Chelsea & Nate – Family Photo Time!

While I was in San Diego for Sarah and Tony’s fabulous wedding I also had the pleasure of taking some family photos for my friend Chelsea and her lovely husband Nate. Chelsea runs a super fabulous blog 88words and also sells some very cool necklaces, so you should check that out (after looking at her super cute family that is!) We only had a few minutes of cooperation from the family as a whole, her older son was feeling quite under the weather and wanted to go lie down, but we did manage to snag a couple of photos with him, and a bunch with the munchkin!

What do you do when little boys don’t want to have their picture taken? Why bribe them with cupcakes of course :)

Letting grandpa have a sniff test before he dives in…

And then of course running off to hide while eating his cupcake. Well at least it was worth a try :)

As long as the kids were all done with their photos for the day we decided to take a few quick shots of just mom and dad…. so sweet :)

Chelsea, Nate & co I hope you had a fantastic vacation in San Diego and enjoy your photos!

Jennifer & Parker Engaged!

Jennifer and Parker are getting married in Chicago so I won’t be lucky enough to be their wedding photographer, but I did have the pleasure of meeting up with them for an afternoon in Santa Monica. They are such a fun couple and they were great sports to put up with the massively windy day we had for their session! Who knew that the Santa Monica pier would re-create the Chicago winds for them? I had a great time with you guys and wish you all the best :) Here are a couple of my favorites from your session!

Thank you Jennifer and Parker for being such good sports and putting up with the freezing wind, you were real troopers and it certainly made my job easier. I hope you have a fabulous wedding in Chicago!
