Natural Outdoor Engagement Session | Alison + Kelly

This North San Diego County engagement session was at one of my favorite natural locations in Fallbrook! I loved working with this couple here an love how the photos came out! The colors they wore were perfect and it was so easy to photograph these two! I am can’t to work with them on the wedding day. It is going to be an amazing event full of love and fun and I know it will be a fabulous wedding because it is coordinated by Susanne Duffy of Crown Weddings<3 I have been working with Crown Weddings for years and without fail every single wedding we have done together turns out absolutely amazing!!
Here are a few of my favorite images….feel free to pin or leave a comment, we’d love to hear from you!

There’s something magical about the way newborns settle into sleep. Each baby has their own way of curling up or stretching out, and I love capturing those little details that make them them. 💛

The old adage “the days are long, but the years are short” is never more true when applied to family life. ⁣
⁣
This is for the mamas who are always behind the camera. The ones with toddlers on their hips, snack crumbs in their purse, and hearts stretched wider than they ever thought possible.⁣
⁣
You deserve beautiful memories of you and your children. We all know how fast children grow so much each year... I want you to always have a recent photo of your family that you love.💕⁣
⁣
Come as you are—messy, soft, tired, radiant.⁣
I`ll take care of the rest.⁣

Let’s be honest—the family dog always steals the show. 🐶😂⁣
⁣
The kids might give me their best smiles, but this guy? He’s bringing his A-game with the ultimate goofy face. And honestly, we love them just as much for it.⁣
⁣
Because family photos wouldn’t be complete without every member of the family—especially the ones who never say no to a snack. 😉⁣
⁣
Who else has a dog that’s basically their favorite child? (It’s okay, I won’t tell.) 🐾💛
