A beautiful engagement session with Kelly and Alvand. Our session takes you all the way to  Malaga Cove, in Palos Verdes, CA. What a gorgeous setting! Those who know me, know I LOVE the ocean, the beach, the sounds of the waves, that warm sun and cool breeze…it’s paradise to me! So, this session was certainly one that I had been looking forward to for months! 🙂 My most awesome hubby accompanied me and I loved every minute of it. We ate at the cutest little cafe, called Yellow Vase… (you can find my delicious salad post on my IG),  and of course we brought home a few delectable pastries for our girls as a treat! 🙂 Our shoot began on the cliffs, moved onto a row of beautiful white rocks, next, I was up a tree (thank you hubby for the snap shot of me, which can be seen on IG, lol),  we ended our shoot on the sandy shores.  And relaxed together at the best pizza place around…BJ’s Pizza! Yum!! It was indeed such a fun time with Kelly and Alvand! They both were such a joy and Alvand had us laughing the entire time! Of course, a selfie shot had to be included with such a great location, which was captured as well! Fun day for sure!! I am definitely looking forward to their Wedding at the Portofino in July!
