Jeneva, George and Olivia!!!!!

Jeneva laughed softly as I gave George his cue. She had no idea! George had called me the day before and told me he wanted to surprise her with an engagement ring. Of course I am always up for surprising by clients (in a fun way), so we worked out a cue for him to give her the ring. As I spoke the words, “George loosen up” Jeneva laughed because, up to that point I had been making them lay down turn around and do all sorts of crazy things! Instead George reached into his pocket and pulled a small black box. Jeneva starts panicking and saying, what are you doing!?!?!? It was a classic, sweet moment that I feel honored to have been part of it!

Jeneva and George will be married in January at the Reef in Long Beach. In the meantime they have something fabulous to look forward to! They have been blessed with a baby girl who will be welcomed into this world in a few months. I tried to explore the love and passion between Jeneva and George in this collection, while documenting the anticipation they have for Olivia! I know this is a lot of photos from their collection to post, but I could not cut anymore for you to see, plus there are three people in this shoot, so they get more blog time!

Thanks Jeneva and George for a wonderful afternoon! Congratulations on all the events occurring in your life and I look forward to meeting Olivia really soon!

p.s. check out my shoe shot! That’s for Jeneva’s mom who bought those cute gold shoes for her!!

Random Thought...

It's too hot. If I am going to be in the heat, I would rather be in Maui! Where do you want to be?

Maria & Bruno....

Tears were flooding the room as Bruno remarked to Maria; "You are the person I have been waiting for all my life" So cool... and so apparent that Maria and Bruno are life partners! They seem so at ease with each other and there is a sense about them that they have been together forever. It's true love in its purest form and their first wedding Celebration (the second will be held in Canada later this year!) was a gorgeous celebration of love and life. The ceremony was held at one of my favorite churches, St. Phillip the Apostle Catholic Church in Pasadena. After the ceremony, everyone celebrated at the Ritz Carlton, Pasadena.

Thank you Maria and Bruno for allowing us to be part of your day! Your dedication to your family and each other is inspirational. Thank you for making us part of your family for the day, teaching us how to kiss on each cheek and for being you! Have fun at your wedding celebration in Canada, and good luck in your new life together!
