The Stewarts Go To California!

Finally getting around to posting our fun, awesome, amazing, adventure to California this past summer!!!  Have we mentioned how much we loved this place?!  Okay, in case you don’t stalk us via the inter webs (or even if you do.. hi Mom!) we will say it again,… WE LOVE CALIFORNIA!!!!  I think it’s safe to say we are crossing the line of obsession!  What can we say, the lovely people we met, the gorgeous views EVERYWHERE, mountains and beaches, beaches and mountains, the overall energy, the AMAZING weather, and did I mention the sunsets.. man on man, those sunsets… I’m sorry to say that this won’t be the last time that you “hear” me going on and on about my love for the West coast.  If anyone out there listening needs a couple of cool photographers, give us a holler and we can be on a plane within the hour! 😉

In case you missed it, check out our Hollywood canyon session, our Santa Monica session, and our boho Malibu bridal portraits!!!  ….And here are some ‘personal’ snaps from our time spent in Cali.. in between our sessions and on our day off, we couldn’t seem to put the camera down.  And no, I didn’t realize how many pictures I took of palm trees until returning home, haha.  Hope you enjoy!

Being a loyal fan to one of my favorite shows, The O.C., as soon as I saw these lifeguard stands I just HAD to use them for some pictures!  I’ve watched too many scenes on that show where they are on lifeguard stands and I have always thought they were so cool.  Super pumped that we got to have a mini photo shoot right before the sun went down on one of these!

Being professional photographers, we are always taking shots of other people and it is harder to get “nice” shots of us together.  …We always have to set up our camera on self timer and run back and forth into frame.  Sometimes we smile for the camera, but most of the time we try to just ‘be in the moment.’  After all, we have learned that those are usually the photos we want to look back on.  Check us out (below)… Saying goodbye to the West coast (our new favorite place), living in the moment, and (of course) practicing our modeling!  LOL
