Tracy and Andy are really smart people...how do I know this?  First off, they both went to Berkeley..but more importantly..they know how to get on my good side!  How you ask?  They got me a sweet little gift..Sprinkles cupcakes!!  What a way to start the session off, right?  I had such a great time with Tracy & Andy at their engagement session!  They stayed at the Pelican Hill Resort in Newport Beach so we were able to shoot their engagement photos there...it was such a beautiful day!  They were nervous and anxious and Tracy was afraid that they didn't "practice" any poses..lol..I reassured her that posing them was my job and all they had to do was smile and look hot...which they did effortlessly :-)  Of course, I must give a special shout-out to Andy's tongue..it has a natural way of making Tracy laugh..just the mere sight of Andy's tongue sticking out would bring a smile to Tracy's face which of course made for some great shots :-)

I cannot wait for Tracy & Andy's wedding in a few months!  These crazy kids know how to have fun which will definitely make for an awesome day :-)

Umm..excuse me..how H-O-T is Tracy??  Oh yeah..Andy..he's aight ;-)  J/K Andy!  You're smokin'!!!

Beautiful light..I love it!

Okay...I adored Tracy's entire ensemble..she has fabulous taste!

Totally cute..I love this one!

Of course, being at Pelican Hill, this shot was a must!

The pool was insane!  It was incredibly hot that day and the three of use contemplated jumping in!

Love this!

Last week, I met up with Stephanie & Edward for their engagement session.  I was SO happy to see them considering the last time I saw them was nearly a year ago when they first booked me!  They are the sweetest and so stylish as well :-)  They scoped out a great location for their engagement session in Venice which I just loved...great job you guys!  I was especially happy when i saw Edward's green Argyle sweater..every time I see the color green it just makes me so happy!  I've been contemplating doing our living room couch in green but Doug does not like the sound of that...hmmm...we'll see :-)

Stephanie & Ed..you're the best!  I cannot wait to see you guys in a couple of months for your wedding!  Thanks again for such great models!

Love this one..Steph looks totally cute!

Love their blue & green ensembles..it matches in a non-matchy way :-)

Love this!

Back light makes Trista very happy :-)

Graffiti makes Trista happy too!

Love the teal backdrop..so striking!

So, as of late, it seems like the only rascals that have been on my blog lately have been my own!  While adorable as they are, I was super excited to know that I was going to be shooting a rascal of the "human" variety :-)  Meet Travis!  He is adorable, has incredible thighs, and is delectable in every way.  Every time a shoot a rascal, I think...Hmmm..maybe I am ready to be a mom?!  Then I come home and Spunki is running around like a mad woman..attacking Mochi, nipping at my toes, pee-ing in her play pen, and barking at me incessantly while I work.  So yeah, no kids for me as of now :-)  Spunki has filled my "baby" tank for a good 10 years or so :-)

Here are some favorites from the Travis' session :-)  Happy weekend everyone!

He is so cute!!

I love this one!

That smile..look at that smile!

This was his first time sitting on grass..

and he didn't like it one bit! :-)
