Shabaka. That’s how I started the engagement session. That’s right. Shabaka. Is it a Japanese word you ask? No…it’s a word that the iphone came up with when correcting my text that was supposed to read “Ahahaha” but apparently “Ahahahaha” is not in the dictionary, and “Shabaka” is. So when Sachiyo read my text that was supposed to read “Ahahahaha” because I was laughing, instead she read “Shabaka” which was just down right confusing and hilarious all at the same time. So, ya, that’s how I started our session. With total stupidity. But it was all good because Matt & Sachiyo are friggin’ cool. How do I always get so lucky with such awesome peeps to hang out and shoot with?!? I wish I could have edited more pics–because there were others I wanted to get to, but in the interest of time (since I’m really behind right now) and I didn’t want to hold out on Matt & Sachi anymore, here are a few from our session. Both of them are avid climbers. They climb EVERYTHING. So, of course, we had to climb something during our session. It’s one of my favs I have to say.
P.S. I tried to climb something myself. Just a lowly fence. Something that Matt & Sachi would jump over…but um…I got stuck. And I couldn’t get my fat booty or my leg to help me get over it. I’m sure they were laughing their heads off inside, but ya, I even got a battle wound on my toe for my efforts or lack thereof. Thanks for being prepared with a bandaid Sachi! Love you!
Anyway, here’s a few to start:
They could have climbed the entire wall. crazy I say.
Sachi & Matt don’t really like their “serious” look, but I gots to say, the one on the right is one of my favs of them. They are HOTNESS!
