Chloe + Christian {Engaged}

Hands down some of my favorite people on the planet to photograph! If only if they would give me more than 10 minutes every time we take pictures tho. :))) This is my youngest daughter, Chloe, and her future husband, Christian Sagum. Just a super short engagement session because it was cold, windy, and light was dropping quickly on this 28th day of December. But they obviously kept each other warm and the whole thing was very sweet. These two are having a super quick engagement and the wedding is just around the corner!

I fell in love with you because when I saw you for the first time, it was the only time that I have ever wanted to make someone a permanent part of my life, my world.” ~ David Doyle

Acting head shots for one of my favorites, Taylor Sherry! When we get together, it’s like one big party and her images are haunting. Cannot be more proud of how hard she works and the person she’s becoming. Freaking love!

When editing is as much fun as shooting. Sometimes I don’t understand the concept of showing the client all their unedited photos because how is it possible for them understand the vision in the photographer’s head? The finished photo can go in so many directions. I enjoy this one.
