Kevin’s proposal yesterday to Camille was so sweet and exciting! Their family and friends gathered to celebrate the summer, and the fact that these two got jobs set up for post graduation. And the cherry on top of the celebration was Kevin’s surprise proposal. Kevin and I conspired to make it a complete surprise, and with the help of his mom Jan we snuck me into the house (mostly undetected). I hid on a balcony up above everyone at the party and waited for the big moment to arrive, and it did not disappoint. Camille was so shocked she let out the biggest shout (it may have included some cuss words) and then went straight in for a kiss. 100% a yes!

Yesterday’s session in Carlsbad at the beach with Anthony’s family was so so sweet! When Anthony reached out over a month ago about wanting to plan a surprise proposal session disguised as a family session I was so excited! He said Rhonnel, his girlfriend, had been begging for a family session since their son was born and the fact that he was about to turn one would be a perfect way to do a session at the beach and half way through get down on his knee and propose. She would never expect it. So after lots of planning and scheming, and conversations with Rhonnel about outfits for the family, the day was planned! And it worked perfectly! She was so surprised and her tears of joys even got me going a little.
