on a sunny day in venice, CA, a special gathering took place at a magical, little place called big red sun. from the moment we walked through the garden gates, we knew we were in for an epically special event.
the occasion was a baby shower for mom-to-be and former pussycat doll, carmit bachar, and multi-awesome fiancé, kevin whitaker. the vibe was both laid back and high energy, open-armed and 200% groovy, spiritual and organically glam. in other words, it was pretty fantastic.
when it comes to this couple, they are all about the love -- truly, madly, deeply. you could close your eyes and actually see it. (believe us, we tried!) it was clear how much it meant to carmit and kevin to be surrounded, embraced, and blessed by their friends and family on their journey towards parenthood. the joy radiating back to them from everyone could be bottled up and labeled "pure happiness" and it would still be an understatement.
ahh, carmit and kevin...you inspire us all.
we can't wait to meet your +1.

mary jean and mitch's first date took place on hermosa beach and they became engaged on the beach at bacara in santa barbara. therefore, an engagement photo session at zuma beach in malibu fell perfectly into place.
with bicycles, yellow tulips, and sunglasses in tow, mary jean and mitch hit the sand and surf ready to play, laugh a lot, and take some awesome photos. they are such a fantastic and fun-loving couple. we had an amazing time frolicking with them and capturing their spark with our cameras (and we even got a little tan while doing it!).
after the session, mary jean whisked away mr. mitch for a surprise dinner at romantic geoffrey's. lucky guy!
california sunshine, malibu modeling, oceanfront dining, and lots of love -- talk about a perfectly glamorous day.
