Wow..I cannot believe it's already here..tomorrow Doug and I will be celebrating our 5 Year Wedding Anniversary!  I cannot believe it..I have been counting down to this day for an entire year and now it's finally here.  There is so much I want to say but I'll keep it short for now...there are things I want to tell Doug personally before I share it on this blog..the day almost feels too sacred for me to spill my heart out in a blog post..ya know?  But don't worry..I will have lots to share since this Sunday, Doug and I will be throwing an anniversary party with our friends and family which of course, I'll tell you all about once the celebration is over!

Oh yeah, on top of celebrating our anniversary, I will also be celebrating my birthday!  I almost always forget that I'm turning a year older since I'm always more excited about celebrating another year being married to Doug.  I'm sure with time I will be even more thankful that I got married to Doug on my birthday..afterall, who wants to remember how old they are after 30 anyways?

I'll have more pictures to share after our party but for now, here is a picture of us taken during our trip to Paris..more on that later and also more pictures from Europe..bear with me..I've been super busy this past month preparing for our anniversary party!

Hope everyone has a fun and safe Memorial Day weekend!

I love doing engagement sessions because it gives me the chance to learn things about my clients that I normally would not get to learn.  For exampe, Allen decided to wear a bow tie for the second half of the session and Beata told me that Allen actually wears a bow tie EVERDAY to work (he is a kindergarten teacher).  Can you believe that?  I love that..and last Halloween, Beata told me that all of his students dressed up as Allen and wore bow ties to school..how cute is that?

I loved seeing Allen & Beata interact with each other..he has a silly sense of humor (to say the least) and Beata brings a great balance to their relationship.  She really is the yin to his yang :-)

Now for some favorites!

The light was gorgeous that day as was Beata :-)

These two are cute :-)

I LOVED Allen's pastel green shirt & pink bow tie..so cute!

Did I mention the light was gorgeous!?

Last week I flew up to San Francisco to not only shoot Stephanie & Terence's engagement session but meet them as well! Stephanie booked me through email so I was really excited to finally get the chance to meet them both.  They are adorable together and Terence is a riot!  Stephanie was a little nervous at the beginning of the shoot although I have no idea why she even was..the camera obviously loves her..as does Terence :-)

It was a gorgeous, sunny, windy day in San Francisco but we made it work!  Here are some of my favorites..have an amazing weekend everyone!

Of course their fur baby had to make an appearance :-)

Love this one..so lush and green!

I do love me some brick :-)

I love the light here..
