Rain or Shine: Jessica & Alex are Engaged!

Jessica and Alex asked me to take their engagement photos in Saratoga this past weekend. It rained. It rained all day long. Jessica and Alex were not phased a bit -- they brought their umbrella, wore their closed-toe shoes, and flashed some smiles that brought sunshine to our wet, dreary day in the park. I've never shot in the rain before, so, thanks for that experience. The best part -- we got some great shots that are one-of-a-kind. When was the last time you saw engagement photos in the rain? Big thanks to Jessica and Alex for being such great sports!

Chaump Family, Party of Four

My niece Merritt and nephew Alex are two of my favorite subjects. I've captured their photos from the moment I met them. I was lucky enough to shoot their first family portraits as a  party of FOUR. Alex (7mos) was the perfect subject: he smiled on cue, looked directly at the camera, and held incredibly still. Merritt (2yrs), on the other hand, was a squirmy worm! Getting her to hold still, and look at the camera was super challenging, but super fun. I even snuck in a few shots of Haley & Tom without the kids...sweet shots of an awesome couple.
