I’ve been looking forward to Chelsea and Sean’s engagement session for a long time. Not just because it was my first engagement session back after having the baby, but also because I knew it would be one of the most unique sessions I’ve ever done. Chelsea and Sean had a specific vision of what they wanted their shoot to be and they totally pulled it off. We shot at the amazing Viceroy Hotel in Santa Monica. That place is heaven for a photographer. So many amazing places to shoot!

Chelsea and Sean are getting married this June at the Montage. Their coordinator is the fabulous Jeannie Savage from Details Details and I’m so excited to see what her and her team will do for this wedding! After seeing how all out they went for their engagement session, I’m sure their wedding is going to be SO amazing! Here’s a slideshow with my favorites from our session! See below for a day in the life of the oh so glamorous Chelsea and Sean!

They started out with a couple of drinks.

Then Chelsea did some cleaning.

Chelsea got a pedi.

They played a game of cards.

And did some dancing.

Wardrobe change number 3.

They had a pillow fight.

Chelsea won.

Her prize was a foot rub.

Then they watched some TV and called it a night.

Thanks Chelsea and Sean for a fabulous shoot! Have a safe trip back home to Seattle and I’ll see you in June!

Since I haven’t been shooting, a little piece of me has been missing. Sure, I take pictures of the baby everyday and that’s fun. But, it usually ends up with Brayden crying and with me covered in pee or spit up. I needed to take pictures of people. Big people. Who take direction and smile because they are happy, not just because they have gas. So when my good friends Kyle and Johanna came into town this weekend I had to shoot their engagement session! No, I’m not technically supposed to be shooting for two more weeks, but I’ve been feeling really well so I decided to give it a try.

Kyle is one of our closest friends. He was Chuck’s roommate senior year of college and one of his best men as well. He met his beautiful fiancee Johanna at Yale while they were both studying to become Physician’s Assistants. I feel like I’ve known Johanna for years. She’s so sweet and thoughtful and makes the best chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever had! I really can’t remember Kyle without Johanna. They are a perfect balance for each other and I’m so glad that Kyle FINALLY proposed to Johanna last summer They live in Arizona now and we don’t get to see them much. Hopefully they can move back to California soon!

Kyle and Johanna are getting married in Ohio this October. I love Ohio so I’m very excited for their wedding. There’s going to be barns and hoe downs and square dancing! So fun! The amazing Jessica Strickland is shooting their wedding so I know they are in good hands. I just get to sit back and enjoy. Although, I’m sure I’ll be bringing my camera along!

Kyle and Johanna, thank you for letting me take your engagement pictures! You know how much we love you guys and we are so excited for you two to start your married life together! Here’s your slideshow!
