Mostly Olivia

A few weeks ago Cameron and I photographed an engagement session in Santa Barbara. The session included Cameron and I, Matt, Tara, and mostly Olivia. While Cameron photographed them together I snuck away with Olivia to get some shots of her showing off. Here are some of my favorites from the afternoon.






Olivia is going to make a beautiful bridesmaid (this must not be mistaken for flower girl – I was already reprimanded once for making that mistake).



I also gave Olivia a little photo lesson - she did pretty good too! Thanks again for a great day!

Yeah for Fall !!!

Fall is falling and I am sooo happy about it! I love having to put a sweater on before I go outside (sometimes a sweater – we still live on the Central Coast don’t we?!). The colors are such beautiful backdrops! Also, I cannot help but feel excited about fall because I was engaged in this season only a short year ago: Our Engagment. My most recent shoot was at the Avila Valley Barn a short drive from our house. If you haven’t gone yet this season – GO NOW!!! The pumpkins are out and there are 2 hay-mazes that are great for kids (and adults). Cameron and I were there a few weeks before check out that adventure here: Pumpkin Adventure .




The Roberts girls also LOVE pumpkins and had a blast on the shoot. Apparently this was their 3rd time there that week!! It was so much fun stepping into their little world and capturing moments as they ran around and giggled. Thanks Roberts – your family is adorable!!

Ethan Chase

Meet Ethan Chase, he is one of my little nephews and every time I kiss his chubby little cheeks I get a bit ooey-gooey inside. On a quick visit to see my brother, sister-in-law, and little Ethan I couldn’t resist snapping a few photos of the little guy. This is their first baby and I have to boast, they are AWESOME parents. You wouldn’t know that they’ve only had 3 months practice! Cameron and I did a shoot a while back for them during their pregnancy, check those out here Ethan Chase!



I couldn’t help but post so many pictures because they were all so cute!! Cameron finally had to help me trim them down because how many pictures with the same expression can you have?! (If you ask me – LOTS). He started to make fun of me as I was processing them and squealing and ‘oochoo-booboo-ing’ to the computer screen. I admit, I was a bit ridiculous. I am sure you will probably see lots of the little guys on my blog, along with ALL of my adorable nephews and niece!!
