The Ellingsons

I got to know Gatsby through Czarina’s Instagram. About a year ago, Czarina and her new husband Brad (I shot their wedding last year) got the cutest little Corgi puppy named Gatsby. I followed along through their pictorial journey as they trained their puppy, and discovered personality in the little guy. I fell in love with his little face and big ears… and when Czarina asked me to do some “new family” photos for them, I said HECK YES! I met the three of them in San Juan Capistrano and we enjoyed the late afternoon warmth as we walked around and shot in the Los Rios Historic district. I’m in love with the way these photos turned out…. and I think you will be too! Here are my favs… and just to enhance your viewing experience, here are some fun facts about Gatsby:

1. He’s extraordinarily cute (self explanitory)

2. He’s scared of strangers.

3. He’s scared of butterflies.

4. He loves a good cuddle.

5. He loves his mama and doesn’t appreciate people hugging her.

6. He loves his bowtie.

LET'S work
TOGETHER

This life is thrilling and grand and moments of greatness are threaded through loss, grief, and uncertainty. So for tonight, let's dance and celebrate the love we have here. Now. What a gift. The ultimate luxury.

Whether your love is the strong silent kind that shows itself in knowing eyes and tender embraces, or if your love is the loud laughter and infectious kind that can barely contain the joy and excitement you feel... I want to be there. With my camera. Taking snapshots so that time will forever be frozen still.
