First Engagement Session!



Ok so I'm so excited. Photography is just a hobby for now and I'm so excited to continue learning all I can to improve and take better pictures. However, my first real step towards turning this new found love into more than a hobby came recently. A wonderful couple named Jessica and Bruce asked if I would take some engagement pictures. Jessica is a good friend of my cousin Natalia and has the most gorgeous eyes which excited me beyond belief. Bruce was super shy at first and played the whole "I don't know what to do, you'll have to tell me what to do card". By the end of the session he was suggesting poses and really getting into it.

I met with them recently at "The Anti Mall" in Costa Mesa. Its exactly what it sounds like, the opposite of an indoor mall. Its fun and free flowing with tons of artistic decor and fun stores. It even has a store where you can trade in clothes for new ones if you feel like switching up your wordrobe. I took some great shots and I am still sorting through them. I probably over snapped just to make sure I had plenty to work with...

Ill continue to going through them tonight but here are a few...

  2. WOW!!!!! Okay. It won't be long before you'll have to leave out the "hobby" part when you talk about your photography! You are doing so great! I love these photos, and you did great with the contrasting skin tones which is a challenge in lighting. GREAT JOB! Can't wait to see more!
