Cardiff-by-the-Sea Maternity Session
Danica

Once you’re a Youngren couple, you’re always a Youngren couple. We photographed Chris and Danica’s wedding back in 2008, and three years later their duo is transforming into a soon-to-be-trio. Danica is one of those girls that exudes glamour, grace, and confident beauty, so when she contacted me for maternity photos, I just couldn’t turn her gorgeous self down. She wanted a session by herself to surprise her husband, and it was such a fun time photographing just this beautiful girl and her perfect belly bump. Danica brought along the perfect outfits for the shoot. I’ve fallen in love with…

Sushi

Last weekend after shooting Chris & Danica’s awesome engagement session (pictures are going to be posted right above this post) we all decided to go out to dinner since we were having such a fun time together. Naturally, I suggested we go get some food at a local brewery or perhaps some Italian food, because that’s how I roll. Somehow, though we ended up going to Sushi at Ra once Danica and Chris found out that I’d only had sushi one other time in my whole live before, and it was a terrible experience! They were totally determined to change…
