This was a special 2-in-1 photo shoot: not only are Cathy & PJ recently engaged, but they’re also newly expecting! For this engagement photo session + baby announcement combo, we visited two of my favorite San Francisco locations: Potrero Hill and Sutro Baths.

Jordan had been planning this one for a while.

I love how thoroughly V planned this event. Towards the end of last year he was picking a location, and eventually decided on a Lands End Trail surprise proposal. He sent me the coordinates, a map of the area, a photo of where to go off trail, and even a video of how it looked. I could already picture how everything would look, without even having been there!
