Hello Hello dear Blog readers! Justin here again, with a VERY important post!!!
I want to wish a VERY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my amazing wife and best friend - AMELIA!
I still remember the first time that I saw her. So unexpected. Time-stopping. Seriously, it was straight out of a movie. Always being the hopeful romantic, I knew that this was it! She was the one! I didn't care that she was with her boyfriend at the time. That didn't matter to me. All I cared about was the instant feeling that overcame me that I already knew her, and had so for a long time. It was like seeing a long lost friend that I had lost touch with! Such a new and exciting feeling. I knew it would only be a matter of time, and a whole different story which I won't go into here, until I eventually might find myself lucky enough to call her mine!!! And that day indeed came!
Amelia, you seriously are the best! I am so proud of you. It brings a joyous tear to my smiling face when I see you lovingly care for, and mother, our children. It makes me happy knowing that I get to spend the rest of my forever with you! You are so talented! I hope your birthday is the greatest ever! Here's to you and all of your wishes and dreams! May they all come true!!
Oh, and this picture of you just makes me so happy!!!! You are my amazing bride, and you do hold the world on your fingertip!!!!! ;)

Last month, while we were in Las Vegas, we had the saaa-weeeet opportunity to photograph the ever so talented Mindy + Ben of Studio 6.23! Mindy emailed me to set up the session a few months prior. When Justin and I met them at WPPI, we had a blast getting to know them as bright, playful, hilarious, photogenic, and super cool people to hang with!

When I officially found out about my beautiful sister in law Jill being pregnant (I had a hunch long before she spilled the beans;) ), I was SO ecstatic! Kenny + Jill are ready to be parents and it's completely adorable to see them both with that "pregnancy glow".
Jill came to me and pitched her + Kenny's idea of their pregnancy shoot and I thought it was PERFECT for them! It involved a duffy boat (thank you Candice Brooke for hooking that up and thank you to Mark for driving us around), the Huntington Harbor, bathing suits, and a paddle board. P.S. only Jill could pull off a bathing suit nearly nine months pregnant and look amazing while doing it (and she worked her little rear end off exercising during the whole pregnancy, so she deserves that compliment)!
Jill is due this Friday...I CAN'T WAIT to meet their little one and actually find out whether it's a boy or a girl, Kenny + Jill decided to be surprised, it's exciting!
Nicole + Jill's baby shower photos are coming up shortly, I had a ton of fun working with family putting on these showers and I would love to show them off, so keep a look out.
arenda said:
oh my - these are spectacular mamma to be photos!!! love your favourite, as well (seriously awesome shot) and all the little looks they're giving each other.

I love their placement in the rule of 3rds. the water draws your eye right to unexpected. a beautiful pregnant couple in the middle of a harbor on a paddle board. ROCKS. Also the 2 verticals: 1. Jill with the vertical on the boat and 2. the next vertical with sun flare on them. Looks like a nautical fashion shoot. Awesome job!!!!

This is Rog and I approve the following comment...left by me: I want to get to know these people. They not only have class and great hair (Kenny's hollywood hair, who should bottle up his techniques and sell them to the world...he kind of owes that to us) , oh wait...I do know these people, and love them all too much as well. Kenny and I have even purchased purple rope together. We're super close. I think my name is close in the running for this child as well, right? Boy or girl?

The color of this engagement session truly brightens my day! Scott + Ashley were rockstars in front of my camera!

Meet my beautiful cousin Heather and her new handsome husband James! Heather + James have known each other ever since they were little tykes! A few years after high school they fell in love, James left to serve a two year church mission in Chile Santiago, Heather waited for him, James came home, proposed, now they get to be married!:) I love their story...it's definitely one of patience and endurance, and displays genuine passion.
Heather + James were married at the LDS Temple in Santa Monica, the details of their day were nothing short of amazing..seriously! I'm going to take a moment (ahem...clear my throat) to brag about my family and how well they can pull together to put on a amazing wedding. Many may already know that I basically grew up in the wedding industry with my grandparents who started a catering company and opened up a gown shop in the 1950's. Now, fifty plus years later, I have uncles and cousins that cater, cousins that are amazing florists, make-up artists, dj's, bakers, photographers, ALL family! You name it, we got it and we do it for the wedding industry!! Anyway, Heather + James' wedding really showed the beauty of family pulling together to make their day a dream come true (plus, James' dad and grandpa can make some killer meatballs)!
Family weddings are always a blast! Click here to see their day in it's entirety with an online slideshow. Happy wedding James + Heather...and welcome to the family James!

Hey, I live in Santiago, Chile! I used to go jogging by the temple all the time when we had an apartment nearby there.
Love this wedding, btw, the colors are SO gorgeous. And of the course, the photography. But, that's a given :)

Amelia!!! I love these images ever so much! And the color palate!!! It's as if they chose their colors to perfectly take advantage of your signature toning :-).
