Mackenzie and Justin were one of my very first “victims” when I decided I wanted to give this whole photography thing a go :) Mackenzie (my cousin) and Justin (her boyfriend) had recently moved to Newport Beach from Michigan and I immediately thought, “Hey! People I know! Who are good-looking!” I was able to coerce them into lending their disgustingly photogenic faces. They asked me recently if I could get pictures of them for the holiday season, and I said yes, of course!
I looooooooove it when my clients pick out new locations and I looooooved shooting at Corona del Mar State Beach! Such a cool beach, with cliffs, sand, and surf. I kept shooting until after the sun went down!
Seriously Mackenzie, if you get any more good-looking I’m going to have to disown you!
Mackenzie and Justin brought along Bitsy, their adorable chihuahua. Now, for some reason I’ve always thought of chihuahuas as yippy, annoying dogs, but Bitsy is as chill as can be!
For some reason, I REALLY wanted to get a jumping photo, and Mackenzie and Justin were game. It’s not my most focused shot ever, but I love it!
As I was saying in my last blog post, I always have to get ONE MORE shot! I totally dig dramatic night lighting, and I saw this cool light right by the restrooms, believe it or not. Love it!

Weren’t you the one who told me that good looks run in my family?! I could say the same for you! You’re just as disgustingly photogenic as your cousin. Too bad you’re ALWAYS behind the camera! LOL! I love the luminosity of your photos! Gorgeous!
Ha! Great use of “luminosity.” :)
