Children's Photography, Santa Barbara CA

I just came across these adorable images I shot back in February during my Mini Session special!  How I overlooked not posting these images earlier, I am not sure... They are too cute!  This sweet little girl was just about to turn one year old and we captured these images just a week shy of her first birthday.  One year old babies are hands-down one of my favorite subjects to photograph... Their cute little rolls, big bright eyes, and chubby cheeks make it hard to put my camera down.

Wildflowers, Santa Barbara Children's Photographer

Spring in Santa Barbara is one of my favorite times of the year!  The wildflowers take over with their beautiful vibrant colors and make for some stunning backdrops for my outdoor photography sessions.  The concept for this photo shoot was to capture the playfulness and high-spirited energy of this sweet girl running amongst the yellow wildflowers.  This particular location is a special place for this family... They have been exploring and enjoying this area since their little girl was a baby.  I just love everything about these photos... Not only are they beautiful images to look at, they have significant meaning to this family and they will cherish them forever.  XOXO

Outdoor Family Photography, Santa Barbara

With the hustle and bustle of this past holiday season, I am still coming across some beautiful family photo sessions I never got around to posting at the time.  This was a great outdoor family photo session take at the Bacara Beach Resort in Goleta.  It was a chilly overcast afternoon, but the light was spectacular!  I just love overcast weather for beach shoots...  It really makes for some gorgeous light!  Despite the cool breeze, this adorable family didn't let their frozen toes get in the way of making some memories.  I just love these shots... So playful and fun!

Santa Barbara Family Photography- Fun with the Jeffery's

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!
