We loooooove the Cali family. Like, if there was a “big couple, little couple” program, they’d win the award for the coolest in the world. Jeremy and Tricia invite the big M and myself over weekly for Bible study, and we always enjoy good snacks, good convo, and goooood deep laughs while we’re there. Among other things, Jeremy is one of the pastors at Missio Church. They have an absolutely BEAUTIFUL, close, WARM family that we are thankful to be a part of. Jer has even offered us his children as wedding gifts – what a guy.

J + T, we’re so thankful for you two, and are blessed to call you friends. Enjoy!

Morning routine? Nothing like waking up for an 8am shoot on a Saturday. Mmmm.

Mommy getting the kids ready.

Meet: Endless energy, Aidan

Meet: The terminator, Nathan

Meet: Big sister, Sophie

Can’t forget Judge. He keeps it all together.

Coolest backyard tree, EVA!

Can you hear him? “Listen, lady… you stick that camera in my face ONE more time…”

Good MORNING, uncle Chris!

Since they look nothing alike, I thought I’d clarify they’re bro-thers.

Showin’ off the slinky skills.

Beautiful!

Superdad

Sophie being a loving sister. Aidan’s face AFTER the shot – not so loving ;)

XOXO!

It was a year ago. I asked – BEGGED – Alyse and Dylan to model for one of my first couple shoots. Marcus and I knew it was only a matter of time. Alas, the day has come, and our darling friends are blissfully engaged and meant to be married. We were honored to capture the excitement and beauty of this time in their life, and as our friends, we anticipate their union of mind, body, and soul.

The future Mrs. is finishing her last year of college. After that stage is conquered, Alyse is planning to move forward in her own path as a photographer, with Dylan as the loving support he has always been. We wish you two an engagement full of laughter, anticipation, and God’s peace. Enjoy the photos!

My girl doesn’t waste any time!

This was the tree Dylan carved his proposal in.

She said yes ; )

Her smile is only this amazing when he’s by her side.

Dylan trying to be too cool for school.

Loved her necklace. Classic beauty, this girl.

Uh, seriously Alyse? She’s going to make a stunning bride!

They were such good sports. Totally rocked a busted pair of stellar anti-shades.

So serial.

Markypoo’s shot.

Shopping for fiances is the new black.

How adorable are they?!

Ahh, I would have posted a million of their photos if I had time. They look drop dead in ‘em all!

Marcus ROCKED our location choices, and found this cool car mirror. His shot!

I’ll end on an amazing note. A note that will likely get me in trouble…

Love you guys!! XOXO

She may look edible, but alas, is not. Michio and his artist wife, Elena, are the proud, gorgeous parents of baby Mila… who in my opinion gets cuter by the hour. The three are wonderful friends of ours, and photographing them has never been short of our pleasure. We are so thrilled for all they are involved in, and can’t wait to see where they’ll be a few years from now! Love you, guys!

 

Always observing.

Hot mom of the year award goes to…

This is what I’m talking about. Should be edible.

Dare I say… smokin’??

Life’s classic moments, captured. I’d probably look like that too if I pooped myself.

Wasn’t so into it…

Way too independent for this “holding” nonsense!

 XOXO!!
