The Second part of Lauren and Brandon’s super fun photoshoot. The sun was going down and we had one more spot we really wanted to get to. So we scurried over to the beautiful eucalyptus groves in La Jolla for a little different feel as day turned to night. Erin brought along some great vintage velvet chairs and strung hearts in the trees for a whimsical romantic feel. That girl knows how to set the mood. Thanks Erin for bringing along such great props the shoot wouldn’t have been as great with out your vision.
Lauren and Brandon are the cutest couple, Lauren is a fashion stylist with a degree from FIDM in LA who is currently the fashion stylist for Urban Outfitters here in San Diego. Brandon is her fun boyfriend, we didn’t go into what he did, she said his job was to look good. So we just went with that. When we got together with Lauren she had mentioned that she wanted to flex her styling wings, and we mentioned that we wanted to shoot in the wildflowers while they were still here. So we put our minds together and came up with an idea for a vintage styled date in the wildflowers. Now, with us only having a few of the things we needed to accomplish this, we turned to our dear friend Erin at Erin Hall Events to give us a hand making our vintage dreams a reality. She is amazing with her current and growing stock of wonderful vintage pieces and her go to attitude to make whatever we dont have, we went to work designing the shoot. When we finally narrowed down the ideas we cam up with a few fun elements. A Vintage tandem bicycle, (Which we found out later they were unable to actually ride) A really cool old Polaroid that we would incorporate, a picknick on a blanket with old time sodas and some delicious mini cup cakes from Cups in La Jolla, a homemade kite and a few other amazing embellishments. Once we had all that we locked down the location and went to work on it. Shoot day was amazing and as you can see, we had nothing but fun.
Erin hand made this super cute kite for Lauren and Branden to have fun with. Love it!
There is something magical about sleeping babies, and Mackenzie was no exception. She snuggled in for a nice little nap while we took her 1 month pictures and she even gave us some cute nap time expressions. Babies grow and change so quickly and it’s wonderful to be a part of documenting that growth. We had so much fun and we just can’t wait to take Mackenzie’s next round of photos. grow
There is nothing cuter than a sleeping baby in a hand made hat
Cake pops are everywhere theses days from the drive threw at Starbucks to the wedding day desert table. We are personal fans of the cake pops made by Sarah at Tailored Sweets. The cake inside is moist, her designs are ridiculously fun and the cake pops just taste great. We got a hold of theses lips she made and had a blast with them before taking a little nibble. We hear that mustaches are also in the works for Tailored Sweets and we can’t wait to see them, snap some photos and then eat them. Sarah thanks for bringing these little gems by the studio!
