Stockton?

Some of my favorite people live in beautiful Stockton, Ca. and I went to visit them this weekend. We had a really nice BBQ and just hung out and caught up. This cute kid is Trent:

The guy working the grill is Casey, who I met down in Carpinteria when we were both helping with the youth group at Reality. His wife Hope is holding the food. They are so much fun! I shot their wedding a couple of years ago too :) Speaking of weddings, if you look at the picture below this one, you'll see a couple holding hands by the window, Lea and Brian. I'm super excited to be shooting their wedding this summer as well!

So the BBQ was over, and Hope's brother is a tattoo artist. Someone mentioned something about wanting to get a tattoo, and before you knew it, the livingroom turned into a tattoo parlor! Cool right? If I had any good ideas I would have jumped on that train, but I guess there's always next time :) The guy below is Matt getting his first tattoo.

The next two people are Trent's mom and dad, Christian and Michelle. They got matching anchors behind their ears. 

Oh yeah, so this was all for Matt's 21st birthday, I almost forgot. Make a wish birthday boy!

Casey and Hope are hecka cute!

These pics are from the church that they all go to, Reality Stockton. Matt was leading worship on guitar, Casey plays drums and Christian played bass. Oh yeah, Hope's other brother Josh is the pastor. Lots of good times!
