I couldn't ask for a better session to kick my business re-location off here in Southern California! Cory & Genna were AND are amazing human beings. They have this energy that just makes you believe in human kind. We met up and started their Beloved session in Hermosa Beach, Ca down by the pier where they only live half a block away. After some time spent by the pier and an attack upon a swarm of gulls lounging on the sand, (by the inspiration of Cory they ran backwards into the beach covering gulls) we made our way to the harbor break wall. I knew the break wall was the site of an incident the two were a part of earlier this year but I had no further story behind it. While we were there they began to share with me the events that took place that led to a nearly fatal visit that one evening. I am very grateful for their willingness to trust me and relive the event that led to such a beautiful end to a gorgeous portrait session. Cory & Genna... you two are amazing! -AG

(I never force or bribe a couple to share moments that might be painful or highly private)
