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? ;)

Matilda Jane Clothing, Santa Barbara Children's Photographer

I had a blast photographing these two adorable girls in clothing by Matilda Jane last week! These clothes could not have been more much fun to photograph... They are so colorful and vibrant! Love it! I often have clients ask me what to wear to a photo session... My usual reply is to keep the clothing simple with a splash of color here and there. I love neutrals, creams, beige, eggshell, etc. Since these clothes were far from that, I was excited to see how they would photograph! Being more of a minimalist, I was pleasantly surprised with how these images turned out with the fun and crazy patterns! The location was perfect for this shoot with the tall green grass and the sun poking through the branches. I just love these images... Really makes it feel like spring has sprung here in Santa Barbara!

Outdoor Family Mini Sessions, Santa Barbara CA

I had the best time photographing so many familiar faces during my February Mini Session held last month, especially this adorable bunch! It was a gorgeous afternoon in Santa Barbara with the sun peeking in and out of the clouds. It was picture perfect! This cute family was so fun to work with and their little guy was so easy going... I am loving his monster truck shirt which just happens to be his favorite piece of clothing! What a cutie pie!

Valentine's Day Mini Sessions, Santa Barbara Portrait Photographer

Happy Valentine's Day!!! How adorable are these kiddos! I was cracking up as I edited all these images... So many fun expressions and poses! Where do they come up with this stuff...? Just too Cute! I really LOVE this themed photo shoot I put together for my Valentine's Day Mini Sessions a few weeks back! I like to use simple props that don't over power the photo, but still get the Valentine's Day message across. The children had a blast and loved playing around with the props I had prop along. Lucky for me, I brought extra heart-shaped balloons because they were popping left and right. It was a fun and playful photo shoot filled with smiles and laughter... So cute watching these kiddos get in their element. I wish everyone a very Happy Valentine's Day and I hope you enjoy these images as much as I do! XOXO

Be My Valentine, Santa Barbara Children's Photographer

Valentine's Day is around the corner and love is in the air. To fulfill my creative juices and get in the spirit of the season, I put together this themed photo shoot for no other reason than to have some fun and play around with ideas! I absolutely adore these images... I love when my vision comes together and manifests itself so perfectly. I could not have done it without this sweet little girl who was so excited to pose for the camera. We had the best time playing with all the girly props I had brought along and she was so excited to put on pink lipstick! So funny! Being a mom of two little boys, I just loved all the girl energy and played dress-up right along with her! We talked about princesses and fairies, decorated our little fairy fortress, and let our imaginations take over! So much fun! I hope you all enjoy these images as much as I do...
