As a seasoned photographer, I understand that an engagement session is more than just a photo shoot. It's an opportunity for us to get to know each other and for you to become comfortable in front of my camera. It's also a chance for you to let your personalities shine and have a blast before the big day. That's why I've put together this guide on preparing for your engagement session, with tips on choosing outfits, selecting locations, and coming up with posing ideas.
&nbsp;
Firstly, let's talk outfits. The rule of thumb here is to wear something that makes you feel great. Choose an outfit that reflects your personal style and compliments your partner's attire. Complementary colors and patterns work well. Be mindful of the location and weather, dress comfortably and appropriately. Accessories can add a fun twist to your look, but remember less is more. You want the focus to remain on you and your connection with your partner.
&nbsp;
Speaking of location, this is where you can get really creative. Do you have a favorite park or caf&eacute;? A place that holds a special meaning for both of you? These make excellent locations for your photo shoot. It could even be your home, which offers a cozy and intimate setting. The goal is to select a location that resonates with your story.
&nbsp;
Now, onto posing. Don't worry, you don't need to be a professional model to have a successful photo session. I'll guide you through it. However, it's always helpful to have a few ideas in mind. Consider poses that reflect your relationship. Laughing, dancing, walking hand-in-hand, or simply sitting together can make for beautiful and natural photos. The point is to be yourselves and enjoy the moment.
&nbsp;
Remember, this photo session is a celebration of your love and commitment, so let's make it fun and memorable. Be open with your photographer about your ideas and expectations. Communication is key to a successful engagement session. Ultimately, these photos will be a lasting reminder of this special time in your lives, so let's work together to make them truly amazing.
&nbsp;
In closing, I encourage you to approach this experience with excitement and confidence. It's a chance to create magic and memories. So, take a deep breath, relax, and let's create some beautiful images together.

Making the Most of Your Engagement Photo Session: A Comprehensive Guide

Family portraits are more than just photos; they are timeless keepsakes that capture the essence of your family at a particular moment in time. Preparing for a family portrait session, however, can feel a bit daunting. But don't worry, I'm here to guide you through it.
&nbsp;
Firstly, let's talk about outfit choices. Remember, these photos are about your family, so your outfits should reflect your family's style and personality. Avoid matching outfits; instead, opt for coordinating colors that complement each other. This gives your photos variety and depth while still maintaining a unified look. Also consider the location of the shoot - choose outfits that suit the setting while still being comfortable.
&nbsp;
Speaking of location, it plays a vital role in setting the mood for your photos. Choose a place where your family feels comfortable and that holds special meaning to you. This could be your home, a favorite park, or even a place where you often go for family outings. Consider the lighting and time of day in your chosen location, as these can greatly impact the final result.
&nbsp;
Posing can feel a bit awkward, especially if you're not used to being in front of the camera. But remember, the aim of a family portrait is to capture your family's unique dynamic and emotion. So, don't stress too much about striking the perfect pose. Instead, interact with your family, laugh, play, and just be yourselves. I'll be there to guide you, suggesting poses that feel natural and capture your family's unique bond.
&nbsp;
Engaging children during the session can be a bit of a challenge. My advice: let them be kids. Allow them to play, to be silly, and to express themselves. Incorporate their favorite toys or games into the shoot to keep them entertained and engaged. Remember, the goal is to capture their genuine smiles and laughter, so keep the atmosphere light and fun.
&nbsp;
Finally, relax and enjoy the experience. Family portrait sessions are a wonderful opportunity to spend quality time together, creating memories while capturing them. Remember, I'm here to help you every step of the way, ensuring that your family portrait session is a success and an enjoyable experience for all.
&nbsp;
In the end, the most important thing is that you feel comfortable and have fun. After all, these photos are a celebration of your family and the love you share. So, let's create some beautiful memories together.

A professional photographer understands the intricacies of lighting, angles, and composition.

Beyond the actual day, professional photographers spend countless hours in post-production, finessing each image. They correct colours, retouch minor blemishes, and add creative touches that elevate the photos from good to great.
&nbsp;
But perhaps the most compelling reason to hire a professional photographer for your wedding is the peace of mind they offer. Knowing that an expert is taking care of capturing your special moments allows you to focus on experiencing and enjoying your special day.

We are both from Los Angeles, Ca born and raised. The funny thing is that we have always been close but we didnt know each other until later in life. We both attended high school in the Los Angeles areas, but were still distant. Throughout the years we indirectly knew the same people, friends, classmates, and some family, just our timing hasn't aligned yet. 


 We finally met some years later in the workforce, at a Photography Company back in 2005. What began as a friendship for 10+ years has blossomed to a romantic relationship for another 10 years, might say 10 may be our number. Lol.  In the beginning it seemed we would just remain good friends because that is what we had a strong connection at first. But the universe had other plans for us both, The Most High knew we were equally yoked and very clear our connection was destined. You know the Butterfly effect of our shared past, has led us to where we are today. Parents of 2 amazing boys, one is 9 and the other is 22. As a family we share a love for travel, God Artistry , photography, meeting new people and experiencing new cultures. Our personal values, morals, beliefs and spiritual walk compliments each other well.
