December is not a big month for weddings.  But this December we were pretty busy with shooting corporate holiday parties and engagement sessions.  One of these "engagement sessions" was actually part of a series of shoots put together by the PhotogShootout group.  PhotogShootout is a group of photographers that get together to network, learn, help each other grow their business, and of course shoot!  The December shoot was held in Claremont, CA.  Rob and I had never been to Claremont before, but we were both amazed by how cute and quaint the downtown area is.  Any of our brides and grooms still looking for a place to shoot their engagement session?  This may be a great place :)

The scene below was shot at the Claremont Train Station.  I LOVED the costuming and make-up for this shoot.  I especially loved the awesome vintage red coat, the headband, and the suitcase. 

Rob and I were so excited about these photos, that we actually ordered our first sample album.  Thanks to all the organizers of the event.  Thanks Steven and Alissa! You were awesome models!
