Oh Katie, Jill and I just ran across a picture of her when she was acouple months old...on the blanket I made, and man, I can't even believe she has grown up so fast! So beautiful!

George was unsure about the purpose of an engagement session. He's not alone...most guys are like that. Spending the day having your photo taken ranks right up there with going dress or shoe shopping for most guys. Which is to say, they'd rather go to the dentist. Justine and I assured him it would be fun and worthwhile. I think we proved ourselves right. I suggested Santa Monica Pier, and it turns out that's where they had their first date! Perfect! It was my first time there so I was excited to see somewhere new and different. The beach and pier were crowded since it was the day before July 4th, and I loved the energy there. Thanks Justine and George!
Thanks Katie! We had a blast with you and we LOVE our e-pics!

I originally got to know Tina and Mike from a wedding I shot last season. Tina's sister Tracy married another Mike (known in family as Mike C or Mike #1, as opposed to Tina's Mike who is Mike H. or Mike #2) and I got the pleasure of hanging out with their families then. I was especially looking forward to talking to Tina and Tracy's dad. We'd had a great time at the first wedding...he had good advice about raising two girls. And, in his particular case, I'm taking the advice since they turned out so well.
One of my favorite parts of this whole thing was that I actually saw Tina and Mike on their honeymoon in Kauai!! I was walking down the road and they drove by on their way to Ke'e beach! Seriously cool to see them so happy on their honeymoon!
The pictures are beautiful, but then you had good subject matter to work with! Thank you for the kind words. However, Tina's Mike came along first and retains the title of M1. Tracy got married first, and we contemplated re-designation for the fellas, but M2 (Tracy's Mike) thought it best to retain the original M1, M2 order of things. I'm sure he thought M1 would be more likely to get into trouble first... and he's been pretty much correct! Love you, Katie... Dad
(07.14.09)Hi, I know I don't know you guys, but my fiance and I were looking on line and were considering having our ceremony and reception at Point Vicente Interpretive center and we ran across your page in our search. Would you mind emailing me and telling me if you felt this was a good venue? And if it is affordable? Thank you, Brooke
