Engagement Session | Annette & Joe | Lodi Lake Park Lodi CA

 

 

How cool is this? I have been photographing Annette since 2017. She literally grew up in front of my camera! Her moving to Hawaii is not a factor. We have done a photo shoot every time she came home for a visit! She is definitely one of my “photography muses”. There is now a total of 5 photo shoots between us.

I am honored she chose me to photograph her and Joe’s Engagement Session and Wedding! What a privilege! Our goal is to get Joe caught up. You’ll see in this blog that he is a natural and passed our training!

Coming from the Hawaii, they wanted their shoot to be in a place that can’t be found on the islands. Annette and I have a history of shooting in unusual places like Michael’s (craft store) and a marina dockside gas station. I was not surprised that they were excited to do a shoot in an alley in downtown Lodi.

The depth of their connection was wonderful to see. It is such a blessing to capture the genuine affection between Annette and Joe. They definitely know how to have fun together!

Did I mention they have “model face” mastered too?

Our second location was Lodi Lake Park. The park did not disappoint! The sunset was just glorious that day.

It felt like we had the park to ourselves too!

We ended our shoot with some burgers at Snowhite. Not a bad way to top a great afternoon together!

Congratulations on your Engagement and looking forward to your Wedding! Best wishes Annette and Joe!

Dina @rodijuha08_doky and her family are avid #HarryPotter fans!  So I was not surprised when they asked if a portion of their #FamilySession be Potter themed!  If the University of the Pacific Conservatory of Music stood as Marshall College for Indiana Jones, I then thought the campus would also be a great stand in for #Hogwarts! Check out this #reel to see all the magical fun we had πŸ˜ƒβ

I feel like I won the lottery!  I have 11 people and 3 out of 4 dogs looking at the camera!  Sioxson Family for the win! 😁 ⁠
⁠
It's been a pleasure to work with Jenn @sunandski and her family for the past 2 years/4 shoots 😊 Last Sunday's session was special because all her kids and significant others were in town. We also had 4 fur babies join us.  They set the bar high for large family sessions!⁠

Looking forward to photographing Dina @rodijuha08_doky and her family again!  Tomorrow's session would be their 4th family shoot with me since they moved to California.  We'll be shooting at UOP, one of my favorite locations and we'll get to play with some themed ideas.  SUPER EXCITED!! Hope your weekend plans are as exciting as mine!⁠

Happy National Sons Day Adrian @emperorchong982! ⁠
⁠
Thank you for always humoring me when I tell you that you will be in a photo shoot (even when you don't want to πŸ˜…). You are always ready with a smile when I ask (like here with your Godmother Joy and Ate JD). I thank God for you and how you have enriched your parents' lives. ⁠
⁠
Good luck on race day today at Lodi Lake Park πŸ˜€β
