{Santa Barbara Photos} All Aboard

A perfect Sunday for a {first time} train ride aboard the Pacific Surfliner..





{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 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





{Santa Barbara Maternity Photographer} A Sweet Surprise

This family of three-to-be wanted to include their two original “babies” in their maternity session and it couldn’t have been more fun! We had a perfect Fall sunset at the beautiful Carpinteria beach and Moose and Willy had a blast running and playing in the surf. They are waiting to find out the sex of this little bundle of joy, so I can’t wait for their newborn session after Christmas to find out! ;-) Thank you Kim and Tim for the wonderful afternoon!





{Holiday Family Photos} On the Farm with the S Family

Another amazing afternoon on the blueberry farm for a holiday session! Not only was this family adorable- do the outfits get any better!?? Perfection! Mom is so crafty, making her own crochet props, it’s no wonder her darling kids were adorned with the best duds for a family photo session, right down to the handmade felt flower in little K’s hair. Thank you S family for a fun afternoon on the ranch! :-)
