San Diego Engagement Photos: Alicia + Dan

Alicia and Dan were most definitely meant to be.  They met through an online dating service and finally decided to meet up for lunch one day.  Alicia said that Dan gave her a hug as they greeted each other and she felt differently than she ever had before, and knew that she was going to marry him. Dan fell hard and fast for Alicia as well and they were together every day after that.  Both work in the medical field.  Alicia is a nurse and Dan is a Doctor of Pharmacology.  They live in Tucson, Arizona and are excited to officially start their lives together!  They will be getting married in San Diego next year.  I personally can't wait!

Alicia and Dan came to California for the weekend to get some wedding plans under way.  We scheduled their engagement shoot at Ocean Beach.  Despite the enormous crowds of people and the pot smokers, we were able to get wonderful pictures of the two.  Just seeing their smiles and faces proves how much they adore each other.  Neither a fan of PDA and very uncomfortable in front of a camera, you'd never know.  These two rocked their engagement session and made my job easy.  Such fabulous evening!

Parks Family: Photographer in Rancho Cucamonga

I met the Parks earlier this year when I photographed their daughter, Rachael's wedding in Los Angeles.  That wedding was perfect.  And so was the photo session with this family!  The seven kids are all fabulous! SEVEN!  How do moms and dads with seven children raise kids that turn out so great like these ones!  It amazes me.  Check out their cuteness.  I especially love the kids' photo where they are all laughing together.  So sweet!

Mortensen Family: Rancho Cucamonga Family Pictures

I met Amy and Todd when we bought our first home about two and half years ago.  They were two of the friendliest, most outgoing, make-you-feel-welcome type of couples I have ever met.  I had an immediate liking for them, and that liking has even increased.  Such a great couple and family!  This family loves to have fun.  Despite their crazy busy lives, they are always going on exciting adventures and doing things for other people.  Always with a smile and an invitation to join the fun.  Love these cuties and can't wait to show you their personalities through these photos!  It shows!
