Katherine + Don :: Laguna Beach Engagement

While we were throwing around engagement shoot ideas, one of Katherine + Don’s top picks was Laguna Beach. And when Katherine mentioned that they love to go camping, a “camping on the beach” seems like a no brainer! Come on, isn’t this just the most relaxing & romantic thing ever? Grab your marshmallow stick and jump into the teepee with us! 😉 While we’re at it, Don, why don’t you serenade us with that guitar of yours!?! 😉

Fall Photoshoot :: Orange County Portrait Photographer

With the changing of the seasons, Kara wanted to do a casual fall-inspired photoshoot. But living in Socal, this is pretty much as good as it gets, especially with the mild weather this year. Yellow leaves and fall breezes, where art thou? I’m a summer girl through and through but lately I’ve been wishing for a drastic dip in the temperature so I can pull out gloves, scarves, and 303853511 coats that I have. I want bundling and cuddling weather already! 😉 Hope you enjoy these photos and oh hey, isn’t Kara so pretty? 😉

Summer in Santa Barbara

699A9476
Isn’t it strange that UCSB is dubbed as the “party school,” yet once I stepped into Santa Barbara, all I feel and see are tranquility and a relaxed lifestyle that one envies. I must have very eclectic taste because I love the hustle and bustle of big cities like New York and San Francisco as much as the small town feel of Santa Barbara and beyond. That just means I have the whole world at my feet and there’s more to explore right? 😉

We saw many cute ponies and goats everywhere and couldn’t help but stop to pet and watch them play.

I remember my sister telling me about a u pick berries around Solvang so I pulled out my trusty Yelp app to look for the closest location. Morrell Nut & Berry Farm was only a few miles from where we were so we rolled up our sleeves and lived the farm life for a few hours. Ok well not really, we basically roamed around the farm and picked a couple boxes of raspberries and blackberries but it was fun! Not to mention that the blackberries were so delicious, wish I picked more than just one box!
