Family Photo Mini Sessions- Santa Barbara, Ca

It's that time of year!!  Time for my annual Christmas Portrait Mini Sessions.  I look forward to these every year because I get to see some of my favorite families come back once again to capture these very special moments in their lives.  The Smith Family is no exception!   We had a great photo shoot on the Mesa in Santa Barbara...  This short mini session was perfect for their little man who did a fantastic job as we captured some beautiful photos for their Christmas Card.  I just love the Holidays!!!

Brotherly Love - Outdoor Family Photography, Santa Barbara CA

It has been one busy portrait season!!!  I am just finally getting around to posting some of favorite family photo shoots from the last couple of months.  The Nisen family was one of my first photo shoots of the Holiday Season...  These boys were full of energy, which I just love!  It is always fun to capture the true nature of young boys... So sweet!  The oak trees were just beautiful and I love fall colors we so rarely see here in Santa Barbara.

A Santa Barbara Winter- Children and Family Photography

It was such a pleasure to photograph this sweet family at the Casa Covarrubias in Santa Barbara!  The sun was shining, the air was crisp, and the light was so soft and beautiful... A perfect combination for some stunning family photos.  Oh, how I love winter in Santa Barbara and all the beautiful places to take outdoor portraits for the holidays!  These two little girls couldn't be cuter with their pretty dresses and big blue eyes...

Little Jake - Newborn Photos, Santa Barbara CA

There are no words for how sweet little guy is!  Baby Jake is so blessed to have such a loving family and I was lucky enough to photograph some of their first memories together.  Jake was so calm throughout the entire photo shoot and I was able to capture some very precious moments at their home in Santa Barbara, CA.  I just love newborn portraits... These tiny little people grow up so quickly!

Isabella & Sweet Baby Jack- Newborn Portrait, Santa Barbara CA

It was my pleasure to photograph this sweet little guy last week in their home in Santa Barbara, CA.  We had a great photo shoot with Jack's big sis showering him with love...  So cute to see!  Oh, how I love sleeping baby portraits!  It took a little time to get baby Jack all comfy and cozy, but it was time well spent!  We got some beautiful newborn photos that melt my heart.  This little guy did amazing and has such a calm nature to him... Isn't he adorable!
