The Sweetest Light

 

I sat working at my desk two days ago, when suddenly the light changed. It startled me in how abrupt it was, so abrupt in fact that I looked out my window and realized I had caught a glimpse of the sweetest most beautiful natural light and conditions I have witnessed in a while. So I grabbed my camera.

My Ben decided to model in the window light for me, and I was only too happy to capture him. He really is a gentle beast.

His “session” went so smoothly, I tried to shoot my Tui…  after her, I put my camera away.

With You By My Side–An Engagement Teaser Story

 

Amid an oasis of green on a perfectly breezy and beautiful day, CR and DL were peacefully nestled among the carefully cultivated bonsai trees, meandering paths and still waters of a hidden oasis in Little Tokyo Downtown Los Angeles. The Japanese Gardens was the perfect setting for their engagement portraits as they scaled, crossed and climbed along the beautiful pathways.

Carpinteria

 

Up the coast we went for a private birthday celebration, and we took a bit of time away to enjoy this cute little ocean front town.

One of the most amazing things I found was that this beautiful place was fairly DRIPPED with oranges. The orange trees were like Joshua trees in the desert, Everywhere and flourishing even unattended. Awesome.

We toured a local artisans home. His place was so inspiring to me and encouraged me to keep going with our place. Over time it will be all I hoped for and maybe more

A pleasant time was had by all. I am looking forward to another trip up that way.
