RODRIGUEZ FAMILY SESSION | PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY

This family has a very special place in my heart for many, many reasons. I grew up with Michelle, Lauren and Aaron. Our parents hung out all of the time when we were babies until we grew older. I have tons of memories from when we were little. They stuck around through the hard times and were always available to hang out anytime! From swimming at their grandparents, to beach days, to the many sleep overs listening to Savage Garden and their dad scaring the crap out of us through the sliding glass window, to playing on their playset in their backyard, and to watching movies at the theatre. I wish I could go back to the simple days!

It was very special to document a little portion of their life. A beautiful mother's day present and a spontaneous engagement! Very happy to know them!

AMY & EPHRAIM | MALAGA COVE ENGAGEMENT SESSION

Amy & Ephraim are two of the most genuine people I've met. We met when I first entered high school and attended the same church. It's so awesome to see how far they have come! I'm incredibly excited for them and for the rest of the journey that follows!

Amy + Tim | Engagement Session

I got a call from my buddy Colleen last Thursday about a last minute photo inquiry for her friend Amy. Funny thing is I declined because I had to work a full shift the next day. I got a text message from my coworker late that night who kindly insisted that I should do this photo session prior to what she saw on facebook haha. She made that happen by giving me a two hour lunch break that morning! So thank you to miss Colleen and Natalie for making this all work out!

Amy and her fiance Tim just recently got engaged and needed a last minute photographer for their engagement photos.  Tim was only going to be home for one day before he's deployed for another 7 months. These two are clearly very much in love. I'm blessed that I was able to meet and hang out with these guys!

Just a peak into Amy and Tim's session:

Yessi & Travis - Engagement Session - Malaga Cove

This past Sunday I met with my buddy Hans, Yessi and Travis. Hans knew about these guys being recently engaged and wanted to hire me to take their engagement photos. Thats probably one of the best gifts to give somebody. :) We originally planned to take photos the weekend before but had to reschedule due to the crazy rainy weather we were having. I'm so thankful the weather cooperated with us this time haha.

We met up and ventured around Malaga Plaza and ended our session down at Malaga Cove. Yessi and Travis are both extremely sweet and super laid back. I had a great time photographing and hanging out with them! So thank you three for an awesome day.

A couple favorites of mine from our session:
