I wish I had a picture of Kim and I when we were little…. I don’t darn it. Our parents were friends as we were growing up and we spent summers at La Jolla Shores and vacationed in Borrego Springs in the blistering heat and just layed in the pool all day and I think a season or two of baseball behind home plate.
I don’t see them very often and I couldn’t rememeber what her boys’ names were even. But it’s always fun to photograph people who you have some history with. There is just something that you get to see when you are behind the camera concentrating on each person that you just normally wouldn’t if you were to just hang out for two hours. I loved getting to ‘know’ each of her kids and how totally beautiful they all are.
I heard that getting to the shoot was a little rough on everyone (the getting ready part is usually the most stressful part) but you would never know it from my end. Everyone was great and even their youngest who is four made it through over 2 hours of shooting and traversing around the La Jolla Cove area.
So Kim is dying to see some pictures and I didn’t want to disappoint so here is a giant sneak peek for her:) And Kim, don’t hate me for your close up… you look awesome and I loved it too much to not include in my favorites. And the one right below it, one of my fave couple photos. And Luke’s jump… one of the best ever. Rivals my boys and I had to train them how to jump for pictures so they looked rad;) Ok… pictures!
