Newport Beach Engagement Photography: Tania + Ryan | Balboa Island

When I first met with Tania and Ryan several months ago to talk about the possibility of photographing their wedding, they surprised me and said that they had already decided to hire me.  As an artist, it meant so much that my images spoke to them and that they were confident I would create images for them that they would love as well.  Last week, they came down to Newport Beach for a little vacation and decided it would be a great opportunity for their engagement portraits.  I love being able to photograph my brides and grooms before their wedding day so that they would get comfortable with me and the camera.  We had a great time walking around Balboa Island around sunset.  The clouds, the light, the Christmas decorations – everything was just perfect for their session.  I can’t wait for their wedding at the Grand Island Mansion next year.

Ryan certainly didn’t mind cleaning the dirt off of Tania’s dress.

San Francisco Portait Photography | Christmas with My Sister’s Family

Our annual Christmas trip up to northern California this year was much shorter than usual.  After a 4 hour stop on Christmas Day at my wife’s sister’s place in Santa Cruz, we zipped up to my sisters place in the bay area just south of San Francisco for a day before heading right back to Ojai.  My sister welcomed her sixth child this year.  Yes, her sixth.  That’s going to be it for them since they are seriously outnumbered, but there’s something really nice about the sound of all those children in their house.
