I’ve been on a blogging hiatus due to the fact that April for me means not only the usual things like little league and taxes, but it also is the month of 3 birthdays in the Shaw home. So needless to say, I haven’t had a lot of time to sit down and think of fun and interesting things to post. But last week I did a great engagement session with a couple whose wedding I will be shooting later next month. First I have to say, these are two great people that I felt like I instantly clicked with, which always makes for good photos. I was amazed that after sitting in traffic for over 3 hours, they both showed up with big smiles, laughing and ready to have some fun! Now for the photos…

We started with some fun shots around the Orange Circle. I use this door in a lot of photos, not just because it’s a cool looking door but because it is the doorway to my favorite Mexican Restaurant, Gabbi’s. If you find yourself in the Orange Circle around supper time, I highly recommend it!

Terynn’s smile is extremely contagious. I found myself cracking up through most of this session!
After the urban shots, we headed for the hills and found the last few wildflowers left over from the rains.
The shot above to the left was one of my favorites from the session.



Some may say the silhouette shot with the sunset is cheesy, but I like it! The sky was so pretty and I think it has a real romantic feel to it…even if it does look the cover of a “K-Tel’s Soft Hits of the 70′s” album cover

There’s nothing like that late afternoon golden light to just warm things up so beautifully….


I had a great time hanging out with these two amazing people and I can’t wait for the wedding!
