Matzke Family Session

It was a fun afternoon after the rain cleared at Crissy Field. Noah has grown up so much since I last saw him about a year ago! It was so fun to see him walking around and interacting, as last year he was just a babe. See more highlights from the shoot HERE! Thanks Matzke's for another fun shoot!

Kathy and Ryan Wedding - Santa Barbara CA

Kathy and Ryan were married on a beautiful Fall day in Santa Barbara. The girls began getting ready at Montecito Country Club and the boys got ready at a private residence on the beach. SB Trolley took both parties to Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Catholic Church in the afternoon for the big event. The day was filled with love and attention to every detail. It was a very touching and memorable day! See more of the day in the slideshow HERE!

They did a send off at the church upon going to the Reception and all guests were given Ribbon Sticks

The couple rented a photo booth for guests to have fun with as a memento for their guest book.

Another send off was done at the end of the evening as Kathy threw her bouquet off the banister and they ran out the door with tons of confetti pouring over them!

Robyn Maternity Session

My good friend Robyn is having a baby girl! I'm so excited for her and Alex to welcome this baby into the world. She is going to be so loved! I'm looking forward to capturing her when she arrives and watching her grow up. Robyn you are beautiful and glowing and you are going to be such a good Mommy!

Dow Family Session

It was a beautiful fall day to capture the Dow Family! We had lots of fun at the park. I have had the opportunity to work with Christine at Click Photography for the past few years doing some studio work and I was flattered when she asked me for the second year in a row to do their family Christmas card. You can tell her kids are used to being photographed with all those award winning smiles! They were able to give me a few goofy shots as well, I'm glad they have a good sense of humor about the whole thing :)
Thanks Dow Family for a great shoot!
Happy Holidays!

Crandall Photo Session - Crissy Field

It was a typical day in SF at Crissy Field that left the sky a little overcast and the ocean a little cooler then normal, but this certainly did not keep 23 month Linnea out of the water! She had a fabulous time at the beach running around and just being totally and completely free. This busy body didn't even stop for a moment! She got in the water dress and all and didn't even mind when a huge wave took her out - she was truly one with the sea and had a ball!

These are the days that I love my job...

Mom had to pull her out of the sea...but she kept on smiling :)

See more photos from our fun session in the SLIDESHOW!

Lucas' 1st Birthday Party

Lucas turned 1 on Halloween and everyone got to celebrate in costume and with cake of course! It was a fun fall day to capture! To view more images from the day check out his slideshow here.

Look at all these cute costumes! Happy Halloween!

Lindsay and Jimmy's Santa Barbara Wedding

I'm in the process of editing Lindsay and Jimmy's Wedding but I just had to post this awesome shot of the bridal party on a tractor! They were such great sports about embracing the outdoors and all it had to offer. The wedding took place at Gainey Vineyard in Solvang last weekend. Jimmy and Lindsay both grew up in the Palisades, my home town, and met when they were just toddlers. I actually went to pre-school with Jimmy and danced all through growing up with Lindsay. It was such a great day to capture and see so many people from childhood as well. Of course this wedding would not be the same without the honor of shooting with SDK Photo!
