KIM FAMILY PORTRAITS / SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA

Spent a wonderful morning with my good friends, the Kims, during my stay in San Diego back in August. The previous day at their baby shower, Lisa and Simon revealed to all the guests that they’d be expecting a baby boy. Simon knew the whole time and used a clever science beaker trick to reveal the gender! A huge congratulations to their new bundle of joy, Everett, who is just a few weeks old! I can’t wait to meet him! Thea is going to be the best big sis ever!

AILENE + JOHN / GENOA, NEVADA WEDDING

Great clients make photographing a wedding (or any photo session for that matter) so much easier. I definitely lucked out with Ailene and John since these two are among the most chill people out there. I’m so appreciative of the couple’s willingness to carefully plan the day months ahead since this wedding encompassed multiple locations. As a result, the day pretty much went by without a major hitch!

This wedding also presented me with some new challenges as it was my first to shoot primarily with my film camera. Despite needing a bit more honing of skills on my end, it was a very rewarding learning experience, and I’m dying to shoot more film at weddings in the future! Congrats again, Ailene and John! Glad to call you both my friends and Pokémon Go buddies haha!
