Leyna + Mike {An engagement session, Palo alto CA}

After days of rain and clouds, we had a sunny day and got to spend it with Leyna and Mike. After eight years, this couple is tying the knot and we can’t wait to rock their wedding.

Leyna is a self-described “shy” girl, with a perfect laugh that seems to fit perfectly with Mike’s refreshing sense of humor.

Me: It’s a perfect day for a shoot.
Him: Good thing we have one!

ria + brian {an engagement session}

Ria and I (emma) have known each other for over 20 years. We are family in a my “aunt is married to so-and-so…” kinda way. We were flower girls together for my aunt’s wedding, and we sported the itchiest yellow-ruffled dresses imaginable. I can’t wait to rock her and Brian’s wedding!

Alfred, “Brian, are you okay…you look unhappy?”
Brian, “I’m sitting on a sharp rock.”
Alfred, “Dude. Get off the rock.”
Brian, “But I said I’d do anything for the shot.”

These two were so fun to hang out with for the afternoon.

Steph + Josh {engagement session, san jose}

When Steph said we were going to shoot in a barn, all I said was….

i love barns!

I was secretly hoping for cows, and I wasn’t dissapointed.

i love cows!

Steph and Josh were great to hang out with and were such troopers even when they had hay in unsightly places and when we thought the wind might just sweep us away.

Eller + Lisa {an engagement}

They roll up on their boards.

“We’re dorks,” I whisper to him.
“No we’re not. We have to protect our limbs. They are vital to our business,” he assures me.
“But, I still wish I could skateboard.” I finalize.
“I know honey, I know.”

Eller and Lisa are close friends of our niece and studio manager, Belle, so we were so excited to work them.  They have a casual intimacy that we  hope we were able to capture nicely…hushed tones, gentle PDA, and the occasional jujitsu hold.
