San Diego Zoo engagement session with Andrew & Jackie

I photographed Andrew and Jackie at San Diego Zoo the day before we had our storms in January, when it rained for 2 weeks straight. I love how the clouds added drama to the images.

It was also the day before the poor Charger’s lost (sorry for the reminder, Kimi!) in the playoffs so the zoo was extra crowded with tourists. But we made do! Though we couldn’t get up close with the animals to create table themes, as Jackie wanted. Each exhibit was just full of people so we wandered around to find some light, instead.

After the session, Andrew said he had to go home and plan for his Sunday School class early the next morning. Jackie had convinced him to teach with her. Isn’t that sweet?

They’ll be getting married in the Bay Area next month, and I can’t wait until their wedding.

Have a great week, everyone!

Katianne & Antony’s wedding album

It’s been a while since I’ve shared an album here. I just received these 12×12 and accompanying 5×5 parent album for Katianne and Antony. And I have yet to blog their wedding! Sometime soon. Consider this a sneak peek. Hehe.

Playing before school starts. Or PE.

(all photos were taken with my iphone. black and white conversions were done with best camera app.)

I’m enjoying blogging with my phone. I think I want to do a series on glimpses of homeschooling. It’s really not all about books. Though I’m sure Keilah wouldn’t mind if it was.

Shannon & Bryan’s Engagement Session | Julian

Ah, what can I say about this two? Maybe I should have Kealoha write this post because she’s *completely* in love with Bryan and Shannon. She makes them drawings regularly, and they indulge her stories. They let me play in their softball team (David’s idea, not mine!) even though I can’t even untie my own shoes! ha! We dig their sense of humor, and they love good food so we enjoy hanging out with them. Our family is blessed to have them in our lives.

Bryan and Shannon actually drove to Julian the week before these photos were taken to scout out some places for the shoot. The colors hadn’t quite changed, yet, but by the time we took these photos, the leaves’ colors have turned into these glorious shades!

Of course, I love this out-of-focus one. I’m weird like that. :P
