Up next, part 2 from Sarah and Tom's engagement session shot at Bear Creek Mountain!  Before we got geared up for playing in the snow, we took some time to get some images in the parking lot of the resort.  I'm so glad we were able to make this winter session work!  With so much snow & rain this winter, and available days at the resort while still open, it was starting to look a little grim.  I can't imagine their session any other way now.  So looking forward to your September wedding!

Every time I meet with a couple and we talk about the engagement session, I always throw out little ideas I have - bowling, rides, snowboarding, etc.. for their session.  I got so excited when Sarah told me that she and Tom wanted to do their engagement session on skis!  Funny enough, we actually had too much snow for their originally scheduled date of the shoot.  The roads were an absolute mess and didn't think we could make it to the Poconos and back.  Luckily, these big winter storms left us with plenty of snow to play with later in the month.  We were able to get a beautiful day and some yummy post shoot waffles at the waffle hut on the mountain.  Nothing is yummier than fresh waffles out in the cool winter air. First up, Sarah and Tom on skis.  Tomorrow - Sarah and Tom in the parking lot.  Yeah, that's right, the parking lot.  It's good stuff, I promise ;)

 

While on my way home from photographing an engagement session in Santa Barbara, I was delayed at the Santa Barbara airport.  With nothing to do, I decided to hang out right in front of the airport.  It's this tiny little building with some grass and a couple trees out front.  So, I plopped myself under a tree and just reveled in the sunshine pouring through the branches.  While daydreaming, I discovered this beautiful little creature, Mazzy climbing above my head!  We hit it off immediately, both lovers of trees and after talking to Mazzy's mom, had a little impromptu photo session!  Hope you enjoy these Mazzy and Leslie!  I'll be back in LA and Santa Barbara for 2 weddings the 1st week of August for anyone who would like any kind of portrait session - engagement, family, kid, newborn, etc...  Please let me know if you are interested in a shoot.
