Scenic B&W {I Heart Faces}

When I saw that the theme this week at I Heart Faces was “Scenic B&W”, I knew what photo I would have to use. This is one of my favorite shots of my husband and son, overlooking our beautiful mountains here in Santa Barbara, at a man made lake that is so close to the airport, you can easily see pilots out enjoying the sunny California afternoons in their single engine planes. Another reason why I love this image so much is that it’s one of the first pictures I took when I got my very first SLR. I didn’t know how to use my camera out of auto mode, but looking back I am thankful this was shot at (the camera’s choice of) f/9, to achieve that wonderful depth. Be sure to check out more scenic b&w entries at I Heart Faces this week!

{Santa Barbara Family Photographer} Watching Them Grow

This beautiful Santa Barbara family were actually my first yes first photo session after starting my business one year ago, almost to the date, so they will always hold such a special place in my heart :-) . It is a wonderful pleasure seeing children grow and change, one of the parts of this job I love the most. This cutie has gone from a chubby cheeked toddler to such a handsome, sweet boy, I know his lovely Mom and Dad have raised him well ;-)

Please show this amazing family a whole bunch of BLOG LOVE to win them print credits! (pretty please, don’t be shy)





{Santa Barbara Family Photographer} Pretty in Pink

Oh I just love what I do… I have been blessed with the most awesome beautiful clients and their children and this family is definitely no exception. I have to admit I was SO excited to have a little girl to shoot, I mean I heart my boys, but this sweet cherub in pink is just what the Dr. ordered ;-) And this session marks a Z’s the Day first, that would be a family including the “furry” member, their firstborn Charlie :-)

Leave this family a bit of BLOG LOVE to win them some print credits!

{Santa Barbara Newborn Photographer} Going for a Cruz

What a sweet baby boy this was, making his entrance to the world a little early for Mom and Dad, but this adorable three week old guy ended up being so fun to photograph, he snoozed peacefully and let us pose him, then after a quick snack from Mom, was bright eyed and alert, showing off his beautiful baby blues :-) look at him holding up his head! I have a feeling they are going to have an athlete on their hands, just like Daddy <3 And isn’t the color scheme fabulous! Everything just tied together, nice job Mama! ;-) You may remember her from her amazing baby shower HERE (and yes she’s one of those types who leaves the hospital thin and perfect, hate her) lol

As always, show this cutie some BLOG LOVE, every comment gets them a print credit!
