Over the course of about a year, my brother, sister and mom all decided to move from the East Coast out to sunny Santa Monica, California. Since Tyler and I got married right around the same time, we couldn’t really afford to take a trip out west for a while. However, we managed to finally make the trip out there this past Christmas and we were so excited! So of course, what’s a photographer to do when she travels? Set up a styled shoot, of course!
My original intention for this photo shoot was for it to be a wedding styled shoot. I had so many amazing ideas bouncing through my head, but let’s be honest- Christmas is a busy time and before I knew it, I was getting on a plane. You know what they say about the best laid plans. Though it didn’t exactly work out as planned, I still got to do a photo shoot with my brother and his girlfriend.
As you can see, Michael and Leah are RIDICULOUSLY photogenic…thanks to Leah. Ha! If you’re thinking my brother looks familiar, you may have seen him on his Dom Mazzetti, BroScience or the newest GNARPM YouTube channels! He’ll also be in a Tyler Perry movie coming out this October! I couldn’t be more proud of all his successes or the life that he has created for himself.
You can’t tell in the pictures, but it was FREEZING that night and super windy, but that beautiful sunset glow makes it seem like the perfect, warm night. I can’t say enough how much I loved that California sunset! The orange highlights in the sky that melt into the mountains just scream California, and did I mention I love it? Of course, my brother’s crazy cool Aston Martin gives it that classic James Bond look. Michael and Leah were such good sports about the freezing weather, and we really had so much fun together. It’s always good to reconnect with friends, family and get to have a little fun with the camera. I’m sure you’ll be seeing these two in more photo shoots in the future!
