The Yin Family |Descanso Gardens|

Last week, I had the pleasure of documenting The Yin Family at Descanso Gardens in La Canada. Descanso Gardens is such a beautiful place. Perfect for picnics and just lounging around in the grass. I actually shot my first wedding there so it felt nice to be back.

Without further adieu, I introduce you to the beautiful Yin Family: Lan, Carl and little Mason. Such a CUTE name!

Enjoy!



Can you believe Mason is just 6 months old??? He'll be walking around in no time!

And as you all know, photographing babies isn't the easiest of things. But you get such awesome, unexpected moments so I HAD to post a few outtakes we had during the session.

LOL. AWWWWW. I think Mason is cuter when he cries.

L.O.L. I think this is my all time fav family image. It's a tad out of focus but I don't care. It seriously cracks me up.

Debbie + Alex |Engaged|

When I met Debbie + Alex at the South Coast Botanic Garden, one of the first things I said was, "So... Alex... Who are you going to root for? Korea or Argentina?" Alex is from Argentina and Debbie is Korean, so obviously he said Korea. Makes total sense right?! LoL. Just kidding, Alex. :) I'm talking about the World Cup by the way. And yes... Argentina beat Korea. Boo.

I heart Debbie + Alex. You can totally feel the love between these two. They're the sweetest couple ever and am so stoked to be shooting their wedding in July. We started our day at the garden and ended our session with a very very quick stop at the beach.

Enjoy and Happy Hump Day!




The session began with all smiles... no better way than that.

Aren't they sweet? Alex would give Debbie kisses on the cheek and forehead throughout the session. Too cute.
