Project 52 {Week 16} Movement

I had to take a break from our project 52 group over at The Bloom Forum, but I missed the gals in our circle so I am back this week for the theme of movement. For those who don’t know, I participate in a themed 52 week project with a group of photographers from all over the world. There is 15 of us this week, so I highly recommend clicking on the next link and doing the full circle, to see how everybody interprets the theme- it’s really fun, I promise :-)
I loved this image from a recent session, nothing more freeing than flying up in the air, only to fall safely back in Daddy’s arms. It always brings a smile of glee to the face of the flyer, and this time was no exception.

Next in the circle, is one of my fav’s, the totally amazing Jobrina Hofleit, a Goodyear Arizona {extremely talented} Photographer. Make sure you hop over and visit her!!





{Santa Barbara Elopement Photographer} Three’s Company

“Romance is the glamour which turns the dust of everyday life into a golden haze.” ~Amanda Cross

Although I am not a wedding photographer per se, when this sweet couple contacted me wanting an elopement/family photo session it sounded right up my alley, all the fun of shooting wedding portraits, combined with the intimacy of a family session. Add in a gorgeous ranch location, glorious morning light, and a SUPER gorgy family of three, how could I go wrong?? :-) The love and adoration between these three is indescribable, every image just has that glow of love <3 The session was followed by a touching and heartfelt civil ceremony at the courthouse- just the bride, groom, officiant, little “L” … and me. I can’t even describe how honored I felt that with all the amazing wedding photographers in Santa Barbara, they chose me to be a part of their special day.

Please show this newly~wed couple tons of Blog Love, for every comment they get print credit!
