These kiddos were the perfect way to end my holiday sessions. We had a great time at the park and captured lots of fun shots for their holiday cards. Thanks for the fun! Love you!!!

During Thanksgiving break, I also had the opportunity to do a quick session with my sister’s darling family to get some shots for their holiday card.

Before we left for the beach, Brooks enjoyed showing off some of his new reading books. His cousins are always so sweet and encouraging! Love this family!

we tried to sneak a few of Brooks in but he just wasn’t ‘feeling it’

mom mom and grampy with all of the grandkids!

this is always my favorite time of a shoot , when all of the more posed shots are done, the fun begins … too bad we had hungry kids, I would have loved to capture more of this fun!

2009 Christmas card!

One of our traditions on Thanksgiving day is to take a walk up to our favorite hill … Elings Park … it overlooks the ocean on one side and the city of Santa Barbara on the other. B.L.I.S.S. This is one of Brooks’ favorite places to be! Before dinner was ready, we went for our walk with all of the kiddos … I brought along my camera ‘just in case’. When I asked Brooks if he wanted to take some pictures, he politely answered ‘no thanks’. I still had nothing to put in a Christmas card so I offered the big bribe … hot tamales! He’s a sucker for hot tamales! All he gave me was 5 minutes and he earned his prize box of hot cinnamon goodness. I love these captures because they truly show who he is right now… sticks and all!

I had picked out a tri-fold template last summer and couldn’t be happier with how it went with the images! I picked my favorite for the full panel center image…4th one down … that’s my boy!

Merry Christmas!

I couldn’t wait for this session with 6 beautiful girls…including the gorgeous mom! We had tried to schedule this session last summer, but just couldn’t get the timing to work. I was so glad to meet up with them when I was home in Santa Barbara for Thanksgiving. They spent the holidays at this beautiful family ranch outside of Santa Barbara. The days leading up the the session were filled with warm weather and a blue sky… perfect fall weather. The evening of the session was soooo windy and cold … the girls were such good sports … you can’t even tell that they were freezing. :)

Thanks!

I was really looking forward to getting these two darling girls in front of my camera! Little K was a bit shy at first but she warmed up and had so much fun!

Thanks… xoxo

During Thanksgiving break I had the pleasure of capturing the beautiful Clayton family in Santa Barbara. This gorgeous mama and I have known each other since I was 6 … my sister and I loved to walk down the street to their house. Fun memories!

We met up at Santa Claus beach on a gorgeous late afternoon. Miss P and Miss D were fun to play with and very cooperative. I love the light at the beach in the late afternoon in the fall … perfect!

Thanks so much Claytons … looking forward to seeing you over the holidays!

One of my favorite December traditions is a trip to Balboa Park to see the Grinch! This year, I was on the computer ordering our tickets the first morning they were released … we had fabulous seats! Brooks’ good buddy Trevor and his mom joined us and also sitting close by were the Sullivans.

Brooks and I arrived a little early and enjoyed a bit of sun as we walked around the park. After the show, we all hit City Deli for such a yummy lunch!

Thank you to the Douds and the Sullivans for making this December tradition even more special!

What’s a trip to Balboa Park without a few captures of my favorite boy!

Do to a change in my schedule, I was able to add the Wanners to the ‘short and sweet’ sessions in Del Mar. I’m so glad it worked out! I adored this family! When their session started we took a few family captures then mom said all she wanted for the rest were candid images … no posing! I LOVED it!!!

When I began uploading this session, it made me tear up a bit, it totally showed a family laughing, relaxing, loving and having fun … oh yeah… they got wet, too… really wet!!! My DREAM session!

Thank you so much!

a visit with santa {2009}

Jules — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 23:22:30 +0000

On Sunday we had our annual visit with Santa! Brooks and his buddies have been coming to see this Santa ever since he was one month old! He always looks forward to sharing his wish list with Santa and playing with good friends. His list doesn’t change much from year to year… last year it was super heros and knights and this year star wars and knights! Done!!!

Yes… I know there are too many, but poor Brooks has been a bit neglected on the blog. Also, I was playing around with new processing on this set using my new florabella actions. :)

Happy Holidays!

The first 4 years… I love what the Santa Ana winds did for his hair when he was 2! :)

A few from last year…

And now to 2009… we arrived a little early so Brooks enjoyed hanging out with b and b.

The five B’s had a great morning! Thanks Santa!!!

The Stills are another gorgeous family from school. Can you believe this beautiful mom has two teenagers?! We had such a good time together!

Thanks,
