Flower engagement session in Humboldt County

Katie contacted me about shooting her July wedding at Rosina Vineyards. She wanted to have her engagement session include some sunflowers to use for wedding decor.  I found the most beautiful aisle of flowers that was the perfect backdrop for their photos!   It was the perfect backdrop for their photos.    Curtis has us […]

Romantic engagement session in the Avenue of the Giants Redwoods

I had done Kristinas senior photos a couple of years ago, so I was stoked when she asked me to do some couples photos for her and her boyfriend. They wanted a location in the Redwoods along the Avenue of the Giants. It was during the early winter so it was a little darker, but […]

Humboldt County Engagement Session/Nick and Larissa/Shelter Cove/

Mai and Chris wanted to have their engagement session take place in the beautiful Redwoods of Humboldt County. We met at the Chimney Tree along the Avenue of the Giants, near Miranda and stopped at a couple of different spots to take some romantic images.This shoot was in February, so it was a very COLD, /WET day in the dark Redwoods, but you wouldnt know it by these photographs. Mai hid it very well! We ended the session in a cozy little  warm spot to get a few brighter images to add variety to their engagement portfolio. Variety is the spice of life right? They were complete naturals in front of the camera. As you can tell, they are so in love and I am so excited to shoot their Ferndale wedding this summer.

Chris & Mai Humboldt County Engagement session in the Redwoods

Dating in Humboldt County can be difficult. Tyler and Jenny were lucky enough to meet on an online dating website and it was a perfect match. I was so excited that Jenny asked me to shoot their engagement session. I have known her for years, but hadn’t met Tyler yet. Many people are shy and awkward at the beginning of a shoot, but Tyler didn’t even notice I was there. It was all about Jenny. He couldn’t keep his hands off of her, and you couldn’t keep the smile off of her face.
