Alicia and Jon’s Wedding at El Capitan Beach Santa Barbara

Alicia and Jon opted for a small wedding at El Capitan Beach in Santa Barbara.  What an amazing place for photography.

I absolutely adored the love that freely flowed between the family and this beautiful couple.

 

Beautiful ~ The Villa Rosa Inn in Santa Barbara was so fun to photograph at!  I love the light coming through this door towards the staircase – Beautiful!
God’s natural Cathedral!!  Honestly one of the most beautiful settings I could imagine!Possibly my favorite pictures but them I honestly don’t think I can chose!The only thing I may love as much as flowers is iron gates.  Absolutely beautiful!

Alicia and Jon – May your road together be Blessed!

 

Hannah – 2012 Senior Portrait Model!

I know – I know – The 2011 Seniors haven’t even graduated yet BUT believe me it  isn’t too early to be thinking of Senior Portraits for the Class of 2012.  It’s true summer is right around the corner AND time flies by even faster in the summer and next thing you know school is starting and your portraits are due for the yearbook!  Not to mention incoming Seniors booking their session early in the summer save lots of $$$

Hannah and a few other lucky Juniors have been nominated by their teachers or coaches to be my models for the upcoming Senior Portrait season.  I only take a few models from each school and it is always amazing how awesome these kids are.  I ask for models that are very involved in their school and community and I always get the most top notch kids!

Models for CS {seniors} get lots of free stuff, a free session and opportunities to earn even more free goodies!  Keep posted for more info on my models and their senior portrait experience.

If Hannah gives you one of these cards AND you book a session for June or July you will get one of these AWESOME pocket albums with your session FREE!

What a great way to share your Portraits!!!

So booking your senior session early in the summer saves lots of $$$$ and you get cool stuff!

Here are some more of Hannah’s Pictures!

Graduation Cards that are Keepers!

High School Graduation is truly a milestone.  I believe it should be a celebration of who you are!

I offer all my senior portrait clients unique graduation cards that they help design!  There are no two cards that are alike.  They are printed on heavy card stock with many fine art paper choices.  These are not you photo printer cards!  Every year I get emails and phone calls from people who have received these cards saying just how cool they think they are.

These cards have been so popular because they truly are a quality keepsake that friends and family love receiving!

So here is a shout out to all my Class of 2011 clients – Time to get you cards designed!!!  Give me a call and I’ll help you through it 🙂

 

Beloved Sessions – Pismo Beach Photography

At a recent photography convention I heard photographer Jesh de Rox talk about his concept of the “Beloved” photography sessions. I would be lying if I didn’t say I had tears streaming down my face for much of the presentation. Here is the concept in a nutshell:

Love that lasts the tests of time –
Love that has weathered the storms of life –
Love that has grown and endures!

Isn’t this the love worth celebrating!

A Beloved photo session celebrates lasting love! And while photographing these couples the photographer takes time to ask them questions about how they fell in love and what they love most about each other now etc. So by the end of the session, the couple not only has beautiful images of them together but often they begin to see each other through fresh eyes.  Truly it becomes a celebration of their love!
I just love this concept!!!  Photography can be so powerful!

Gwen – Senior Portraits

Enjoy your senior year Gwen!
