Jennine & Eddie’s engagement shoot took place on the beautiful monarch butterfly preserve just outside of Santa Barbara, CA. Just stepping out of the thin layer of woods, up a slight incline, you are met with a enormously large expanse of empty plains that end in cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean. It’s an amazing spot to walk, think, pray, enjoy a quiet walk with a friend or loved one… or, of course, have a photo shoot. I really enjoyed shooting there, and will miss that place when we’re gone.
Carissa + Tom || Wedding
Carissa and Tom’s wedding was in Santa Barbara at the Biltmore Hotel which sits on one of the most beautiful beaches in Southern California… Butterfly Beach. I often miss living in Santa Barbara, but looking back at photos that I’ve taken there does my heart good.
The Coopers || Family Portraits
What follows are some of my favorite shots from the Cooper family photo session last week. The Coopers are good friends of ours in Santa Barbara. They have so much joy and just truly love being around each other. It was a pleasure to photograph their family… Thanks guys!
