After Erin and I wrapped up her bridal session--and we deftly negotiated La Jolla traffic while Scott unknowingly trailed us in his car--we met up with Scott and rolled right into the engagement session.  Not surprisingly, Erin and Scott were great.  After meandering the streets of La Jolla for a while, we headed to 9-10 for a quick cocktail.  We finished up with some images on the beach.  Enjoy!

This is the beautiful Erin.  She booked me over a year ago for her upcoming wedding in June (I'm jealous of her proactiveness).  She had booked both a bridal shoot and an engagement shoot.  As we all know, life sometimes gets in the way of fun stuff.  So, when it came down to schedule the shoots, Erin, drawing from her greuling days as a U of Michgan water polo player, wanted to tough it out and do both shoots on the same day.  Back to back.  Keep in mind that after a few hours at one of my engagement shoots, most couples are in desparate need of a cocktail and a nap, and not necessarily in that order.

But Erin was a rockstar, a total natural in front of the camera.  The shoot started in downtown La Jolla, and after that we headed up to my new favorite spot by UCSD, broke out the strobe, and created some fun images amongst the trees. 

On Sunday afternoon I met up with Craig, Nicole, Ava and Addison to shoot some new images of their ever-growing family.  The last time I photographed them, Ava was just about 6 months old.  It was so great to see how she's grown into such a little princess.  And Addison is giving her older sister some serious competition in the adorable-kid department.  We first shot some images at the Ferry Landing on Coronado, then we headed down to the beach for some late-afternoon sweetness.
