  I’m not really a beach person.  I don’t like it all that much really.  It’s sandy.  It’s cold.  It’s wet.  I get bored.  It’s never really been my thing.  But shooting on the beach, well, that’s a different story.  Scratch that, shooting at THIS beach, that’s totally different.  This beach is incredible.  The rocks [...]

I always encourage couples to choose engagement session locations that represent them.  Places that they like to go, places that play an important part in their relationship, places where they are comfortable.  I think it makes the shoot more unique, more personal and a lot more fun for me!  It always gives me a bit [...]
