Kuranaga Wedding

I was a little nervous when my friend Brian Petersen asked me to be the second shooter at a wedding. I mean the moments you capture at a wedding are ones to be treasured for the rest of your life, that's a big job! And I hadn't yet met the Bride and Groom, which also gave me butterflies. Well, turns out there was no need to worry on  either account. I would like to introduce to you, Mr. and Mrs. Kuranaga! Two best friends whose joy and love for one another shines through in whatever they are doing, really you just couldn't get a bad shot of either of them. It was such an honor to be at their wedding and be able to capture these moments. Oh and one side note, one of my favorite "you may now kiss the bride" moments ever! Brian's groomsmen made sure Brian was well prepared for that first husband and wife kiss!

The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills

This past Saturday some wonderful friends introduced us to The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills and changed my life forever as far as cheese goes. This store is beautiful and wouldn't you know it my first time there and I have the amazing honor of having the store Owner, Norbert, teach me and my husband a thing or two about cheese. He was so wonderful to us and allowed us to taste all kinds of yummy cheese so that we could find our favorites. I learned that  basically everyone loves Gouda  and that the longer it ages the harder and more crumbly it gets and that I specifically like cheese made of sheep's milk! It was fabulous. I also discovered that my husband likes every single kind of cheese and that cheddar from my local grocery store tastes nothing like the awesomeness of cheddar from The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills. I really wish I would have gotten the names to all of these fabulous cheeses but I guess that I will just have to go again so that I can figure it out.  

Elizabeth, Dylan and Brody 2

And here are the cuties in color! We had such a fun time exploring this trail, from the great path, to airplanes flying over head to a grassy meadow, every spot was a new little adventure.

Thank you so much friends for letting me capture such wonderful moments with such a great family!

Elizabeth, Dylan and Brody

I was able to spend some precious time with some adorable friends of mine. Miss Elizabeth is a wonderful big sister to her twin brothers Dylan and Brody. We had a fun photo shoot and more color pics will follow this blog but I just loved these black and white close ups. Such a sweet family.
