I have been wracking my brain for days, trying to come up with the perfect words to say about jenn and elliott. So far, no luck. What strikes me most about these two is how natural they are around each other. You cannot help but be at ease around them. This shoot became a perfect mixture of laughter, smiles and beautiful, quiet moments.
Enjoy!
I simply LOVE this sequence.
I always get nostalgic the week before a big move, but who doesn't? Practically the entire time we lived in San Diego, Drew and I both strongly disliked it (note:: I did not say hate. I'm trying not to make any of my Californian friends angry).
Just not our style, I suppose. The noise, the confusion, the smog, it was all too much to bear. A wonderful learning experience, a good start to our lives together, but never a permanent home.
However, the last week spent in San Diego was a wonderful one. I got to be with friends, took time to say a proper goodbye to Ocean Beach, and allowed myself to look back over all we had been through in the last year and a half.
So, here we are. A mixture of the old and the new, all photos I have taken from OB and the surrounding area. Here's to the noise, the confusion, the smog, the palm trees and the endless summer.
Before we left, we went down to the beach to watch the full lunar eclipse in all of its beauty. Truly worth waking up at 4.45am.
It will be missed, but only in properly measured doses.
Today is Thanksgiving: take one. Take two will begin tomorrow with the epic trip out to Phoenix and the Vanasses, in a truck that up until a few days ago... didn't work. Here's hoping (and praying) we'll get there safely. Today, Jamie is coming down from Escondido, and we are going to cook our little brains out (not literally... ew).
On the menu? Roasted chicken (that's right folks, my oven is so small it won't even fit the smallest turkey we could find), grilled asparagus, sauteed apples, mashed potatoes, homemade cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie!
As this miraculous event has not happened yet, there are no photos. So here's something Christmasy to tide you over.
