A couple weeks back we headed up to Santa Monica to hang out with Kendall and Scott. They came fully prepared with cute outfits and their precious pup! We really enjoy hanging out with our clients. An initial meeting over coffee is great but getting to hang out and really chat about life, other than wedding plans, is also really fun for us. 

I appreciate these two so much because you can tell in their photos that Kendall and Scott are coo-koo for each other. I'm coo-koo for Matt so I love when I see other people go all ga-ga for each other :)

Enjoy...

Blair and Sean were one of our very first weddings the summer we started our business. Their story is special to us and we will never forget their wedding, filled with tons of love and a great dance party! Since then we have become good friends. Blair and Sean were part of our welcome home crew when we brought Charlotte home from the hospital. Blair brought me the most amazing cream cheese pumpkin muffins! I would wake up in the middle of the night to feed Charlotte and those muffins would just stare at me until I gave in and devoured one every night around 3 in the morning. It was a sad day when they ran out :(

We've grown closer over the years and our dinners at El Farolito and after church lunches have become great memories with them. We chatted towards the end of our pregnancy about when it would be their turn. They seemed unsure of "when" but it seemed like immediately they were pregnant and we were thrilled! We chatted about the possibility of birth photos. I was beyond excited to try something new photographically and even more excited that I may get to see a baby come right out of the chute! :)

Well, it didn't go exactly that way but little J Rock found his way out with some assistance and I got to be there when he finally arrived. I won't ever be able to put into words what a precious experience this was for me. The birth of a baby between two people who love each other so much... it was so neat to see. The moment that baby is here everything changes. A moment before it was just Blair and Sean and then, instantly they were transformed into parents, forever. It's a blessing and a miracle and I was humbled to even be close enough to see it, let alone photograph it. 

Blair and Sean we love you. We are so grateful to know you and thank you for including us in the precious moments while your family grows. Jordan has no idea how lucky he is to have you both as parents.

I love our Mathieu Photography clients. They are real and all we ask is that they be genuine with each other and THAT is what translates into beautiful images with emotion oozing out of them. Katie and Chris were SO much fun. We laughed a lot, (let's face it I'm super hilarious) and we really enjoyed spending an afternoon with them at Salt Creek, the same location where Chris popped the question.

Kaylee Sizemore: I absolutely LOVE this location... I am walking distance to Sea Terrace Park (salt creek) and my hubby and I take our pups there often. If you ever want a tour or if you guys are up for a joint photog session, we could meet up there and I could show you some cool spots for photos! Great work, as always :) (07.27.10)

Jen found us while researching her gorgeous wedding location. They chose the Pacific Edge Hotel in Laguna Beach and we couldn't be happier. We had the opportunity to shoot PJ & Kristin's wedding there this last summer and it is such a rad venue. We can't wait to shoot there again! 

Jen and Mike flew out over a weekend from New York for their engagement session. We had so much fun getting to hang out with them and learn more about the adventures they are about to embark on as a couple. Not only are they super sweet they're flippin' HOT! Check it out!
