Andrea, Dana, and Baby Wiggie!

Posted on May 16, 2012 by drewb

It honestly just seems like yesterday that I was shooting Andrea and Dana’s wedding.  I had just found out I was pregnant with Kennedy.  I hadn’t told anyone yet.  I packed up all my camera gear, smart waters, power bars and hoped that the baby wouldn’t slow me down.  Luckily, the day was perfect (except for a little fog) and I didn’t have a bit of morning sickness!

Now Andrea and Dana are having their own baby.  A boy that is due next month!  Andrea has the perfect little baby bump.  I could barely even see it with her stripped dress.  We shot their session at an estate on a private island in Newport Beach.  No big deal.  I’ve seen the house a lot as we have kayaked or boated around the harbor.  As I was walking on the island I quickly realized that we were shooting at THAT house.  That beautiful house that I’ve daydreamed what it would be like to live their a million times.  Andrea and Dana happen to be friends with the awesome and inviting owner of the home and they thought it would be such a unique location for their shoot.  It was a bit windy and the docks were rocking, but it was perfect!

I can’t wait to meet Baby Wiggie next month!

Baby Juliette

Posted on May 14, 2012 by drewb

One of my favorite couple of all time (I know!  I say that all the time, but I have a lot of favorite couples!) had a baby!  Ki and Andrew welcomed Baby Juliette at the beginning of April.  I was so worried for Ki because she is the tinniest little thing and I couldn’t imagine her with a big ol’ belly!  But, she did great and Juliette arrived right on schedule.

Juliette is a doll.  She’s just stunning.  Although she did pee all over me, but luckily I’m pretty used to that :)  I’d rather it be me than the parents!  There will be plenty of time for them to get peed on :)

Kendra & Alex

Posted on April 30, 2012 by drewb

You know how little boys hit girls that they like?  Well, Alex has a similar strategy with the ladies.  Except he likes to take his dates on dangerous adventures.  I think he may scare his dates into liking him ;)

For Kendra and Alex’s first date they went kyaking in the waters off of La Jolla.  La Jolla is not necessarily the calmest bay I’ve ever seen.

For their second date they went paragliding.  Yes, paragliding.  And Kendra almost died.  Okay, that’s a bit dramatic.  But, she did have a dramatic crash landing with her instructor.

So when it came time to propose Alex couldn’t just get down on one knee.  Instead he took Kendra out kayaking on the Fourth of July in La Jolla to watch fire works.  It was dark and there were sea lions.  Kendra said she went from being scared to excited and then back to being scared again.  Any guy who is brave enough to kayak in the dark with an engagement ring in his pocket is pretty brave in my book!

For their engagement session we decided to revisit a few of their memorable date spots.  I’m so excited for their November wedding.  I’m just hoping it won’t be quite as adventourous as their first couple of dates were :)
