Cinda’s family got together at their vacation home in Pismo Beach over the recent holiday to beat the heat…and they won! In Pismo, the fog has a tendency to beat the heat, especially during the summer. Not to worry, the fog creates some beautiful and soft light (great for portraits).
We got some great shots from their beachfront deck and then and hit the beach for some nice pics underneath the pier. The moral of the story is this – when the fog comes out, get some portraits taken.

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.
