Brandon contacted us a few weeks back to take some pictures of him and his soon to be wife Amy. Gia and I were all too happy to oblige! But where to shoot? Location-wise, all of us wanted to shoot at the beach, but since school let out many of the beaches have been super crowded and we were hoping for a bit of solitude. Fortunately Sunset Cliffs has been flying under the radar and staying relatively empty! So we arranged to meet late afternoon to get some pictures done. Unfortunately, due to a busy schedule Brandon and Amy called us to push it to late late afternoon. By the time we started shooting the sun was already low in the sky and dropping rapidly. Rather than hide or reschedule I was happy to have a challenge and met this one head on!
All of these shots are artificially lit! I had so much fun meeting this challenge and hanging out with Brandon and Amy! Great success!
Enjoy!
They even brought their lovely pooch, Micah, with them and he taught us a valuable lesson. If you're going to work with animals... bring TREATS! We felt silly for not thinking of it earlier! But in the end, with a little coaxing, and some petting Micah agreed to stop exploring Sunset Cliffs long enough to be in a few family pictures!

Nice job, I really like the clouds in the background on the last picture.
Thanks Timothy! That crazy sky is a by-product of "overpowering" the sun. I really like it too, I just hope it isn't too dramatic. I'd hate to have a happy family in front of an ominous sky!
