Kristin and Alex | San Diego Sunset Cliffs Engagement Session

I would like to thank the very gorgeous and kind Kristin and Alex for inviting me to step outside of my comfort zone by flying me to San Diego to photograph their engagement session.

The light, the environment - it was all new to me - and it was a great way to push myself behind the camera. In fact, not only was the e-session a new opportunity, but I had to acclimate to other things, too, like flying Southwest. Um, no assigned seating?! Don't they know how rigid I am and how much I need absolute order? And a party on the plane?! Yeah, I'll just stay here huddled against the window utterly consumed by my book. And can we talk about climbing down a steep cliff to get to the desired location?! Camera gear in tow?! When we wrapped up the session, Kristin didn't have a hair out of place, not a bead of sweat, no balmy skin. She looked just as beautiful as she did from the start. Meanwhile, I was a hot mess.

These two are as lovely as can be. They met on the campus at San Diego State University. Just as Alex thought he had had enough of the area, thought he knew it from front to back and was bored with it, Kristin took him to places he'd never seen. They fell in love, and they'll soon be married in the backyard of a dear family friend up in Healdsburg this fall.

Thank you so much for the fun adventure! xo
