Lido Isle Engagement Photography – Megan & Max

M&M’s Lido Isle Engagement Photography session was gorgeous. As it turns out, Jennifer went to high school with Megan and they know a lot of the same friends in Newport Beach! Crazy small world 🙂 We had a really fun engagement session at their family’s home in Lido Island and the Back Bay.

We can’t wait to photograph their big day at the Newport Beach Country Club!

From the couple

  • After initially contacting each other on a new dating app, Megan and Max had their first date on Leap Day of 2016 at Sens in San Francisco. After the first bottle of wine, and then the second, they knew it was a match. After Max promised Megan a life of adventure, they have spent their time together; ATVing in Pismo Beach, Antiquing in Detroit, chopping down Christmas trees in DC, boating in Vermont, wedding crashing in Tahoe and rocking out to country concerts in the Bay Area. Her favorite adventure so far was hiking through the Flatirons in Boulder, CO, when Max got down on one knee and asked her to be his bride. They have many more adventures to come this year, including road tripping through the Balkans, exploring Chicago, and getting married with all their favorite people in Megan’s hometown of Newport Beach, CA.

This mama wanted something natural and timeless at the beach, and sunset gave her exactly that.

If you are planning maternity photos, think about sunrise or sunset. Those times of day truly make a difference in how relaxed and beautiful your images feel.

Send me a message to chat about the best timing for your maternity session.

This year’s mini sessions are in the studio on our clean white backdrop. It’s timeless, classic, and the perfect blank canvas to let your family’s personality shine.

Last year we photographed this family, and they brought so much fun energy into their session. Proof that even on a simple backdrop, your joy and connection make the photos unique.

If you’ve been waiting for updated portraits, this is the easiest (and most fun!) way to do it

When it’s 115° by midday, sunrise is your best friend. For this session, we met at sunrise to photograph an 18-year-old heading out on his LDS mission.
• The light is softer and golden…perfect for portraits.
• The heat hasn’t set in yet, so you’re more comfortable.
• And bonus: fewer crowds at popular locations.

If you’re planning a summer session in Arizona, sunrise is the way to go!

When planning twin sessions, I recommend choosing a theme that works for both. Simple and timeless designs photograph beautifully. For these brothers, we created a custom backdrop with balloons and large ONE letters so they could share the stage but still have space to shine individually.

Tip: Jeans or coordinated outfits help tie the look together without making it too matchy matchy.
