Honestly, I’m getting a little emotional writing this… I’ve known Aileen and Jaime for a while - yearssss. We planned their wedding together for a couple of years together, getting super excited with all the details. We flew to Mexico - Guanajuato city - to do their engagement session; we had so much fun hanging out. Then Covid pandemic happened. We were carefully watching what was happening and what the rules were during the lockdown. They decided to cancel the wedding. But then, they wanted to just get married. So they came to us (we’re also based in Carlsbad, CA) and eloped in Balboa Park in San Diego with masks on and the 6 foot social distancing rule. Nothing was going to stop their love and their plan to build a family together. During the pandemic, they welcomed Nicolas who turned 3 years this year. When Nicolas was an infant, I went to visit him, hand-delivering their wedding albums, and I still have photos of me holding tiny Nicolas.
The Serrano family recently bought a house in lovely area of Woodland Hills and has invited me to come over and document their typical afternoon with the highly energetic toddler boy and a new puppy. It was so much fun - a lot of running around, and I always like to end the session with a lovely portrait of the family.
(Oh, yes, I’m overdue to post their elopement and engagement portrait photos. I hope to get to them eventually!)
