For every shoot I do, I consciously think about how I can make it true and special to the people (or client) I’m shooting. I’ve know Madison for a few years now as she’s an accomplished photographer herself. When she asked if I would shoot her engagement photos, I knew they would be special as she’s such a wonderful and vibrant soul. Neither one of us wanted the typical posed engagement photos we’ve seen too much of. Madison and Ian went to high school together and so we decided it would be perfect to hike up around the hills of their hometown in East San Diego that had special meaning to them. What a treat it was to spend time with them capturing these moments of this special time in their lives.
