I love it when clients travel all the way to Southern California for a shoot in the sun! Krystal + Yegor came all the way from Maine! Krystal + Yegor are engaged as well as expecting! Krystal had her baby just a few short days after their visit to SoCal, glad her and baby are doing well so far!

I shot the first half of this session at the ever-so-amazingly-designed SLS Hotel and then the second half in Santa Monica on the beach. Krystal + Yegor wanted to couple the shoot celebrating their engagement as well as the anticipated coming of their first son. Congratulations to them in both instances, what an exciting time in their lives!

Love, love! Knowing Matt & Angie from their AZ days, and as a parent with similar age kids, my very VERY favorite is the one of them hugging, with their kiddos also hugging at their feet, about 10 shots up from bottom. LOVE!! Such a great shoot - such a great family.
