Summer Mini Sessions- Santa Barbara Family Photographer

rebecca July 1, 2014

Summer is here along with some images from my mini sessions taken a few weeks back!!! I love this time of year... The sun is shining, the weather is warm, and dinner at the beach is the perfect way to wind down the busy work day. I will be having a few more mini sessions coming up on August 10th at Shoreline Beach here in Santa Barbara... This is the perfect way to get some great shots of your little ones frolicking in the Santa Barbara sunshine and dipping their cute little toes in the ocean waves! Ahhh, those sweet summer days! LOVE THEM!

Santa Barbara Outdoor Family Photographer

What a beautiful shoot with this cute family of four! We had a fun and interesting time at The Grassini Family Vineyard in the gorgeous Santa Ynez Valley back in April of the year. Yes, I know I am a little behind on posting updates on the blog... It's already July! Where has the time gone! The first 20 minutes of this shoot were just stunning! The light was peeking through a giant oak tree in a large open grassy field... Just Beautiful! However, the weather quickly took a turn for the worse. As dark clouds decided to roll in on us and the rain came sprinkling down, we found some shelter hoping the weather might pass. Once we realized our shoot came to an end, we decided that we would reconvene in Santa Barbara a few days later to finish our photo shoot. I just love all these images and the fun crazy story of how these photos came to be!

What a beautiful photo shoot with one of my favorite families in Santa Barbara! How darling are these three little children? I really don't think they could be any cuter if they tried! I just adore these images taken out at the Ellwood Butterfly Preserve in Goleta, CA. I have had the pleasure of photographing this sweet family for a couple years now... I just love watching these siblings grow into the the funny little people they are. The image above is one of my absolute favorite photos from this particular family photo shoot. It was the mother's hope to capture her daughter's big bright-eyed smile for her 6 month photo. We definitely got what she was hoping for! I just love this image!

Fun in the Sun, Santa Barbara Children's Photography

I can't believe I am just now posting these beautiful images taken during a photo session way back in March! Where did the time go! It has been a very busy year so far for Rebecca Farmer Photography and I have many new projects in the works that I am very excited about! I am so grateful to all my wonderful clients for coming back year after year and trusting me to creatively document these special moments in time. The photographs I capture will stay with each family forever and that is why I love to do what I do! One of the best parts of being a photographer is to see the smiles and hear the reactions of my clients once they see their images. I love how excited they get once they view all the photographs from their sessions. It is so fun to make people's day by surpassing their expectations of what they thought the images were going to look like! Another reason that I love being a Newborn, Children and Family photographer is that I get to see each individual family grow and to meet their additions along the way... Love it! I have photographed these two red heads multiple times and they just keep getting cuter. How adorable are their blue eyes and bright red hair... So adorable!

Fun on the Bluffs | Children & Family Photography, Santa Barbara CA

Although the sky was in a haze from a recent fire near Painted Cave and the wind was blowing in full force, this was a family of troopers! The weather conditions were not ideal for outdoor family photos, but I am so happy that we made it happen. The light was gorgeous from all the smoke in the sky (probably the only positive thing about the fire) and these adorable kids were having a blast. Being from out of town, this family just loved it here out on the bluff and the children played until the sun went down. Such a lovely memory for this family... Thanks for trusting me and going with the flow!

Waiting for Henry | Maternity Portraits, Santa Barbara CA

When one of my best girlfriends (and an amazing photographer) asked me to photograph her sweet little baby bump, I was more than honored! To be part of this special moment in two peoples lives is such a gift. Needless to say, I was super excited for her maternity photo shoot and knew just the location I wanted to photograph! On my afternoon walks with my sweet little baby boy, there is a magical path we always walk down... It is lined with the most beautiful oaks trees and green vines that climb up the branches. It gives me goosebumps! When the light gets low it looks straight out of a fairy tale, just beautiful! These photos melt my heart... So much love and joy between two amazing people. I am so happy for you two!
