Dan and Rebecca

They say “The shoemaker’s children never have shoes”. I totally understand this statement. So many times family pictures and projects get put on the back burner when you have paying clients that are waiting for your work. This time though the clock was ticking.

My daughter Rebecca and her fiancé Dan flew in to get some wedding things taken care of. Among other things there was a trip to LA fabric district for material, a marriage license and of course a few beach pictures for this true California Girl. I did have to put their pictures on hold for a week as I left before they did to spend a week in San Diego, but as soon as I got back to my computer last Monday I was fitting these in trying to get them processed.

On Saturday morning as we headed to the Mission Inn to take some pictures and of course the wind was blowing like all get out. Hair and skirts were flying everywhere (see below).

Luckily Dan’s sister Emily is a wonderful photographer and I knew she would taking pictures of them back up in Utah so knowing that they had her taking pictures too, the pressure was off and we just had some fun. (If you would like to see some of Emily’s photos of the couple go to her blog at www.relivingthemoments.blogspot.com you will be so impressed with her work.
This was kind of how the morning went.

They as so cute together and never boring!

Here is just a quick sampling of the day.




OK, so I was spending too much time playing with overlays and textures.


Did I mention how much we love Dan? He is the perfect eternal companion for Rebecca.

Bowers Family = Fun

This family wanted to get a “family” photo before Josefine had to head back to her home in Germany. If you look carefully you might find one or two “family portraits” but mostly you’ll just see how much fun they were. I should have known when they showed up in those bright shirts that they were at the park to play.







Fun times for all!

A busy but wonderful week

Coming off a busy but wonderful week. Lots of fun and lots of pictures to process. These are the two weddings that I had this last weekend. So totally different, but both so wonderful. One very fun and informal and one was the picture perfect embodiment of old Hollywood glamour. Both couples were great but will have different pictures that of course capture and reflect their day.

Also I have my own daughter’s engagement session and a family shoot that had to be done before their “new daughter” a German exchange student who has been living with them for the school year goes home to her family in Germany. Also on these weddings, the first one’s Mother is leaving for England to see family in a week and the second is having an open house out of state in two weeks and both would love to have some of their wedding day photos available to share. Guess I better stop blogging and get busy! Hopefully more posting soon.
