Back to posting! This was an engagement session I did awhile back for Tamiko and Jason in their hometown of San Mateo. Don't you think it's awesome when your hear of stories of the two kids who grew up together, and then end up being made for each other? It was so great getting to know these two and hearing about how it all came to be. Loved it! And loved this couple!
Ok...so I admit it, I've been a little busy this past year and a half doing non-photography stuff. Not that it's an excuse or anything for not posting. But after a little insistence from my friends, I think I've finally been able to come up out of the basement to get back online. Recently (as far as life goes that is), much of my free time has been devoted to the latest additions to my family. So when I wasn't doing the actual picture-taking thing, I pretty much decided to spend all the rest of my time with the wife and those additions. All that said, I've decided to start one of my new year's resolutions a little early :) And that's to finally resume posting all of the wonderful eSessions, wedding, and family outings I've had the honor to capture since last year! Thanks for being so patient and stay tuned...but in the meantime, here's just two of the reasons i've been away from the computer!
I never thought I would be talking about what makes glasses fashionable, what's the best and worst things about being a twin, and who's the best Star Wars bounty hunter all in the same conversation... but that's pretty much what happened with this family session! Yup, I wouldn't have guessed that these adorable sisters were in fact twins (... of the fraternal kind). It was sooo easy to capture their personalities as all they could do was laugh and do silly poses the entire time i was with them. All i had to do was say "Pose!" and in the blink of an eye, these two would swap places, make funny faces, or just lay out the biggest smiles for the camera! In the end, we had so much fun that I really cant figure out how the conversation of Bobba Fett being the best bounty hunter even came up. Huh?! You say?! ... Yeah... Me too :)
The last time I had photographed this wonderful family, they were still a family of three - and now they've become a family of four! Even though it's been two years, their son still had the same curious personality I remembered during their first session. He spent most of this time wandering through the farms exploring every part of it. Not to be out done, when their baby daughter was let loose, she scooted her self all over the place as well, with no regard to the outfit her mom had picked out for her! At the end of our session, Mom and Dad surprised their daughter with a birthday cake to celebrate her upcoming one year celebration. I only wished they had cut me a slice before she dove into it!
I love it when couples choose to incorporate "the little things" that mean the most to them in their engagement session. In Jason and Trang's case, it was spending time in their local neighborhood park and then in following with their tradition, heading out to the pumpkin patches that were setup for Halloween. So that's exactly what we did for our photo session... breaking out the Jordan's, we started in the park and then just before sunset, we managed to make it out to Half Moon Bay in search of a quiet little space amongst all the families and their quests for the perfect pumpkin. As a bonus during our time together, all of the pumpkins helped shine warm light over the couple even though the field was covered in fog. Gotta love natural reflectors :)
