As the year winds down to a close I’m naturally reflecting on this year and everything it has brought to my life. This has been an incredible year for me both professionally and personally. It’s amazing to think how much has happened with my business and in my life in the past 11 months and I’m so grateful for everything- it’s all been amazing.

Melissa & David’s engagement session was my last engagement session in 2011 and it couldn’t have been a better session. They are two of the nicest people and I’m so excited to photograph their glamorous wedding next year. They chose the streets of Beverly Hills as their backdrop and I loved what we found in that area! Just goes to show that any location can be made into a great backdrop for photos.

I absolutlely loved Melissa’s dress! The pattern, the colors, the sparkles… so great!

I was so happy that Melissa decided to wear this coral top for the second half of the session- went perfectly with the fall colors in this ivy! Could shoot a whole session just right here.

A definite favorite.

Melissa is a great interior designer and when we saw this pattern we both lit up with excitement. The light was gone by this time, but I still love how we were able to have some fun with it as a background.

I love.

I still have a few shoots to post from 2011 that I’m sure I’ll be posting into the new year. Looking forward to sharing those soon!
