Ventura County Photography Session | Michelline & Daniel

These two! Michelline and Daniel are two of the nicest, most easy-going people I have ever met! We had a blast during their Ventura County photography session. They are so warm-hearted and their kind attitudes made for the best day. Even though our first-choice location wasn’t available day-of, and rainclouds kept looming ominously overhead, these two wouldn’t let anything dampen their smiles!

I had the honor of capturing couples’ portraits for them just a few weeks before they made a big move out-of-state. It’s not just weddings and engagements that deserve photos, but really every big life event!

We started our session at Surfer’s Knoll Beach, then made our way to Serra Cross Park. The different spots gave us all the best that California has to offer– the perfect send-off before their big move! It’s always fun picking two different types of locations for your session so that you have a variety of backdrops in your photos. I love to recommend this if we have a two-hour session, so we can capture lots of great images at both locations!

Gallery delivery days are always so exciting for me! After sending off her gallery, I got the sweetest email from Michelline:

Leslie!!!! These photos are FANTASTIC!!! Thank you again for picking us and for taking the time & effort to capture our essence! We are so grateful! And in love with the fruits of your hard work!

Reactions like ^^that are why I love what I do. It’s an honor to be able to capture these special moments in life for joyful couples with such big hearts.
