Heather and Michael are from Atlanta, GA but were staying in Santa Monica for 3 weeks for Michael's work. They wanted to do a photo session so that they could have photos in their house that weren't just from their wedding. For our shoot, it was another beautiful (but busy!) day at Santa Monica Pier. I don't know what it is, but I just love the contrast of a beautiful portrait against the hustle and bustle of the pier. Heather is drop dead gorgeous and I simply loved their outfits, they were the perfect colors for a fun beach pier session. Since I had just done an engagement session at Santa Monica Pier the month before, I wanted to make sure that I got a good variety and was able to change things up a bit. I think I accomplished that while still maintaining the same feel. Hopefully? Right? Maybe?

If you don't live in Southern California, yes, go ahead and be jealous....it really is this warm and beautiful here almost all the time ;)
