{Santa Barbara Baby Photos} Aware of the World
“Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.” ~Elizabeth Stone
I don’t know what it is about newborn baby boys I photograph, they always seem to be so alert, with big sparkling eyes! At a mere 7 days old sweet little Taj was no exception, with his baby blues that matched the gorgeous ocean themed decor of his nursery. We even had a little photo session “impostor” of the canine variety, Taj’s Mommy and Daddy’s first child ;-) Show this brand new awesome family some blog love, every comment gets them a print credit!!
{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 Child Photographer} Smirk {I Heart Faces}
When I saw that this weeks theme was “Smirk” over at I Heart Faces, I knew immediately what photo I would be using. This November marks Z’s the Day Photography’s One Year Anniversary, and it has been such a fun, photographic journey for me- this shot was from my second paid photo session ever, and while it took a little work to get this little angel to warm up to me, it wasn’t long before her inner diva came out :-) and boy, after that she gave me some great shots, this one being my favorite. You really can’t get a better “smirk” than this lol. Now I look forward to photographing her again this year, with her beautiful Mama, Daddy, and baby brother (or sister!) ;-)

{Santa Barbara Family Photographer} Tidepool Eyes
I know what you’re thinking, this is a bit more than just a sneak peek :-) When faced with the daunting task of choosing a few shots from this amazing session to blog, I knew it would be no easy feat- pretty impossible in fact. I had so much fun with this little family, they were up for anything, and so laid back and sweet they made my job easy- we crammed 4 locations in our time together, and they never skipped a beat. Can you believe how gorgeous little “W’s” eyes are??? Reminds me of the brilliant aqua tide-pools I posted here! I guess he has great genes, because, look at Mom and Dad !

{Santa Barbara Newborn Photographer} Newborn Love
Well, here it is, my first “official” newborn session, and I couldn’t have asked for a better baby boy to work with, he took a little coaxing into slumber-land, but once he was there, oh my! those lips, that perfect skin, it really doesn’t get any better. And when he was awake, he was AWAKE! :-) super cute and alert for a mere 14 days old. I know this precious baby {C} was a wonderful blessing, especially for his rockin’, ass kicking, breast cancer survivor Mama. Congratulations to {B} & {M}, this little boy will amaze you and change your life forever…
This lucky couple will get $1 credit for every comment on this post, so show them some love! :-)
This session also gave me the chance to try out a new action a fellow photographer and friend created, it was great for drawing the attention to this sweetie’s gorgeous face, you can find it here (it’s FREE!) Thanks D! XOXO
