February Lifestyle Shoots

Fashion! Engagements! Elopements, oh my!

February bestowed upon me a beautiful afternoon of photography. While the rain was certainly a hinderance at the beginning, the skies cleared way just in time for an absolutely gorgeous sunset. Check it out!

What a beautiful day of photography! The weather was less-than-compliant for the majority of the day (rain! Cameras do not like rain)... But it cleared out by the end and gave us a perfect sunset.

Stephanie + Alec (and Matt and I!) - Downtown Pasadena, CA

Back on a drizzly day in February, the clouds decided to part ways just long enough for my friends and I to have a photoshoot afternoon! Stephanie took engagement/lifestyle photos of my boyfriend and I, and I reciprocated with her and hers! Despite the rain and the cold (naturally, the weekends before and after were warm and sunny, ha!), we still had a great time playing around and practicing <3 Check it out!

Got to have a nice little photoshoot day with these two! We almost got rained out... And kind of got rained on... And I kind of had too much caffeine and didn't feel the greatest that day and was super shaky... BUT! We still had fun and I got a little bit of good footy. It's all in good fun and practice to get out there!

ELISA + PETER || Holiday Engagement Session

These cuties!!! They kept my belly well-fed with great food and lots of laughs, too :)

So basically with these two, no matter what you're up to, you're hanging out and laughing. I had to include some of the goofy points of my at-home adventure with these darlings and their kitties. Anyway, this here's a celebration of them, their engagement, and the holidays while we're at it. At this point it's almost xmas in July... Ha! Song: Loud by Coucheron

Ok, maybe like ONE more month of the Fall/Winter playlist before I can retire it and bust out the Spring one. :) I've been using it a lot, so make sure you really dive in there. Shuffle. Have a blast. hahah

So we got the date started with some fur baby time. Poor kitties were still on tranqs from their travels, so they were a little soggy... But that's ok! We still love them anyway.
