Jack + Jenny // Muir Beach + Muir Woods Engagement Session

@jessrankin_

In exactly two weeks, these cuties will be Husband + Wife! On Friday, we met up for a quick little session. In all their years together, they don't have many photos of the both of them + we just wanted to ease the anxious feels of being in front of the camera. Let's just say they aren't as awkward as they led on 😉🔥

Heading out for an Engagement Session this evening, so I thought this would be a good time share a couple of C+K's Vintage Engagement Photos! Such a fun shoot @bardo_oakland + Redwood Regional

So stoked for 2020’s Senior Rep Team, applications are live!! there’s a link in my bio with all the details + the application!

Birthday cake or Wedding cake? I’ll take this as my birthday cake 😉😍Heading out to shoot a wedding today in Saratoga! I actually love working on my birthday, from the days of Moto to Weddings, I love what I do + getting to be creative is the best way to celebrate another trip around the sun. I'll just be missing Huds.. Cutest cake ever from @caipennington + @corey_pennington’s wedding last summer!

Yesterday in my inbox arrived headshots from Alaska. @spacewolfgrace took this of me. I don’t think I’ve ever had a portrait that feels like myself every time I look at it.
Grace composed this shot + I felt so awkward (I become even more of my shy/introverted self on the other side of the camera) . I was standing on top of this rock, flailing around + couldn’t help but to crack up about how ridiculous I must look. All the while Grace worked her magic.
With all that said, this photo is just me. I feel something deep in my bones. I feel a lot more of those moments since I’ve taken the time to feel this year, to take things in + be more present. These feelings feel fitting to post, as tomorrow marks another trip around the sun.
I’m going with 25 again, for the second year in a row. I’m such a numbers person and I just don’t like the way 26 or 27 sound 😂
Maybe next year I’ll except 28 😏🤨 also the least birthday person ever/don’t care about age.. so I laugh every time I tell this story.

A sweet little moment last weekend, between two of the kindest + most affectionate people ever. Did you catch all the sneak peaks from this week on my story? They're still there! Such a great week already, 3 more weddings coming right up this weekend! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
