Meet our four pet chickens! I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to blog about them, but these are the latest members to our household…and we love them! They live and forage in our backyard and have the funniest, quirkiest personalities. We’ve taught them to fly up to our hand for a little mealworm treat! They’re still young, but we should start getting fresh eggs by November! Talk about free range, happy chickens! If you want to learn more about having a little flock of back yard chickens, My Pet Chicken is an awesome resource. Here are some shots of the ladies now and when they were tiny baby chicks…

The wedding season is still in full swing around here, and we have been so blessed with shooting + traveling so much recently, but I feel I haven’t had too much time to keep up with blogging! There are so many things I still need to post about and many awesome weddings that I can’t wait to share. This week, my little brother is getting married, and I’m so unbelievably excited for him. Isaac and I are in the bridal party, so it’s going to be very interesting being on the other side. I’m going to try my best not to pick up my camera and start documenting everything! Now onto our post…a while back we did a full day mentor session for Nancy, who was just starting out in her photography business. We focused on developing a shooting style, learning how to nail exposure quickly while working in the field and using/harnessing natural light, and what it takes to start a small business. She’s such a sweet and amazing woman, and we had so much fun that day! Jordana + Mike were our awesome model couple for the afternoon! We love these two and can’t believe their wedding at Darlington House in San Diego is just right around the corner!

We love Sandy + Dave! We had so much fun with them on their engagement session, and can’t wait to document their wedding this Saturday! Both Sandy + Dave are photographers themselves, so they were up for hiking in even the thickest grove of stinging nettles to get the shots - thanks again guys for being so awesome + we’ll see you this weekend!

Nayun + Paul have such a sweet love for each other! Here are just a few teaser images from their session…
