Laguna Beach Engagement Photos | Salt Creek Engagement Photos

Erin and Jason met on what, before the world of social media, would be known as a blind date. It wasn’t totally blind though, because Erin had already spied the handsome fellow on the internet and likewise, Jason had checked her out as well. Once he saw her gorgeous smile in person, he was captivated immediately. They shared a four hour dinner that first date and both left knowing they needed to know more.

Seven years later they know their partnership has developed into a special one, meant to stand the test of time. “Erin has been the backbone that’s allowed me to not lose faith in myself and my abilities,” said Jason. “This reaffirmed my feelings without a shadow of a doubt that she was the woman that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.” #swoon

I was #swooning over a little more than their love that afternoon though. It was a chilly day that had been raining off and on but they wanted to go for it so we braved the weather and got our shots in between a few showers. So fun. We started in Laguna then ended up at Salt Creek, the beach where Jason first told Erin he loved her. The wind was strong and cold, but their awesome energy warmed it up so they could keep their t-shirts and matching kicks on…Jordans of course, Jason’s faves.

So thanks be to the social media powers for uniting this great pair. It really is a wonderful thing. It kept Jason and I in touch since college, so there’s another one for the pro list! Super looking forward to capturing your special day later this year, Erin and Jason. So happy to help tell your story.

Orange County Baby Shower – Event Photography

Olivia’s family threw the most stunning baby shower for her and Neil’s ‘Baby Z,’ as the name goes for now. They are waiting to find out the gender so obviously the name is waiting as well.

It was a stunning ‘winter’ day in SoCal as fragrant florals and sugary vanilla notes wafted through the yard. The sunshine poured down as the ladies gathered to celebrate Olivia and her new baby-to-be. What a way to spend a day working. #ilovemyjob

Congratulations, Olivia and Neil!

street photography steel woolPINME

Through some research last week I discovered steel wool photography and thought I should give it a try. Here’s my first attempt.

I can’t tell you the last time I took my camera out on the street to shoot something fun just for me. I do personal projects here and there, but nothing really where I just walk out into the street with a camera in my hand just to have some fun trying new things.

It felt so good to just get out there and play. Thanks to all of you who have always, even when my fire’s been dull, fanned my flames.

    Carol Burket - Beautiful day, beautiful couple, beautiful pictures.

Today as I peeled an orange at the kitchen sink, I observed a little spider crawling on my succulent in the window. The size of perhaps a kosher salt granule, the tiny guy made his way down the thick leaf and over to the spiny leaf of the next. I continued to eat my orange as I observed his miniature journey.

And as I left him be, I couldn’t help but brood over the scenario. Why do I need to kill him, as I normally would be inclined to do, or put a bowl over his path until my roommate could come eradicate the invasion? Spiders in the house, or any insects for that matter, are never welcome.

He was so tiny though, and instead of causing harm or disruption as I blame most spiders for doing, he was minding his own business and continuing on his way. And it made me think, why don’t we mind our own business and continue on our own paths? Why are we always so worried about what others are doing? If we are focused on our own endeavors and our own journeys, the actions of others become irrelevant.

I guess what I’m trying to say is, this little guy taught me a tiny lesson today. A lesson in attention and focusing it on what’s important. There’s no need to bother myself with the insignificant conduct of others when I have my own glorious path and purpose to attend to. Freeing the mind from extraneous excess is beautiful freedom to have.
