Family Portraits in Santa Barbara

Dara — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 16:55:18 +0000

Austin & I met up with with Kip (Dad), Sam (Mom) and Cassy at East Beach for some family portraits!

As you could guess, Cassy pretty much stole the show.

Though Cass was shy at first, she let it all go soon enough! Haha - look at that grin!

It is moments like these that Austin & I get really excited about the birth of our daughter (Coming Soon!) These two made it look so easy and really showed us how much fun having a family can be.

Sam is 9 months pregnant and as you can tell, they are very excited to meet the new addition to the family!

What a shot! Cass is definitely a pro on the swings.

Randee Portraits on Beach

It was a beautiful day at Leadbetter beach when Randee and I went out to take photos. We got to play around on the lifeguard towers, and get plenty of quality portraits - Not to mention, we had a lot of fun! Enjoy…

Is it spelled “Leadbetter” or “Ledbetter” beach? Does anyone remember?

These are my favorite photo sessions: Lifestyle portraits on the beach! It Brings me back to the surf photography days!

Who knew that a portrait session could be so much fun? It’s cool how after a few photos are taken, you can forget about the camera and just have a good time!

I tried to take a bad picture of her, I swear… I just couldn’t!

After interviewing a few other photographers, Tyler & Adriana decided to hire Austin & I to shoot their wedding. We are so excited! This is a few of our favorites from their Engagement/Family portrait session a few weeks back.

Of course Adriana’s daughter Natalie had to get into the photos, and that’s when the real fun started!

That was a fun afternoon, but it didn’t stop there! Before they left, we took a few more photos out by their car… See their Fun Portraits Photos here.

Hilarious Wedding Ads

Oh my gosh! I laughed so hard when I saw these Slimfast ads.

It’s sad that they play of the insecurities of the bride - I mean, that was pretty cruel.

On the other hand, what weight-loss business doesn’t?

Either way, I thought it was pretty genius. Great photos anyway!

I only had a few minutes to shoot some portraits of this cute little girl, so here are a few photos I was able to squeeze in. She was all dressed up in her little outfit - and sassy too. How cool is her dog!

Kristen and I took advantage of the beautiful day and headed out to the beach to take some photos. The light was perfect, and there was so much going on all over the place. I love how the world never stops, and there is beauty all over the place!

Jason & Ashley Engagement Portraits

It is always cool to meet a couple that is recently engaged! There love is so contagious. Austin & I met with these two after their Mass finished and took photos until the sun began setting. It was an awesome shoot - we got to know each other and got to talk about the excitement of planning a wedding! We are really looking forward to photographing their wedding in February!

The Santa Barbara Mission is a great location for an Engagement Shoot if anyone is looking for a good place in Santa Barbara. There are just so many possible photos there - it’s incredible.
