hear that they were willing to come all the way down just for the shoot! 

We did the entire shoot in Tim's aunt + uncle's beautiful home garden!

Leo Carrillo Engagement | Danni + Jordan

I first met Danni when we went to the same church and really started to get to know her (over some delicious coconut coffee) around mid October of 2015. I'm so thankful for the encouraging time I spent with her then, getting to know her better and having open, honest conversations. I have a terrible memory, but one thing I do remember Danni vividly saying was how she deeply desired to be married. It was only a few months later that Danni had met Jordan, formed a relationship and soon after got engaged. It's awesome how God answers prayers and knows our deepest desires!

Jordan proposed to Danni at the beach, so we thought it was only appropriate to take beach - themed engagement portraits! It was so great to meet Jordan and see just how cute these two are (and Disco, the most adorable pug). We are so excited to shoot their wedding this summer!
