What an amazing couple to kick off my 1st engagement shoot of 2019 with!  Ali & Fernando share a common love for kids…and not just any aged kid, but that age range with the endearing nicknames of Terrible Twos and Three-nagers.  I should know, I have one of my own 🙂 J/k…I actually wish I could freeze this age!  Anyhoo, they met while working at the same preschool!  There is nothing more attractive than seeing your main squeeze play with kids!

This duo live in Petaluma, but Ali’s grandparents live on a magical property in Santa Rosa offering pretty much every backdrop a photographer could ask for.  So of course we had to do the session there!  We had so much fun exploring the wooded area as well as the Italian inspired grounds.  I was boiling over with inspiration!  I may have to convince her grandparents to turn it into a wedding venue 😉 BUT even more amazing is that they are getting married at my favorite wedding venue, Vintner’s Inn!  Can’t wait to see these two again this fall!
