Sarah and Carlos’ Balboa Park Anniversary Session is something I’ve been dreaming to photograph for quite some time. It has always been one of my favorite parks to visit while in California and this was the perfect opportunity for a mini session. Go figure we’d head over to the park during the middle of the day during a heat wave in the summer. I knew I wanted to photograph them at the amphitheater, so it worked out this area had some shade. And thanks to Coronavirus, we felt like we had the space all to ourselves. We found our spot, took off our masks, and made sure to socially distance ourselves from any passerbys. It was a hot one and they were troopers for cuddling in the heat.

In about thirty minutes, we strolled around the theatre grabbing moments whenever we could. Thank you Sarah and Carlos, my beautiful cousins, for modeling for me! It is always the best time with them. I cannot wait to be and photograph another couple here soon!

Enjoy!
