Dan + Tammy

This last weekend I had the joy of driving up to San Francisco for a change of scenery and to meet this fantabulous couple for a picture-escapade. We had the best of times exploring the aquarium and rainforest (complete with humidity and temperature control!) exhibits at the Academy of Science, hunting down trolley cars, and chasing the light with their two precious pups, Lily and Toro. 

Dan and Tammy are not only beautiful to look at, but wonderful to spend time with. I already can't wait to have more picture time with them come their wedding in June :)

Brad + Daun [San Francisco, CA]

There are not two souls more sweeter or more deserving of happiness than Brad and Daun.

I see a lot of love in this business, but the sparks that ignite in the eyes of the love-struck never get old. And throughout the entirety of Brad and Daun's wedding day, the sparks turned to fireworks and illuminated all of San Francisco with the power of their love. 

You may see their engagement photos by clicking HERE :)

... this next photo of a moment in history was too fantastic not to share. 

Enter : horde of tourists & sweet, oblivious blind woman who heard the clicking of my camera and said with surprise, "oh! you're taking photos right now, aren't you!!?!"

Chase + Kelsey

Ok. I NEVER post this many pictures of one lovebird session. 

But I just could NOT narrow it down any more. 

So you just have to DEAL. 

Anyways... meet Chase and Kelsey. 

Kelsey is my cousin. Chase is her husband. They will be celebrating 3 years of blissful marriage this June (3 weeks before Josiah and I will be celebrating the same milestone!). People ask me if I have siblings, and I tell them about my delightful little brothers... any sisters? no. but YES. Kelsey is the closest thing I have to a sister, maybe even closer than closest. I love her to the moon and back, and am blessed to have her in my life. Oh yeah, and Chase is pretty darn awesome, too. 

Kelsey's birthday was yesterday (March 8th), so last weekend the four of us went up to the city and celebrated with photographs, thai food, and Cold Stone ice cream. It was the loveliest of weekends with two souls I love beyond words. 

Happy birthday, my darling Kelsey. 

Enjoy :)

Kelsey took this picture of Josiah and me. 

Someday, my kids are going to ask me "Mommy, did you and daddy ever NOT goof off in pictures?"

And I will answer, "No, sweetheart. No we did not."
