The 4th Trimester, Santa Barbara Baby Photographer

rebecca March 13, 2015

This little nugget was so fun to photograph. Those sweet cheeks! That handmade beanie! The chubby little arms and legs! Ahh! Love! As he kicked his legs and suckled on his hand, I couldn’t help but reminisce about my two boys at this age.

At about 3 months old, babies really start to come into their own. As their senses and bodies become more developed, you can finally start to see flashes of the personality that’s brewing inside. And it just never ceases to amaze me how quickly they grow and soon become running, stomping, talking kids.

I love babies at every age and feel so lucky to get to work with these wee ones. Documenting their miraculous growth and evolution as people truly touches my heart.

Santa Babara Baby and Family Photographer

rebecca January 6, 2015

I have photographed this sweet family for four years now. We've celebrated many occasions from pregnancy to birth to the holidays. It is always such a pleasure. Watching and documenting the blossoming lives of all five of them is beyond special. Whether the first child or the third, the addition of a new baby is so exciting! Each little person adds to the family dynamic, offering new opportunities for emotional growth, deepening of the family ties and new relationships forming and evolving as the children adjust to their new roles. The youngest becomes the middle child, the oldest become a nurturer and both mom and dad have to find their new grooves as well.

I love seeing my clients’ families grow with each passing year. Capturing the fleeting magic of early childhood is just one of the reasons why I love my job so much. Aren’t you ready to have your next baby? ;)

Santa Barbara Photographer, Newborn Portraits

rebecca January 10, 2014

I had the privilege to photograph this little darling over the holiday season. This sweet baby girl was just a few days old when these newborn photos were taken... Although the house was far from quite with older two sisters running around, this little one just slept peacefully while I photographed her and her siblings. I just adore these newborn portraits and love that I got to capture such a special time for this family! I am sure they all had a wonderful Christmas with this cutie pie!

rebecca January 4, 2014

Here's another few images from one of my Holiday Mini Session back in December. I am finally getting around to posting some of the photos that I had taken the last couple of months... It really was a busy season this year and I got to capture so many great moments! Now that the celebrations have come to a close and 2014 has arrived, it's time to share some of the images that I had the joy of capturing this Holiday Season. Stay tuned, I have a lot more blogging to do over the next couple of weeks and plenty of work to share with you all. I really can't believe the New Year is already here... Did someone hit the fast forward button! Thank you to this sweet family for the wonderful photo shoot here in Santa Barbara... It's always a pleasure to photograph you all!! Lot's of love. XOXO!

Welcome to the World | Santa Barbara Newborn Photographer

At one week old, I had the pleasure of photographing this sweet little guy and welcome him into the world. Although I had a baby boy this last February, I was still in awe of his petite little features, his wrinkly skin, and those sweet newborn baby noises. It is so easy to forget how tiny these little ones are in those first few weeks of life... I am so happy to have captured this moment in time for this sweet family! Lots of love to you all!

Every year I donate an outdoor family photo session to the Santa Barbara Montessori School for their annual fundraiser and auction. Their event is always spectacular and I love to help out this amazing school in any way I can. This sweet family won my donation this year! I could not have been more excited when these 3 adorable little girls showed up for their photo session. They were so excited to put on their pink dresses and play with all the fun props I brought along. We had an amazing afternoon together running through the grass and getting our feet wet in the tide.

Summer Mini Sessions, Santa Barbara Outdoor Family Portraits

rebecca August 12, 2013

Such a pleasure to photograph this beautiful family once again for my Summer Mini Sessions in Santa Barbara, CA! I always love seeing my clients year after year... I get to watch and document such a special time in their lives. I can't believe it's been a whole year since I have seen this little guy... Where does the time go! Having two small children myself, it seems like they will be in diapers forever and that they will always need you to watch, listen, and chase after them as they explore the world. However, I have to remind myself that one day, not too long from now, they will become more independent and start to explore the world on their own. We all must remember to cherish these moments now and live in the present. Maybe the laundry is overflowing and the house looks less than perfect, but as my 4 year old would say "Who cares!"

Little Miss Stella | Santa Barbara Children's Photography

One of my favorite things about being a children and family photographer is that I get to see many of these kids year after year. I get to watch them grow and develop their funny little personalities... Such a joy! They get to know me, and I, them. I photographed this sweet girl a couple years back for their family Christmas photos. Even though I have two kids of my own, I still am amazed at how quickly children grow and change! Makes me want to go photograph my children this moment just to capture them as they are today. How does time fly by so fast?

Outdoor Family Photography | Santa Barbara, CA

It is very important to me to support local schools and charities in Santa Barbara County, so each year I donate about 5 to 10 photo session to help support the educational system in our area. I hope my donations make a difference and that we can all somehow contribution to our future generations. These were the lucky winners of one of my donations! It was a magical evening out at the Elwood Bluffs in Goleta... The sun was peeking out between the puffy white clouds and the light was just gorgeous! These kiddos were having a blast running amongst the eucalyptus trees and the grassy brush. I just love all the beautiful colors! Thanks for a wonderful photo shoot!

Welcome Baby Tucker | Santa Barbara Newborn Photos

rebecca June 14, 2013

Welcome to the world little Tucker!! This sweet baby boy was the most amazing newborn to photograph... He just slept and slept... and slept! Since this little nugget was born about a month, I was able to photograph him on his actual due date! He was teeny tiny when he was born, but is growing fast and already over 6lbs when I got to take his newborn portraits. It was a fun shoot and I always love when parents have cute little props and ideas in mind. I just love this boat they had in their home! So perfect! It made the most adorable prop for Tucker's newborn photo shoot and the images will match their home perfectly!
