Chris and I aren’t big party people.  Our weeks are so busy that when we finally get some downtime, all we want to do is plop down on the couch and relax.  Whether that means watching a movie or cracking open a bottle of wine and playing a board game, it’s our chance to wind down and spend some “non-work” time together.  (The wine tends to be a backwards step for me when it comes to Scrabble, but that’s beside the point.)  When Lauren and Tony mentioned they wanted some photos of themselves playing board games, a favorite past-time of theirs, we knew we would have a great time with them.  And we did!  We shot their session at a beautiful home in the Malibu hills overlooking the ocean.  And when the sun started to set, we made our way down to El Matador State Beach where Lauren and Tony impressed us by kicking off their shoes and wading into the freezing water.  Now that is dedication!

Chris and I were unpacking our camera gear when we heard it – the slow, steady purr of what could only be a vintage classic came rolling down the street.  Heads turned, eyes bulged, and I’m pretty sure some women fainted… Jenny and Matt had arrived.  Now, I’m not a big car buff, but seeing this beauty in person (not to mention the handsome couple inside) was a real treat.  Needless to say, the shoot was a breeze.  When working with such an awesome couple, it’s easy to just relax, have fun, and enjoy the whole experience.  We couldn’t have asked for more.  (On second thought, we probably should have requested a quick spin around the block!)
