Megan & Eric :: Pre-Deployment Couples Session

I was so glad to have the opportunity to photograph Megan and her husband, Eric before he deployed only 3 days after our session. We decided to meet in La Jolla, and due to the gorgeous weather, parking was as abysmal as ever ;) But we had a wonderful sunset session and captured some images that will hopefully help ease the pain of the separation.

I should also mention that Eric wasn't keen on getting wet, and is not a big fan of the water. In the first 5 minutes of the session, he was on the receiving end of seagull droppings, and got splashed by a huge wave that came out of nowhere. Thanks to Photoshop, the seagull droppings were no more - but he gets serious kudos for grinning and bearing it during the shoot, since it is a little gross!

Here is the super-cute couple!





I ended up doing a lot of B&W conversions with this session - I loved it with their dark hair and black shirts.





But you can't ignore the gorgeous colors on the beach.







Love that light just after sunset!







It was so nice to meet you, Megan and Eric! Eric, stay safe during the deployment, and I hope that the time passes quickly for you both!
