{Katie+Sam} Engagement Session Part II

I'm supposed to be taking my afternoon nap, but I opted to check my e-mail, then I found myself editing some more of Katie's and Sam's engagement pictures. And the reality is, I couldn't help but go awwww and found myself staring at their pictures. They are SUCH a beaming couple. If you're wondering, I wanted these pictures in B&W..... just because :)

{Katie+Sam} Engagement Session

They're sexy, classy and sweet! Today, I met up Katie and Sam for a quick engagement shoot. Katie and Sam are both beautiful inside and out and are one of thee most laid people I've ever met! They also laugh easily and compliment each other in such a way that they've been together for 9 years! They will be tying the knot next month! Thank goodness for June gloom = soft light, it was sooo simple to capture their pictures beautifully!

This is one of my favorite shot of the day:

You can't tell from the picture, but before they kissed, they looked so cute and content! Also, check out Katie's hawt heels.

They made such good models. I love it when I can pose a couple however and whenever and they make it look so natural.

We found some newspaper/magazine laying around = a little laugh/reading action together.

They're a huge fan of Happy Hour!

One ... Two ... Three .. Blow! Are they not cute together??

{Cousin Amanda & Nina} Graduation Pics

Meet my "fruitty tutty cousins". Cousin Amanda (in blue) is the athletic/sporty one. She was selected as Athlete of the Year and graduated with over 3.5 GPA. Also, she was ranked #5 for highest basketball scorer in OC and was selected to play in the Nike Extravaganza this year.

Now, on to Cousin Nina, the "perfectionist" AKA the smarty pants, who is graduating with a 4.1 GPA and will be attending UCI as a Bio major. I'm soooo proud of them! I'll probably cry at their graduation, but that's just me. LOL.

Woohooo to Class of 2009!

{Linette & David} Engagement Session Part III

I can't believe how well this shoot went, I'm adding a few more of my favorites. Enjoy!

{Linette & David} Engagement Session Part II

They both worked at Shark's Nightclub. She was the waitress and he worked for Limelight. It started 2 years ago with multiple pinches to the "bun-bun" where they met eyes and ever since then, they've been together. They will be tying the knot in August. However, the ceremony/reception will be held in Puerto Vallerta in December. I have to admit, it was so much fun capturing their love. They did whatever I told them to do and made it look so natural. You guys rock!

Here's Linette and David with their dog (i forgot her name , uh-oh :X)

Just the two of them.

I have a ton of kissing photos, but here are some of my favorites:

A shoot is not a shoot without a jumping photo. Wheeeeeeeee!

And here's a photo of gorgeous, Linette:
