You can’t help but smile when you’re around this bunch!
We did Amy & James’ engagement pictures on the beach in the Pacific Palisades. The beach always make for super fresh photos! You got breeze, you got water . . . there is no such thing as a stiff photo on the beach! Or maybe there is. If someone finds one, can you email it to me?
A&J are insanely photogenic. I had a heck of a time culling their photos. They ALL looked amazing.
We did some couple shots and then Amy thought it’d be great to have some pictures with the kids. Blended families are so beautiful! 
Maddie and my dog Sammie. Aren’t they cute together? I came to the shoot straight from a hike at Temescal Canyon so I had her with me. :) Was going to leave her in the car but the kids had fun playing with her. Amy was cracking me up. She kept accidentally calling her “Paul!”
Griffin & Pops.
Splashing water . . . makes for great photos.
Amy is crazy strong! James was like a feather and she could’ve carried him all the way down the beach. Very impressive!
LOVE this. Beauties.
Great little inbetween moment.
Can’t wait for their wedding in Santa Barbara! It’s going to be C-R-A-Z-Y fun.

[...] Amy & James are fun. Their kids are fun too. I fell in love with them earlier this year when I took their engagement pictures! [...]
