This past weekend, after getting the chance to assist Apertura with an AMAZING wedding at the Langham Hotel in Pasadena Saturday, we headed off to Palm Springs for the first time in a looong time!  Needless to say, we came away loving the small little town and it's Mid Century Mod styling throughout.

I decided to go on a visual hunt to capture the palm trees that liter the streets of small town as well as more random stuff that caught my eye...so with the beautiful blue skies...it happened to be one fun little project =)

Oh and, I had to throw in some pics of Haydn of course! =)  Happy Monday everyone!

Powerlines are cool...

Haydn sticking her tongue out is cool...

But Haydn who always tries to grab my camera even with her broken arm wrapped in a cast, is way cooler =)

We headed over to Costa Mesa early Saturday morning to beat the rush and more importantly the heat for the Sheila+Jerry's second shoot.  Ray from Apertura gave us the suggestion to shoot at the Lab so we did and it was awesome.  I've never been there let alone shoot there so everything I saw was eye candy for me and my camera =)

The one on the left is our favorite shot of the day.  The shot on the right was inspired by Apertura...and just in case you were wondering, yes we were in the mens restroom. =)

Sheila and Jerry wanted to do their shoot at the place that had some meaning so Lauren and I hopped in our car and headed down to beautiful San Diego...UCSD to be exact! =) 

On a side note, one of the new features we've added to our Collections is a hair and make up artist for our brides on the day of their Engagement Session.  Because we're not there when that's being done we're always blown away when we see the bride for the first time and this was no exception!  Thanks Mistica for doing such an amazing job!! =)

Almost every time a client has a place in mind where they want to do their Engagement Session, finding places to shoot within that location, getting our shots and coaching our clients through the shoot is still our responsibility.  In this case, we found ourselves in a stair well right next to the building/classroom where they first met. =)  They totally rocked the stairwell!! haha

Thansk Sheila+Jerry for being all about the stair well! =)  We'll see you soon!

Keep an eye out for their wedding set for October!
