I went back to my old stomping grounds in Manhattan Beach to shoot an engagement session with the lovely Tina and Buddy. I say “my old stomping grounds” because this was where I use to work as a nanny and would walk the main beach there all of the time (before I even considered photography as a career). I loved going back there, pleasant memories and the weather was amazing for a portrait session!
Buddy and Tina live justĀ a few blocks from the Manhattan Beach Pier and I was so glad that they chose to have their engagement session there so I could have an excuse to visit one of my favorite beaches in Southern California.

There was a shark on display at the end of the Pier in front of the Aquarium, this was kind of an inside joke for Buddy & Tina!





Here's my favorite shot of the day. One thing that I think is great about this photo is the pink scarf used as a prop which adds another element to the story of this image. I definitely would recommend using props to my future clients.
