Brand New and Beautiful, Santa Barbara Newborn Photographer

Happy New Year to all!!  So far I’m loving 2015 and I hope you are too! Now that the holiday rush has come to a close, the kids are back in school, and all the holiday decor has been pack away for next year, I have some time to reflect on an amazing year and share some of the shoots that closed out 2014.  Each year as fall and winter approach, my schedule gets a little crazy (to be honest, it is insanely nuts) and I find it hard to keep up with the blog and all the updates happening at the studio.   So, please stay tuned in the next few week while I share some of my favorite shoots from the season!  I hope you enjoy!

This sweet little guy was born in mid-October, just in time to join his family for the start of the holidays! There’s a beautiful magic to sharing our beloved traditions for the first time with our little ones.  Personally, I’m always honored to work with a brand new baby... Talk about squishy sweetness!  Just look at his beautiful face!

Welcome Vienna Grace | Santa Barbara Newborn Photographer

Congratulations to the Kearin Family on the arrival of their sweet little girl, Vienna Grace!  What an adorable name!!  Having just had a baby boy myself in February, I was very excited to go prop shopping for Vienna's newborn shoot.  Little girls are so fun to shop for!  Prop shopping has to be one of my favorite things about being a children's photographer... I love having an excuse to buy adorable baby things!!!

I had a wonderful time with the Kearin Family!  We were able to get some beautiful photographs of baby Vienna as well as the entire family!  Thank you for having me capture this special time in your lives!  XOXO

Self-Portrait at 40 weeks | Pregnancy Photos, Santa Barbara, CA

We are eagerly awaiting the arrival of our little boy, Wilder!  I am 40 weeks pregnant this Friday and could not be feeling more alive.  This pregnancy has been a wonderful journey and we all are so excited to finally meet our newest addition.  As I have been trying to relax and mentally prepare for birth (not an easy task with a 3 year old running around with unlimited amounts of energy), I decided to take some self-portraits to remember these last few days of pregnancy.  So, this afternoon I found the energy and put the camera up on a tripod to snap a few maternity photos for myself.  I will cherish these photos forever and look forward to the day I can touch my toes again!

Santa Barbara Newborn Photographer- Hello Aidan!

Happy New Year to everyone!!  I hope you had a wonderful holiday season with your family and loved ones.  It feels great for the holidays to wind down and jump back into what I love to do most... Newborn photos!!!  It was so great to photograph Baby Aidan at just 12 days old...  I love the jet black hair and his little rolls.  What a cutie!  It usually takes a lot of rocking, feeding, and time to get newborns to sleep for the camera; however, Aidan just nestle right down and allow me to start photographing right away.  What a treat!
