Love is in the Air

This is the season of LOVE right before the season of WEDDINGS. I love this time of year in Bakersfield, chilly air and scattered rain to keep the skies clear. My last three Engagement shoots have been such great fun! I can't wait til these weddings, which are right around the corner. For these shoots, we took to the great outdoors:

Stephen and Alaina we simply hit the beautiful agriculture in Southwest Bakersfield where the grass is as high as an elephant's eye--not really, but close enough.




Carlos and Lindsay we took to the almond orchards where the blooms are bursting. This blooming season is coming to an end quickly! We also got the edgier side of the orchards, at the railroad tracks--this is always so much fun for me, especially when you have a couple willing to get a little dirty with train oil!



Then Robert and JulieAnn--we had a lot of fun in my old stomping grounds. Back to Costa Mesa at Back Bay Natural Reserve--I used to walk it in college and was so in love with it (when my allergies could handle it). I always remembered it fondly and wondered how a photoshoot would do there, well now I know. The yellow wildflowers were only more perfect when JulieAnn showed up in an adorable yellow sundress! Crazy coincidence? It was perfect.




You can see all of these photoshoots under the "proofing" category on my website at http://www.mistydameron.com/, but here's a couple to get the idea. Thanks all of you beautiful couples, I cannot wait for the rest of the story!
