Santa Barbara Family Photography- Fun with the Jeffery's

rebecca December 29, 2012

This was such a fun family photo shoot with Jennifer, Daniel, and their cute little guy Elijah! It was a beautiful day in sunny Santa Barbara after many days of rain. We had to postpone out photo shoot multiple times because of the weather, but we finally made it out on this gorgeous day! I just love these sweet pictures of their cute little family. A funny little story behind this shoot... As we were taking family pictures, the little boy ran up to this man and his dog. The little boy started to pet the dog and the man said to me that I should stand over by him, get down low, and shoot in the direction he was pointing... "That's the shot," he said! Having my own opinion on how I wanted to shoot, I did not pay much attention to his comment. The man's wife chimed in and said "You should listen to him. He's a director." Being somewhat stubborn, I ignored their comments and just made some small talk. As they walked away, the dad of the little boy said to me... "You know that was Martin Scorsese, right?" I knew he looked familiar, but just did not put it together at the time. I had to laugh to myself... How did I not recognize him!

The Young Family- Santa Barbara Outdoor Family Photography

Here is another sneak peek at one of my Christmas Mini Portrait Sessions... The Young Family was so sweet and we captured some amazing family portraits for their 2012 Christmas card. It is not an easy task in sunny Santa Barbara to capture the essence of fall, but I think we did it here beautifully! The fallen leaves and the golden sun are just perfect! I always love when my clients are blown away when they see their family photos... Thanks to the Young Family for an amazing shoot! I hope to see you next year as well! :)

Little Girls and Pink Dresses- Outdoor Family Photography, Santa Barbara

As a soon to be mother of two boys, I must say there is a part of my heart that melts when I get to photograph little girls in pretty dresses. I love the way they twirl around for the camera, so sweet and adorable! These two girls couldn't have been cuter with their big round eyes and pink dresses! It was a beautiful day for family photos at Chase Palm Park in Santa Barbara. The pictures turn out spectacular and will make one amazing Christmas card! The sun was shining and the cool breeze made us feel like fall is actually here to stay.

It has been one busy portrait season!!! I am just finally getting around to posting some of favorite family photo shoots from the last couple of months. The Nisen family was one of my first photo shoots of the Holiday Season... These boys were full of energy, which I just love! It is always fun to capture the true nature of young boys... So sweet! The oak trees were just beautiful and I love fall colors we so rarely see here in Santa Barbara.

There are no words for how sweet little guy is! Baby Jake is so blessed to have such a loving family and I was lucky enough to photograph some of their first memories together. Jake was so calm throughout the entire photo shoot and I was able to capture some very precious moments at their home in Santa Barbara, CA. I just love newborn portraits... These tiny little people grow up so quickly!

It was my pleasure to photograph this sweet little guy last week in their home in Santa Barbara, CA. We had a great photo shoot with Jack's big sis showering him with love... So cute to see! Oh, how I love sleeping baby portraits! It took a little time to get baby Jack all comfy and cozy, but it was time well spent! We got some beautiful newborn photos that melt my heart. This little guy did amazing and has such a calm nature to him... Isn't he adorable!
