In my own backyard...

I did some scouting today for a maternity session and I fell in love with a little gem in our own backyard. I have lived in Southern California my entire life and this place is no more than 3 or 4 miles from our place and we have NEVER been here. It is GORGEOUS!! I had Riley in the Baby Bjorn, a camera in my hand, a purse over my shoulder and a phone in my pocket. Boy, was I multi-tasking...but it was such a great hour or so.

I like to put scouting sessions on my blog so that when someone says they want a beach or park session, I can direct them to a different sort of setting. We all know someone that has beach or park photos in their home (even I have some!) so we are trying to incorporate a little something extra or different into those requested sessions. For example, we have an engagement session at a beach in a few weeks, but you can bet we'll be stopping by the main street off the beach for some photos with some color and character! Why not have variety and fun in a session?! :)

So for those that request a park session, I'll be directing them to this entry to show them a park-type background, but with a little bit more character. :)





























And if I didn't know that I hadn't already found the perfect setting for a maternity session, this was the "wink" that assured me. ;)
