{Santa Barbara Outdoor Photography} Beach Baby
I first photographed this little family when “T” was an itty bitty thing, just days old. Look at him now, about to turn one and running all over the place, amazing how fast the time passes once you have a child. I really wanted this to be a fun session to celebrate such a big milestone and also give this sweet little family some great memories of their trip, since they were back visiting Santa Barbara from up north, where they now live. We covered lots of ground during this session, from balloons in the woods, to the Ellwood Bluffs, and a visit to the tide-pools for a gorgeous sunset. You can certainly see how “T” has a love for the beach and the water, attempting to go in even though it was probably 40 degrees :-) Thank you so much for the fun afternoon!

{Santa Barbara Portrait Photography} Thank You 2011
Goodness, to be honest I got extremely teary looking over images for this post. I know it’s cliche to say but I feel so blessed to have captured the faces of all my wonderful clients in the past year. My business really took off in 2011 and I have all of you to thank, I couldn’t have done it without you. I had such a blast getting to know you, hearing your stories, and for many- watching your children grow and change. As a thank you, not only will I be offering return clients in 2012 $50 off their session fee, I will be hosting a little contest on my Facebook page- a chance for you to win a free session, including ALL your digital files! So look out for that! And hopefully you stick around, and continue to follow my blog, I have a feeling there will be many exciting things in store for Z’s the Day in 2012. XOXOXO Jen
SEE YOU IN 2012!! :-)

{Newborn Lifestyle Photographer} It’s a Girl
You may remember the maternity session I did a while back in November, where I mentioned it was a surprise what sex the baby would be- it’s a girl! Not only my first newborn girl, but my final session of 2011. And I couldn’t have asked for a more fun lifestyle session to end the year with, sweet little E seriously couldn’t have been more perfectly content, even smiling for the camera several times- maybe because she was thinking of how many times she pooped and peed on Mom and Dad in those three hours… Kim and Tim, I’m hoping the stained garments/blankets/sheets/kitchen counter were worth it ;-)

{Santa Barbara Family Photographer} Plus One
I was so happy to finish up my season of holiday photo sessions with this special family! Mama and I have known each other since we were 5 in kindergarten, the same age my son is now. It’s now a joy to see her own family grow, last time I photographed them they were four- with the addition of a new baby comes another reason for an updated family shot, and for that I am glad. This session was so fun, the colors were perfect, and it was yet another beautiful Santa Barbara evening. Oh and those three kiddos aren’t hard on the eyes, right? ;-) Thank you H Family!! XOXOX

{Extended Family Photo Session} Lucky 13
What a fun session I have to share with you! Members from this big family came from all over including New York and Colorado for Thanksgiving so they decided to throw in a photo session in their hometown of Santa Barbara, and I’m glad they did- it was a blast capturing all the personalities of this group :-) And even in the midst of Winter, the Santa Barbara Botanic Gardens was as beautiful as always, a perfect backdrop for this lovely family!
