shana & patrick - san diego, ca

Filed under: weddings — melissa @ 4:44 pm

i loved this wedding!  actually, i loved shana and patrick’s one year anniversary and vow renewal. since they didn’t have a wedding when they got married last year, this time they went all out for their friends and family (most of whom came all the way from oklahoma!) every detail was gorgeous (including their son madden, i cannot get enough of that cutie!) and i had the hardest time choosing just a few to share here.  enjoy!

baby fletcher - orange county, ca

Filed under: uncategorized — melissa @ 8:43 pm

you might remember laura & brian from their gorgeous wedding last august.

this morning i got to hang out with them and their new little boy, fletcher david.  three weeks old and already incredibly handsome.  laura and brian told me that he has an affinity for crying but he did little more than fuss in the time i spent with him…he was a perfect model for his first shoot.

jessica & jonathan - san diego, ca

Filed under: engagements, for fun — melissa @ 10:49 am

yesterday (after years of trying…!) i finally got to photograph two of my favorite friends who are recently engaged.  jess and i have known each other for almost 10 years, she was my brother’s roommate in law school and subsequently has become one of my best friends.  we’ve been to all four corners of the USA together (sidenote: we’ve travelled to maine, florida, washington and california for phish shows.)  jess introduced me to papusa, vanilla bean tea and hopefully this year, burning man. we’ve dined in cambridge had an unfortunate incident involving a tuna melt in cambridge, danced to p-funk on new years eve and literally camped out in the mud together.   however, yesterday was probably some of the most fun in recent memory. jess and jon, i love you both. i’m so excited that you are finally betrothed and cannot wait for next september, xoxo.

yesterday i spent the afternoon in LA with the lovely watts family…i love shooting family portraits at home!  aside from everyone feeling comfortable in their own environment it also gives me a chance to see the family’s design aesthetic. cathy and andrew have such great style, and it was so much fun hanging out with them and their delightful kids. a few of my favorites..

Filed under: engagements — melissa @ 11:06 am

i love when the line between engagement session and family portrait blurs.  i had so much fun getting to know these guys and can’t wait to meet their families (coming all the way from oklahoma!) at shana and patrick’s wedding in just a few weeks.
