February is always a month where we get to indulge in some sweets! Here are a few of my favorite sweet shots! These are from local Santa Barbara businesses and I would would like to give a shout out to them for letting me photograph their wonderful creations!

OMG! As the year ends, I can't help but think about what an awesome year it was! I personally did things that I have never done before! But what really sticks out in my mind is all the nice things others said about me :] Santa Barbara News Press "Readers Choice" chose me as their favorite photographer :) NAWBO (National Association of Women Business Owners) nominated me as their Member of The Year! This was such an honor and I am so excited to work with these ladies! And then, as if a cherry on top, Leads Club nominated me as Leader of The Year AND Spirit Of Leads Club! WOW! What an honor! Both things mean so much to me! One, being all things I love to be and the other being all things I strive to be :) And in the end, I just feel so lucky to do what I absolutely LOVE to do... which is photographing life's biggest moments!!!!!!!
Every year I get to see some of my favorite clients for family photos! And every year, we try to come up with a new location & new ideas! In each photo session, I don't just shoot the family in one spot, we move around and do all kinds of combinations...everyone, each kid, only the kids, dad with the girls, mom with the boys. You get the idea ;) So now you get to see it! Oh yea, every year, someone's Holiday Card is awesome! I call it card envy, because all your friends will wish they had their photos done by me :) It's not too late to have me document your family in time... Call me today!!!!!! 805.708.2583 ;]
Happy Holidays!!!!!
What an adventure! When I was asked to hike to the peak, I said YES! I love adventure & going to a new place is always appealing to me! I had intentions of hiking before this big day, but never had time. I knew I could go 3 miles up, even though the groom to be/bachelor no more, let me know it was strenuous. 8.68 miles later, my legs were done!
The day began... I was excited to be a part of this super big surprise! I love secrets! The future groom & I set set out about 45 minutes before the unsuspecting bride to be & her future mother in law. The rest of it is told through my photos (I hope!). It's a pretty intimate moment in two lives, so I tried to keep it that way and hang back so the moment could be theirs :)
He thought of everything too! Champagne, a toasting cup for me, a change of clothes for both of them, blanket, and oh yes the ring! The emotions in the photos are genuine & raw :) I just captured it all and then some... the scenery was breathtaking! Oh wait, that was the hike! LOL But I couldn't resist putting in lots of the beauty and awesomeness I found along the way :)
Oh, by the way, she said YES!
