The Allan Family Photos ~ SLOtown.
This beautiful family is growing! My friends Vince & Melissa already have a beautiful girl, Blair, and it looks like Blair is getting a sister! We started with photos at their home in SLO and continued around town, eventually finding ourselves at San Luis Creek. Bentley (the bulldog) joined us for the whole trip…he and Vince are about to be outnumbered but he wasn’t about to let his guard down. Congrats to the Allan crew, you guys look great!
Blake Andrews founded SLOtography in 2008 and now works alongside photographer James Lester and videographer Robin Ayers. Together, they bring more than 30 years of experience (and serious good vibes) to weddings and events throughout San Luis Obispo and the Central Coast.

A winter elopement at Cayucos Landing that felt like pure magic. The ocean was calm, the sunset glowed soft and golden, and somehow their “winter” ceremony was warm and perfectly still.
Just the two of them, the sound of the waves, and a sky that showed off all evening.
Central Coast winters really know how to show up.

Happy Groundhog Day! (to Jackie & Ryan ~ these beautiful two souls…but enough about their adorability)…
Let’s talk more about Groundhog Day!
The one holiday that represents…nothing. Yes, there may be some shenanigans in the selection process of the “purest” breeding practices and bloodlines of groundhogs (solid build, symmetrical features…or, maybe what it comes down to is which groundhog is the most chill and least likely to bit the guy in the pilgrim hat…what’s his deal…?) but all seems quite arbitrary.
The fact that some early settlers believed that whether or not a groundhog sees its shadow on Feb. 2nd has anything to do with the duration of winter is so stony, (however, to be fair, so too are most superstitions in cultures everywhere), I just feel like most of them actually have a story that’s cool enough to be categorized as “myth”…with a protagonist, antagonist, superhuman feats that could be performed only by “God-like” characters, plot twists, etc. Not here. It’s just a chubby groundhog coming out for a snack for no apparent reason other than we need something that casts a shadow…, and yeah, let’s pick the shortest creature so it’ll never be definitive whether or not that shadow is really there. And they can’t assess this just anywhere in Punxsutawney, PA… it must be done at Gobbler’s Knob. Great shadow-casting there. The best.
I love Groundhog Day because it is so trivial. Someone just thought, it’s been too long since MLK day, Presidents’ Day is too far away, and I sure am getting bored with winter…can we get an arbitrary holiday already? Yes. Yes, we can.
Hot Take on movie of the year: Train Dreams. It’s the only hot take I’m willing to share here right now… Other than that, I just humbly offer some stupendous photos of two beautiful people. Have a pleasant evening and F#ck Ice.
