Engagement Pictures: Whitney + Todd

0

Whitney (my sister-in-law) and her fiance, Todd got engaged in August and this past week I got to shoot their engagement pictures and help throw an engagement party for them! Having shot my sister and her fiance’s engagement pictures in San Francisco a few days before, I felt slightly more prepared for this shoot, although again, I made them get on Pinterest to familiarize themselves with some “couple poses.” However, instead of trying to find shade, like in the last shoot, this time we were literally chasing the sun.

We found this amazing venue…

Engagement Pictures: Katie + Lenny

0

My sister and sister-in-law are both getting married next year and I got the pleasure to shoot both of their engagement pictures (in one week!) This was my first time shooting engagement pictures, or really anyone formally besides Tim, Wyatt and I. Because of this, I made everyone do their research and head to Pinterest to find “couples poses” that they like so we could try some out…I didn’t know what I was doing, let’s be honest!

Luckily my sister, Katie, and her fiance, Lenny, were very easy models to work with and knowing them very well didn’t…

Stomping Grapes in Wine Country

Wine Country is a place that’s very near and dear to our hearts. Living in San Francisco for almost three years, we spent quite a bit of time in Napa, Sonoma, and the surrounding areas. It was a place where we would bring visitors, celebrate special occasions, and spend all day soaking up the California sun. So naturally, when we went back to San Francisco for our first post-move visit, we took a trip up to wine country. A short…

Wyatt’s First Birthday Party

Wyatt’s first birthday was something I started thinking about a few months in advance, I was super excited about it and am crazy about party planning. I love a good theme for a birthday party, and even though this was a kid’s party, I still wanted it to be tasteful. My go-to first move when party planning is Pinterest. As soon as I came across the “Party Animal” theme, I knew it was the one…plus Wyatt’s love of animals didn’t hurt. The party was a success, we ended up having 24 adults and 6 babies in our little apartment. It…

First Birthday Cake Smash

A cake smash is something that I’ve wanted to do with my baby since before I ever had one. It was a lot calmer than I envisioned, Wyatt wasn’t sure at first what he should do with the mound of sugar in front of him, and then once he figured it out, he went to town. There was no throwing or actual smashing of the cake, but there was plenty of smushing and squishing. And then, when he decided he was all done, he just crawled away.

I included way…

What I Packed in My Hospital Bag

I am a compulsive over packer…I usually show up for trips with way too much baggage or a suitcase that is overweight.  I’d rather be over prepared, and I like to have options once I arrive. Unfortunately with a baby my packing has become even worse because now I over pack for both of us. Needless to say, this was definitely the case when we showed up to the hospital ready to give birth with two suitcases in tow like we were going away for a week. I…
