“Judith did beyond a fantastic job capturing my engagement.  I cannot recommend her enough to anyone considering hiring an engagement photographer.  You can tell Judith loves her craft and has a passion for photography.  Judith works with kindness, care, and warmth.  My fiance and I were treated with respect and did not feel like a task that had to be completed.  At no point did Judith make us feel like we were in a time crunch or did she watch her clock and allude that she had to dart out as fast as she could.  And the quality of the photos she took was amazing.  The photos Judith captured are ones that my fiance and I will cherish forever.  If you are looking for a photographer, consider your search over, hire Judith!”

Aileen & Chris: A Magical Proposal at Terranea Trail

Aileen and Chris are one of the sweetest couples I’ve had the pleasure of photographing. Their engagement shoot took place along the stunning Terranea Trail in Rancho Palos Verdes, and I had the honor of capturing the big moment when Chris popped the question.

As always with proposals, I started off hidden, quietly following them as they walked along this beautiful trail. The natural surroundings of the trail were incredible—lush vegetation, vibrant colors, and textures everywhere, all leading down to a breathtaking view of the ocean. Chris found the perfect spot to ask the most important question of their lives, and of course, Aileen said yes! It was such a sweet and genuine moment.

After the proposal, we continued walking the trail, taking advantage of the diverse and picturesque backdrops it offered. Aileen and Chris were so full of love and energy; their excitement was contagious! We captured shots with everything from the soft greenery to the dramatic ocean views, making the entire shoot a beautiful blend of fun and romance.

This session was a perfect example of why I love photographing couples in nature—every turn offers something new, and Aileen and Chris made it all the more special with their playful, loving energy.
