location stuffs

Malcolm: Senior

It was a wonderfully overcast day. I had 2 hours in which to get to our shoot location and get done and drop Malcolm off at home before I jetted off to practice for Good Friday. Our location was 20 minutes away, but somehow we made it work. 

Malcolm is an amazing pianist and he wanted to take pictures with a piano (understandably) but as we were shooting around Napa and keeping an eye out we were having a hard time finding any hotels or churches that had one or that weren't having some sort of choir practice. But the last thing we were going to try was the Napa River Inn. We went in and spoke to a very nice Irish man and he said that they didn't have a piano in the hotel, but he got us into the Jazz club next door where they were setting up for their night and let us take some pictures in there. 

Malcolm was very excited. (Ok, so was I) It's amazing where people will let you shoot if you just ask them. ;)

Mark, Terah, and their family

Terah and I go way back. Like WAY WAY WAY back. As in, my dad knew her family when he was a young single Air Force 2nd Lieutenant and would go over to their house when she and her sister were little. And then when he got out of the Air Force and moved from Guam to LA with his own family when it was just him, my mom, and me, we lived with their family for a while. I allegedly ate a roly-poly at their house, though I'm glad to say I don't actually remember this. ;)

Over the years our families stayed in touch, and after my family moved away from LA, we heard the news that Terah and Mark were getting married! Not TOO long after that I moved to LA to go to college, and they had just had their first baby girl. 


That's the first time I got to hold her. :) 
Now a few years later, they have another little girl and a baby boy on the way! This time it was their turn to come up and visit us and we went down to San Francisco to do a shoot.

Love you guys!

(the hilarious thing about this image was that the girls decided that it would be way more fun to hold onto mommy and daddy's legs than play behind me, so I just told Mark and Terah not to worry about what was going on at their feet and just look at each other)
